First Place in Post Graduate - Bitch, Judge: Miss Claire Tutin (Riseburn)
I would like to thank the officers and committee for their invitation to judge their open show, and their warm welcome and hospitality. I would also like to thank my two efficient stewards on the day, Ian Hopper and John Thomas.
The entry was very pleasing but there were quite a few absentees on the day, especially the dog classes. However I enjoyed my day and was pleased with all my class winners, making a very satisfactory final line up, including some promising puppies, with some difficult decisions to be made. I found one bad mouth and one kinked tail.
Beautiful outline and body lines, excellent blue and tan jacket on thick pliable pelt, feminine ottery head with super expression, narrow all through, good in rib, topline and tail set, well angulated shoulders balanced by good rear angulation with correct bend of stifle, free, easy and accurate movement, expertly handled. Pleased to ward her RBB.
