First Place in Veteran - Bitch, Judge: Miss A D Swales

Show Critique:

This was a lovely entry, I send my good wishes for a speedy return to the ring to the scheduled judged Miss E D Rumsan. Coats were at all stages & I have to say that there were some which had no evidence of a second coat. Mouths were good except for, unusually, one overshot, Temperaments appeared to be OK, although a few lack confidence & were hesitant. The green carpet helped to show up some wide fronts & movement which did not extend & lacked drive, needed to follow a horse. All my placed dogs spanned comfortably. I was not happy with some exhibitors who were constantly feeding their dogs, even on the table.

Placing Critique:

a lot to like about this bitch, good broad head, keen eye, pleasing outline, moved very well, holding topline, very enthusiastic, enjoyed her show & never stopped wagging her tail, short of coat
