Second Place in Post Graduate, Judge: Mr Darren J Lockley (Chatmoss)
My thanks to all involved especially the exhibitors for bringing their dogs for me to go over and give my opinion.
All dogs were easily spannable which was a pleasure to see and most felt super fit with great jackets.
20 mth red bitch. Another from this kennel which was in super fit condition. Excellent coat with a loose, pliable pelt. Easily spanned. Moderately broad head with correct ears and eyes. Good scissor bite with decent sized teeth, although 1 tooth is broken I see no reason whatsoever to punish it. Good front assembly and shoulder placement. Another 1 with a strong loin, thighs and second thigh. Good carroty tail which was well set on. Standing on good hard feet with well worn nails. Unfortunately this bitch was more interested in the catering facilities which were immediately adjacent to our ring and it showed in her movement.
