First Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mr. David Hunt (Ottaswell)
Thanks go to the committee of the Scottish Kennel Club for inviting me to judge for the first time north of the border, Special thanks to my stewards on the day Messrs Goudie & Jackson for organising the ring so efficiently and ensuring everything ran smoothly during my judging. Good stewards are a welcome bonus for any judge. Despite the disappointing weather, thanks also to the exhibitors who attended and for giving me the second highest breed entry of the whole show.
With a large ring and mown grass, I was able to see the dogs move accurately. In general I thought the bitches were stronger than the dogs, but was pleased with all my class winners, and thought my CC winners a credit to the breed. Size was generally good with only a couple being difficult to span. As always coats were at various stages but I was surprised to find 2 very undershot bites in mid range classes.
A strong class where places would change on another day.
A very appealing g/tan Beautiful head being short and strong in muzzle, flat skull and well placed ears. Clean neck flows into straight front carried on small tight feet. She is excellent in profile, deep but not too deep, with flat ribs carried well back. Her topline is super both standing and on the move. Harsh coat and loose pelt. In super condition she used her well developed and muscular rear end to power round the ring. RESERVE BITCH CC
