Second Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs Nancy Hogg
My thanks go to the exhibitors who showed their dogs under me. I was very pleased with my entry, both numerically and depth of quality of the exhibits. The ring was large, even and the grass cut very short. I had two very able stewards and the predicted rain stayed away. What more could I ask for ?.
On the whole the presentation was good although some dogs lacked condition. Temperaments were good. Coats were variable. I found one kinked tail, one wrong mouth but more than a few small teeth.
Just right for size. Typical head. Short muzzle. Excels in reach of neck and layback of shoulder. Liked his topline and tailset. Excellent bodylines. Good bend of stifle. Narrow throughout. First class condition. Good coat and pelt. Moved well both ways. Res DCC.
