First Place in Junior, Judge: Anna Duxbury (Ridgebow)
I would very much like to thank the officers and committee for offering me this appointment, and for their excellent hospitality. Thanks also to the ring steward/show secretary who kept things running smoothly. Mostly, of course, I would like to thank all the exhibitors for allowing me not only the privilege of going over their dogs and their sporting acceptance of my decisions but also their patience whilst waiting for our ring to become free! Temperaments on the day were excellent; coats were quite varied. I found no dogs with incorrect bites and all male dogs were entire.
14 month old grizzle and tan bitch, well balanced and of lovely size. Very coarse, dense coat with thick pelt. Straight narrow front, well ribbed back into strong loin, with correct rear angulation. Very good topline and tailset, and tail of good shape and length. Excellent mover all ways, with drive and purpose. Just preferred overall type of 1 in the final line up, but I am sure this girl will do very well.
