Second Place in Post Graduate, 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.
Grizzle bitch, lovely head with little stop and a keen expression. Nice length of neck into straight front with good feet. Well ribbed back with good underline. Nicely muscled all round. Slightly low tailset, and a little short of coat today but moved soundly and with enthusiasm to take the second spot.
