First Place in Junior, Judge: Mrs N Anderson
Many thanks to the club for the invite to judge at their 90th Anniversary show, it was a lovely well run show. Also thanks to my capable steward, Judy Carr who kept things running smoothly throughout. Thanks to all the exhibitors who entered on the day and accepted my decisions in a sporting way. All males were entire, no bad mouths or kinked tails. There was quite a variety in type on the day. The biggest issue was movement with many dogs swinging in front or pinning and lacking the drive from behind to follow a horse. I like my dogs in hard, fit condition and found many lacking in this area with little muscle tone. However I found some quality dogs and was delighted to see my BOB go TG1.
16month old G&T bitch who was smartly presented in a super harsh double jacket. Although she doesn’t have the strongest of heads she has pleasing feminine expression who really shows her socks off. Narrow throughout with a straight front standing on lovely tight feet. She had a good length of rib and was easily spanned. A good mover holding her topline. Good tailset. Well handled and shown to her advantage.
