Second Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs Diane Rayner (Stoneygin)

Show Critique:

I would first of all like to thank the society for inviting me to judge this show.
I would also like to thank Bob my steward for a sterling job.
I am sorry to bring this up again but I was most disappointed yet again to find a few exhibits that were far too thin. This determined placings as they are not fit for purpose.
Coats were at various stages as normally is the case, I had a few unspannable, but most were in a good fit condition.
I was pleased with my entry and enjoyed going over some lovely exhibits, most were a credit to you.

Placing Critique:

Smaller type with good typical head. Neat ears and keen expression. Correct reach of neck into well placed shoulders. Easily spanned, good bend of stifle, a little short of coat today which was a pity. Like him a lot.
