First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mr Dave Matthews (Tojamatt)
Many thanks to City of Birmingham Canine Society for giving me the opportunity to judge this show , my first Championship show, may I also thank every exhibitor who entered the show ,and also my steward Alan Tomlinson for his help.
I enjoyed my day ,I was very pleased with the entry,I had some difficult decisions to make on the day .
The ring was of a good size and that gave the exibits the chance to get into there stride,front movement on some exibits was a little loose ,but I had some real good movers, a few low set tails are creeping in to the breed ,Iwas pleased with the condition and presentation of the exhibits ,I found some really good pelts and coats, I am pleased to say the the day passed without a cross word from any of the exibits ,I was pleased with heads and expression , some foreign expressions had been appearing in recent years.
May I again thank you all for the chance to go over your dogs , and for the way you accepted my decisions .
Another handy sized bitch with a quality Blue and Tan coat, harsh thick and dense covering a thick loose pelt. A good head full of expression dark eye, neat ears, good bite and teeth. Narrow front neat feet nice length of neck and shoulder placement, flat ribs carried well back, a good firm loin and good angulation moved very well both ways with little effort carrying a good topline and tailset pushed hard for cc today.
