First Place in Graduate - Bitch, Judge: Mr Julien Barney (Romaunt)
A big thank you to the committee for giving me the opportunity to judge at this well run show. A super sporting atmosphere around the ring on a very pleasant sunny autumn afternoon.
My general comments would be about heads and the lack of that typical Otter look with a good skull and a powerful muzzle required to do their job. Front movement in some wasn’t good being tied in front and I wonder how well they would be able to follow a horse for a good days hunting. Plus size seemed to be an issue with some being well up to the limit.
Preferred the neck and shoulder to 2nd. Cleaner. Into a good topline and depth of brisket and racy hindquarters. Good harsh coat. Pleasing head. Like a little more confidence on the move.
