First Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Anna Duxbury (Ridgebow)
I would very much like to thank the officers and committee for offering me my first club show in this lovely light, large hall. The hospitality was wonderful! Thanks also to the efficient ring stewards and most of all to all the exhibitors for their wonderful entry and allowing me the privilege of going over their dogs. Sincere thanks for the sporting manner in which my decisions were accepted. Temperaments on the day were excellent, coats were very varied – some good dogs were penalised for not having double coat. No mouths were undershot and all male dogs were entire.
Excelled in head and expression, with good dentition. Nice reach of neck with good angulation and well laid back ribs. Really good pelt with thick red double jacket that hid his good construction. Could have been tidied to advantage. Moved well with drive, only beaten by a good champion in the challenge, liked him a lot.
