Second Place in Junior - Bitch, 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.
Another close decision between these two! Excellent head with nice dark eye, short strong muzzle and good sized teeth. Good angulation front and rear and nice thick padded feet. Super coat which made her look quite heavy but on inspection this was not so. Good pelt. Held her topline well, and had a super thick carroty tail. Just preferred balance of 1 today.
