First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Mrs Anne Heathcote (Saxheath)
I would like to thank the Society for giving me the opportunity to judge our breed for the first time at their 160th Anniversary show and for their hospitality. I was able to complete the judging in good time thanks to my two excellent Stewards Steph and Alan.
The quality of the entry was pleasing overall but one or two could have benefited from tidying , it is a show and you owe it to your dog to present them well , and I was unable to span a few . However , my main winners were for me the correct size and in some of the classes the decisions were very close.
Thank you for accepting my decisions so gracefully.
Lovely gr dog. Masculine head and big teeth. Straight front , level topline and good bend of stifle topped by a thick pelt and harsh jacket. Moved soundly and presented and handled perfectly. Considered for top honours.
