Second Place in Junior, Judge: Mrs V Atkinson (Raedwulf)
I so much enjoyed my day judging the inaugural Open Show. Thank you to Mrs Pat Dufty and the Committee for inviting me to judge, it was an honour. I was assisted expertly by the wonderful Avis and Preston Haffenden to whom I am very grateful. Thank you most of all to my Exhibitors who allowed me the privilege of going over their dogs and for the sporting manner in which my decisions were taken.
Another 17 month old grizzle and tan bitch. Really lovely otter head with big teeth and correct bite. This bitch looked big until I got my hands on her. Presented with plenty of coat and a loose thick pelt, she was easily spanned with narrow rib, strong loin and good rear.
Moved with efficiency she carried her top line but I preferred the size of my winner in this class.
