First Place in Puppy, Judge: Tracey Anscombe (Orangebox)
Thank you to the committee of this fantastic, friendly and well organised show for the appointment to judge originally the Border Terriers, but due to the group judge Colin Richardson falling fowl to a dodgy Chinese I was extremely honoured to be able to cover his breed classes with Darwin Martin completing the AV and Group. I wish Colin a speedy recovery. Thank you to the exhibitors for bringing their dogs.
Very attractive 10 month old grizzle and tan bitch. Attractive head with strength of muzzle, scissor bite, small V shaped ears dropping to cheek. Very narrow with good lay of rib into lion which was OK but wouldn’t want her to carry anymore length but is balanced. Stands on small cat like feet. Shown in good double coat of harsh texture. Moved well. Easy to span which gave her the edge over 2nd placed in this class and also her litter brother for Best Puppy.
