First Place in Special Open Dog or Bitch Holding a Working Certificate, Judge: Mr A Horner (Stineval)
May I take the opportunity to thank the Club and its members for inviting me to judge at this show, and for the super warm hospitality I received. Special thanks to my ring stewards Carolyn Richardson and Julie North, for being efficient and keeping me on track.
I found no bad mouths and as always in our breed, coats at various stages. Lots of spannable dogs and bitches which I like.
I would like to say a huge thank you to the exhibitors for giving me the opportunity to go over their dogs, this was a real honour and I thoroughly enjoyed my day.
(G/t) Standing alone in this class but very worthy of his 1st prize and worthy also of his W/Cert. A fit masculine dog. Well- made throughout, good head and dark eye with good expression. Strong muzzle with large teeth and good under jaw, a good harsh jacket and thick pelt, in super condition and super muscle tone, short tail well set on. And moved well.
