First Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mrs Anne Heathcote (Saxheath)
I would like to thank you all for allowing me to go over your dogs and also our Stewards John and Marvin for keeping everything running smoothly enabling me to finish in good time .
I have to say that I found movement in a number of classes worrying . Although most dogs looked ok in profile when viewed from the front and rear there were too many moving closely and a few flicking wrists . This was reflected in my placings with the soundest being placed highest .
Mouths were good with just one level bite but there were both dogs and bitches which I could not span . Coats were , on the whole , pretty good .
Two differing types of dog with much to like about both of them
Dark gr with a strong head , varminty expression and large teeth . good front angulation , topline and bend of stifle . He had a tight hard jacket , thick pelt and moved well on neat feet .
