First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mr Stewart Golding (Beaconpike)
Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge, this was my first time awarding CC’s. Thank you to my stewards for keeping the ring running smoothly. A big thank you must go to the exhibitors for a good entry especially on a Thursday in the middle of Wales in the current climate we live in. I only have a couple of concerns. Movement is paramount in our breed and these dogs should be able to cover ground easily I found due to poor shoulder angulation a few had restrained front movement. I did forgive coat in class placings where evidence of a new coat was present, however I did find a lot of single coated dogs possibly down to over grooming, my main winners all had correct double coat of depth. I had a very enjoyable day, thank you to everyone for accepting my decisions gracefully.
Handy size bitch with super otter head dark eye and correct bite, well set on ears, good reach of neck with good shoulders, good length of rib level top line and well set on tail, good double coat with good pelt, she powers around the ring with drive with a look at me attitude, a good honest bitch, delighted to award her the RBCC.
