First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Miss Jean Singh
I would like to thank my stewards who kept the event running smoothly. My decisions were made on the exhibit on the day
I found heavy ears are creeping in, detracting from the otter head and keen expression. An excessive amount of exhibits were not in hard, toned condition. ‘Couch potato’ dogs come to mind. Front movement is also a cause for concern. I found two level mouths, one just level and a puppy , had a tooth out of line. My decision on some unplaced exhibits were a culmination of a long foreface and untypical expression, unspannable even though I gave some leeway and poor front movement.
Blue and tan with ticking evident. She has a lovely feminine head with well placed ears and a strong muzzle. Her coat was pin wire with undercoat evident. Her pelt was thick. She has correct bone, a straight front and good neck and shoulders. She has a lovely outline and a good tailset, she moved true both ways and showed well. RBCC
