First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mr Frank Nicholls (Halcus)
My grateful thanks to the committee and officers for their brilliant hospitality and to stewards Doreen Rushby and Graham Richardson for their hard work and attempts at keeping me out of trouble. An excellent entry with real quality present in both dogs and bitches. Unfortunately, at the risk of sounding like a stuck record, front movement was a real problem in quite a few exhibits, not I might add in the top winners, but unfortunately occasional compromises had to be made in this respect in some classes when filling some of the lower placings.
A dog I had never seen before and I was impressed. Lovely head and reach of neck into clean shoulders. Excellent front, tidy feet, narrow build, good in outline, good ribs and strong loin, well set tail, good angulation. Excellent coat coat and pelt, moved true and with drive. Dog cc and Res. best in show.
