First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Jeff Luscott
Thank you for the invitation to judge a most enjoyable show, it was good to receive very homely hospitality and I was well looked after by my two very efficient stewards, Norma and Scott. Thank you to the exhibitors for the lovely entry and the sporting atmosphere created around the ring. I enjoyed judging the overall entry with most of the classes having close decisions to be made, with the junior, limit and open classes being particularly strong.
A stunning well built example, with quality through his frame , he has the typical otter head with a strong jaw and a good U/jaw, keen eye and well set ear, I liked the muscle tone in his spannable body, top line and rear end, he moves with an easy style on good angles, he is well presented in a good coat and handled to show his alert and active gameness to take the class, Best Dog and Best In Show.
