First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mr. Frank Nicholls (Halcus)
Many thanks to everyone for an excellent entry, both in numbers and quality. While there were many well made exhibits it became a frustrating experience at times trying to find those with a decent coat, many having presumably been stripped out following Crufts in preparation for the season ahead, after all they can’t be in coat all of the time! Front movement again was a problem, not so much due to under reaching or circus pony, high stepping, but pinning and knitting. Heads were a mixed bag, one or two with excessive stops and rounded skulls but none excessively broad. There were some “snipey” muzzles present.
Good quality dog with excellent head and expression, narrow front, small tidy feet, clean laid back shoulders, good rib cage and strong loin, well set tail, excellent coat and pelt. Presented a lovely profile, not overdone in any way. Moved effortlessly around the ring. Reserve CC.
