First Place in Junior - Bitch, 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.
A tremendous class headed by three young bitches of the highest quality.
Stylish blue and tan, narrow throughout, with excellent front, feminine head with strong jaw, good eye and correct shaped skull with well set ears, lovely neck into clean laid back shoulders, flat ribs and strong loin, well set tail, bone just right, coat in excellent condition, covered the ground easily. A picture of restraint. CC. and Best of Breed..
