First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mr David G Winsley (Davmar)
Though the standard calls for a narrow body I found many dogs who were too skinny & I could easily feel their ribs! Heads were quite disappointing, many had long weak muzzles not the proportions one associates with an Otters head. Many exhibits lack the small round foot & I doubt if they would cope with the exercise it needs to follow a horse. Coats were mixed & many just a seasonal problem.
an outstanding young male who stood out in this class. He is totally balanced throughout & a nice size. He has one of the best heads with a keen expression & well placed ears. A good reach of neck, clean well angulated shoulders with a straight front. Correctly made body that was well ribbed back, good topline & tailset. Strongly made hindquarters with a good turn of stifle, & one of the minority with good feet! Quality coat of the right texture, a good pelt & the right amount of coat. Moved around the ring effortlessly & showed all out. Well deserved CC & BOB then he won G2
