First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Miss J Singh (Vandamere)
I would like to express my appreciation to the exhibitors for their support. On the whole, rear movement was satisfactory. However I observed front movement on some exhibits was unsatisfactory. I found one mouth with a misplaced tooth and another with a just passable level bite. Presentation of most dogs was of a high standard but some exhibits shown today would benefit greatly from regular daily exercise.
This grizzle and tan dog had a good otter head with a short strong muzzle, large powerful teeth with a scissor bite. Good length of neck leading to well laid shoulders and a straight narrow front with correct bone and tight feet. His ribs were carried well back and he was easily spannable. Coat was of correct texture and he has a thick pelt. Lovely profile with a level top line while standing and on the move. He has a good bend of stifle with well muscled first and second thigh and for this reason he moved with drive. His presentation and condition was first class and he responded to his handler to show off his qualities. Movement both ways was sound. Dog Challenge Certificate and Best of Breed.
