Second Place in Veteran - Dog or Bitch, Judge: Mr. Mark Ord (Marnadee)
It was a great pleasure to be invited to judge this show and I wish to thank the committee for their great hospitality, a superb home cooked lunch and pleasant show. The gift was lovely and will be treasured. Special thanks to my stewards today Allen Horner & Norma Todd.
I was pleased with my overall entry of dogs and glad to see size is becoming more uniform with not so many oversized dogs. Mouths & tails were better than they have been but feel front movement needs watching, as does the loose pelt. I was able to span most exhibits. Thank you to the exhibitors who gave me the privilege to go over their dogs and accepting my decisions on the day in a sporting manner.
A difficult class to judge as all at different ages and stages of their senior years. Lovely to see them all show with enthusiasm. . I still like to see a racy body though and that was what I looked for.
7 ½ year old very smart d, still looking in his prime but much younger than 1, typical head, in super jacket, another good racy body and rib I could span in good hard condition
