First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mrs E Cuthbertson (Ashbrae)
My thanks to the Committee for my appointment. To my ring stewards K Green & A. Harris, and to the exhibitors for the nice entry of 200 exhibits. I was sorry Gordon and Cynthia Knight could not be present due to family illness.
I did find a lot of variation between type, and size making judging very interesting. Some heads lacked strength of muzzle and heavy shoulders were very the much in evidence. I was concerned that a number were overweight and heavy, not as fit as they should be.
Saying that I was very pleased with my placings, class and top award winners.
eye catching quality, typical light red dog. Lovely type head with dark ears and muzzle. Excels in neck, shoulder and rib giving a lovely body line. Good topline. In good double coat and lovely condition. He moved and showed very well. Pleased to award him CC & BIS.
