First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mrs. Karen Dean (Tyrian)
I would first like to thank the committee for the invitation to judge, and to them and my stewards, Frank Nicholls and Paul Cheeseman for looking after me so well on the day, and lastly to all those who exhibited and accepted my decisions so graciously. It was a long, exhausting but very enjoyable day for me. I absolutely loved my best dog, best bitch and best puppy, they were all lovely and narrow, well balanced with small tight feet, sound movement and not overdone in any way. I would take any of them home in a heartbeat.
Almost 4 years old, super dog with flat skull and short strong muzzle with good bite and nice teeth. Straight front with good bone and tighter feet than some in this class. Well laid back shoulders flowing into level topline. Harsh double coat with thick loose pelt and super thick carroty tail well set on. Good hind angulation, moved freely and with drive. Spannable but preferred the narrowness of the open dogs in the final line-up.
