First Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Jane Roberts (Smalesmouth)
My first appointment at this level and I would like to thank the officers and committee of WELKS for the invitation. Grateful thanks to my stewards who kept everything moving so efficiently and thanks to all the exhibitors who gave me the privilege of going over their dogs. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and fully appreciated the opportunity to judge some high quality exhibits. Some decisions were difficult and places could change on another day.
On a positive note temperaments were good, as were mouths and feet. On the down side I felt that there were not enough exhibits that moved with drive and there were several with wide fronts – these are faults that would impact on the dog’s ability to work.
A strong class.
Very smart blue and tan rising 15 mnths. Beautifully presented. Lovely to go over. Feminine head with strong muzzle and big teeth. Narrow front. Good bone and well padded feet. Ribs well laid back, strong loin and well angulated hind quarters. Very good top line and tail set. Loved her overall shape and balance. Moved very well in profile and coming and going. Quality double coat with thick pliable pelt. RBCC
