First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mr W Shorthose (Cundytyke)
It was, again, a pleasure to judge the breed. I thought that there was a lack of depth in quality in some classes though those which were placed were more representative of the Breed Standard. A few entries lacked true breed type and one almost questioned what other breed was involved in their lineage. The most recurring fault was in front movement which was a testament to some loaded shoulders.
He has the thickest of pelts and a very good harsh coat. A true otter head is set on a neck with good reach. Good tight thick pads to his feet and well muscled quarters. He moved very well and deserved his C.C. and B.O.B.
