First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs Julie Guvercin
Thank you to all exhibitors for your entries I had a good cross section of dogs to choose from. Some dogs that I have admired in the past were either not in coat or didn’t move well and others that I’ve not noticed before, were ‘found ‘ on the table. We must all remember judging should be on the day and not on what something has won or not won, beforehand. I’m sure the same dogs could be placed differently on another day under me, some that did or didn’t perform affected their placings accordingly.
Some super puppies coming through, with all four of my puppy class winners looking very promising. They gave me some hair splitting decisions.
Blue/tan lovely sized boy with a very nice head. Another who has really come together and now looks much more the finished article. Has a super outline on the stack with plenty of angulation. Good for rib and has filled his loin. Carries his well set tail ok on the move when he decides to, typical border! Lovely to go over, a touch more coat would have helped his cause today but he is a worthy champion and well deserved his title
