First Place in Open - Bitch, 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.
from the moment this bitch bounced into the class, I knew she would be a hard act to follow. She was certainly game and active and caught my eye early on. Dark grizzle , deep double jacket on a thick pelt, presented to the minute and as fit as a flea, what more could I ask for. Lovely ottery head with really good muzzle, eye and skull shape. Superb front, straight, narrow and well boned with super feet. Deep narrow body with enough length and good strength in her loin with perfect hind quarters, which she used to her advantage on the move. Would follow a horse all day and get to ground with her easy span body. Beat the lovely dog CC being more mature and obviously more finished. CC,BOB & TG3
