First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mr A Horner (Stineval)
May I take this opportunity to give my sincere thanks to the officers and committee of The Blackpool Dog Show Society for their hospitality and also for giving me this privileged appointment. This being my first appointment to award CC’s I would like to thank all the exhibitors for supporting me and accepting my decisions so sportingly. I found a couple of mouths with teeth out of line and considering the quality of some of the exhibits they had to pay the penalty. I also found a couple of kinked tails which really surprised me. Thanks go to my able stewards for keeping things moving; allowing the BOB to be ready for the group which he was placed G4.
I really like this dog, not over done in anyway, lovely expression, broad skull, small neat ears, dark almond shaped eyes, showing no exaggerated stop between nose and skull. Strong under jaw and correct dentition, straight front, level top line, narrow right through and easily spanned, enough bone and neat tight feet on thick firm pads and moved well. DCC giving him his title (subject to KC approval) BOB and G4.
