First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Miss A D Swales
This was a lovely entry, I send my good wishes for a speedy return to the ring to the scheduled judged Miss E D Rumsan. Coats were at all stages & I have to say that there were some which had no evidence of a second coat. Mouths were good except for, unusually, one overshot, Temperaments appeared to be OK, although a few lack confidence & were hesitant. The green carpet helped to show up some wide fronts & movement which did not extend & lacked drive, needed to follow a horse. All my placed dogs spanned comfortably. I was not happy with some exhibitors who were constantly feeding their dogs, even on the table.
Another good class headed by three super bitches, but others could well have been contenders.
my first opportunity to go over this beautiful bitch, what a joy, feminine, well balanced & of excellent construction, flat ribs, well laid back, super set of shoulders, good topline & tailset, well angulated quarters used to advantage to move with drive, excellent hard double coat with think pelt, loved her head & intelligent expression & I could see her working, shown & presented to perfection.
