First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mr. Frank Nicholls (Halcus)
My thanks go to the exhibitors who provided an excellent entry in spite of the appalling weather conditions in many parts of the country recently, and the almost inevitable problems to be expected on the M6 motorway. Good quality dogs were present in most classes and I was pleased with both line ups for the CC?s. Coats were generally pretty good with just a few taken out for that ?other show?, and one or two soft coats. I found movement again a problem with a good percentage knitting or pinning at the front, and a lack of drive from the rear. The open dog and junior bitch classes were of the highest quality and some excellent exhibits went away cardless.
Thought highly of her last time I judged but her head needed to mature. She has now developed into an excellent bitch and her head is much improved. Super coat & pelt, a lovely size and well constructed with good front and shoulders, properly shaped rib cage, nicely angulated at the back. Among the best movers on the day. Close thing in the final line up.
