First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs Laura Illingworth (Thorneyhurst)
Thanks to all the exhibitors for bringing such a quality entry, my two stewards for keeping things running smoothly and the rain for holding off till the near the end. I found the dogs in general to be fit with only a few exhibits Under weight I had some close decisions in quite a few classes especially the early bitch classes Mouths on the whole were correct with many having large clean teeth, coats were good and many had good thick loose pelts, movement was varied, temperaments were excellent and most were unperturbed by the noise from our adjoining ring
Beautifully balanced dog, loved his head and eye, nice bite with big teeth and strong under jaw, level topline and well set tail, super shoulders and rib, harsh jacket with loose pelt covers the ground effortlessly , showing on his toes enjoying the day and handled to perfection Dog CC and BOB
