Second Place in Yearling - Dog, Judge: Mr D E Fryer (Irton)
Thanks to the Club for the opportunity to go over so many quality dogs, and to the exhibitors for bringing them along. I was pleased to find , overall, a better standard of movement than I had expected, particularly in front; likewise coats, in general, were of good quality and quantity. I was, however, disappointed that so many seemed to have small teeth; mostly technically correct with only a couple with missing teeth. One male was not entire.
Unlucky to meet 1 in such good form, and had trouble settling on the table and on the move. A little short of coat on the day. Soundly built throughout, and moved OK once he settled.
