First Place in Open - 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.
Strong head, with good mouth, elegant neck leading to well laid shoulder, rib carried well back and correctly turned hindquarters. Movement was perfection, coming, going and across; Coat well presented, of correct, harsh texture; just coming to it’s best. Stood well on his front and covered his ground well. Had no hesitation in awarding him his 2nd CC, and BIS
