First Place in Open - Bitch, 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.
Excelled in front construction, with lovely feet, a strong head and mouth. Has a nice shoulder, ribs carried well back, good topline and hocks well let down.. Moving particularly well behind, good driving action. Coat in perfect order. Pleasure to award her BCC, though it was a close decision over Junior Bitch.
