Second Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mr Dave Matthews (Tojamatt)
Really pleased to be invited to judge the midland open show, so my thanks to the committee for inviting me and for the hospitality received. Many thanks to Margaret Bailey and Paul Brannan for stewarding and making things run smoothly and keeping me on track. Also my thanks to the competitors for taking my decisions so well and for bringing real quality to the show ring it was hugely appreciated, whether you were first or third there were some close decisions and exceptional quality.
Blue and tan dog in harsh coat, moved well both ways, narrow throughout with straight front and good condition with nice rear angulation,easily spanned presented in good hard condition preferred head of winner.
