First Place in Junior - Bitch, 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 bitch very alert and narrow throughout, with a feminine head and nice shoulders that would get her anywhere good topline and tailset, good coat she moved with drive and didn’t miss a trick always on the lookout, she may have tired in the final line up and lost her sparkle a little.
