Second 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.
Another Blue and Tan bitch a bit stronger than the winner but not overdone in any way. Very workmanlike, good for bone but not overdone she has a good head and expression, a harsh coat and thick loose pelt, she was easily spanned and moved well both ways.
