Second Place in Graduate - 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 with lovely outline with good head and expression, correctly placed ears, good bite and teeth. Harsh coat and thick pelt she was easily spanned and moved well with nice rear angulation and narrow with straight front, just lost out on the day to alertness of winner.
