First Place in Limit - 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.
Red bitch shown in full coat just past its best. Lovely head and good expression with big teeth and correct bite with short strong muzzle. Spannable with level topline and tailset and thick loose pelt. Moved well both way, hoped for more in the line up but didn’t look as narrow as winners in comparison.
