Second Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mrs Nancy Hogg
My thanks go to the exhibitors who showed their dogs under me. I was very pleased with my entry, both numerically and depth of quality of the exhibits. The ring was large, even and the grass cut very short. I had two very able stewards and the predicted rain stayed away. What more could I ask for ?.
On the whole the presentation was good although some dogs lacked condition. Temperaments were good. Coats were variable. I found one kinked tail, one wrong mouth but more than a few small teeth.
A mixed class.
Up to size. Workmanlike dog in full coat of good texture. Pleasing head. Narrow all through. Not quite the topline or tailset of 1.
