First Place in Limit - 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.
Mature dog for age. Plenty of bone. Good otter head. Nice dark eye. Pleasing in shoulder and topline. Straight front, neat feet. Excels in coat and pelt. Moved out well. A nice dog, just lacks sparkle.
