Second Place in Graduate, Judge: Mrs Lesley Gosling (Akinside)
My thanks to the Society for its warm welcome and to exhibitors, as well as my friendly steward, who kept proceedings moving along.
Border coats varied considerably, bearing in mind that exhibitors want coats to be tiptop for Crufts. I didn’t penalise for lack of coat if texture was correct and evidence of top coat present. Fronts continue to be an issue, with some exhibits wide or toeing-in at the front.
11mth old; short of coat but good size & easy to span. Eyes dark but rather ‘full’ and would benefit from some fill beneath. Front needs to improve. Good tail and tailset. BP & TGP3.
