First Place in Post Graduate, Judge: Miss Helen Axford
I would like to thank Marlborough and District Canine Society for inviting me to judge at their 70th anniversary show, also thanks to my two efficient stewards. I was pleased with the entry of 19 for my first appointment, there were 14 dogs present on the day. I thoroughly enjoyed going over some lovely dogs, all males were entire, there was one untidy mouth but this belonged a dog of advancing years. Many thanks to the exhibitors for entering under me and the sporting way my decisions were received, I was delighted with my two main winners and thrilled to see them both do so well in their respective groups under a breed specialist.
A nice sized 19 month old dog, who excelled in head with a good broad skull and short strong muzzle, good bite. Moved well fore and aft on neat feet, keeping a level topline. A sound dog who is not overdone in anyway. He was not in the best of jackets today but could not be denied BOB, I was pleased to see him go on to win TG2.
