First Place in Post Graduate - Bitch, Judge: Miss Anita Harrison (Iacheslei)
This was my first breed club show appointment and I must thank the exhibitors for their support and the sporting way in which they accepted my decisions. The show was extremely well organised, with a very pleasant atmosphere. I was given a warm welcome and generous hospitality, together with two very efficient ring stewards; Janice Johnson and Liz Barrett, who kept everything running smoothly throughout the day.
There were some good quality dogs, and a few classes where I wish there had been more prizes. Coats were variable which sadly had to affect the placings in some classes. Some exhibits were on the large side and barely spannable, plus a few short ribs and barrel chests. All dogs were entire and all mouths were good barring a couple of missing teeth in the veteran class.
9 month grizzle of lovely size, attractive feminine head with good expression, small ears and dark eyes, narrow, well ribbed body, good top line, tail set and rear angulation, moved beautifully. Good ring presence. Seriously considered for more than Best Puppy In Show. Best Puppy In Show
