First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mr N Straw
I would like to thank Bournemouth Canine Association for the invitation to judge at their Annual Championship Show, my steward’s who keeping things running smoothly in the ‘office’ and to the exhibitor’s for a lovely entry. Temperaments as always in this breed were excellent. Size varied in both sexes with the bitches having the overall edge on the day. Heads were more uniformed than when I last judged, some were shown without the required ‘double’ coat and several were un-spannable, there were a few in-correct bites and front movement is still an issue, but the area that concerned me most was dirty teeth not just rear molars but the canines and incisors in particular some of the youngsters
BCC & BOB this grizzle b took my eye on entering the ring & did not disappoint on the table, lovely otter head, feminine throughout, ideal for size, good run-in & layback, easily spanned, sound quarters used well on the move, well padded feet, super coat & pelt, clean lines, a b certainly fit for purpose, a picture in profile,
