First Place in Limit - 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.
2 years grizzle of lovely size with correct lay of shoulder, good ribs, topline and tail set, decent bone and tight feet on which she moved well, shown in good coat but lacked face furnishings. Could have moved out a little more in the final challenge. Best Bitch and Best Opposite Sex in Show
