Second Place in Open, Judge: Mrs Jill Stevens (Cobstoneway)
Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge, and for their warm hospitality, and also to my ring steward who kept things running smoothly. Thank you to all of the exhibitors who gave me such a wonderful entry of well turned out, quality dogs, which I felt privileged to go over.
Grizzle and tan bitch of almost 2 years, sporting a superbly tight, harsh new jacket, and showing well for her young handler. Good for size, and another with a super head. Good bite, strong jaw and keen expression. Good topline and well set on carrotty tail. Moved well. Close second to the above.
