Second Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Debbie Lorraine (Raleniro)
I would like to thank the society for inviting me to judge at this group open show, and for the wonderful hospitality shown to me by the hard working committee. I would also like to thank the exhibitors for giving me the opportunity to go over their dogs and the sporting way in which they accepted my decisions. I was delighted with my entry, and had some lovely examples of the breed to judge. Thank you also to my very able steward Gill, who kept things running smoothly. All males were entire, temperaments were excellent, all exhibits were in fit condition and I was pleased to see so many exhibits with large teeth!
