First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs. A. Heathcote (Saxheath)
My thanks to the Committee for asking me to judge this show , my Stewards Callie and Ian for their invaluable assistance and all the exhibitors for allowing me to judge their dogs . I had some quality dogs to go over with some close decisions in some classes , however , I found front movement in particular was rather disappointing in the lower classes .That aside I thoroughly enjoyed my day .
This lad had a head of correct proportions with a good skull, thick ears and good dentition. His nice reach of neck flowed into a level topline, he had good front and hind angulation and a carrot tail .His plentiful harsh coat, thck pelt and catlike feet completed the picture . He moved around the ring with plenty of drive and looked as if he would be capable of a days work . I was pleased to award him BPIS.
