Second Place in Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Ms Tina Jones (Otterholme)
Many thanks to the society for the invitation to step in as replacement judge at this well run and friendly show. Special thanks to the exhibitors for accepting my decisions on the day with such sporting grace. Unfortunately the show did clash with a local Breed club open show, but it was still a pleasing entry with only a few absentees. I was pleased to find overall some nice pleasing heads and the majority of exhibits in double coats, although for an earth dog some I felt could benefit with more undercoat. I am always mindful to judge fit for function, and found some exhibits too deep in chest, making spanning somewhat difficult.
not quite the maturity of 1, decent tweedy jacket on this one, with plenty of undercoat to compliment this, alert expression, her head is maturing on the right lines. Quite exuberant on the move at times.
