Second Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs. K. Wilkinson (Otterkin)
Another very difficult class, with so many stars right down the line. Such a privilege to judge so many good dogs.
Really loved this blue and tan dog, who has just the right amount of bone. Such a lovely head with a good dark eye and a short, strong muzzle. Perhaps a little more length of neck would complete the picture, but his excellent jacket and thick pelt are of the best. Lovely thick, short carrot shaped tail.
