Second Place in Veteran - Bitch, Judge: Mrs. K. Wilkinson (Otterkin)
Was not aware until I read the catalogue when doing my critique that this bitch was bred by the same breeder as the first in the class, as was the winner of Yearling dog, so a little shout out to the breeder/s Mr and Mrs Southam here. Much smaller bitch in stature and a little more shorter coupled, but she had a very feminine otter head with lovely dark eyes and correct 1/3rd to 2/3rds ratio of nose to stop and stop to occiput, with ears dropping forward close to the cheek. She comes to hand easily and spans so well. Moving round the ring on small, tight feet, was pleased to award her 2nd in this class.
