First Place in Open, Judge: Mrs Jill Stevens (Cobstoneway)
I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge at this friendly, well run show, and for their hospitality. Also thank you to my two efficient stewards who kept everything running smoothly. Thank you so much to the exhibitors for giving me the privilege of going over their lovely dogs who were all well behaved on the day, all in coat, and all males entire.
Three lovely bitches, all well turned out and a pleasure to go over.
4 year old grizzle and tan bitch, full of breed type and nice for size, who caught my eye as she entered the ring and didn’t disappoint. A good head with short, strong muzzle and correct scissor bite, little stop, dark eye and neat v shaped ears. She has a moderate neck flowing into well placed shoulders, a straight front, just the right amount of bone, and stands on neat, well padded feet. She has adequate length of body, spans well, is ribbed well back, with a strong loin and level topline finished off with a short, carrot shaped tail. Not exaggerated in any way and well turned out in a super thick double coat of harsh texture, she moved steadily and accurately around the ring. BOB & TG4
