First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Karen S Stockley (Foxfactor)
My grateful thanks go to the ScBTC for the opportunity to judge their Open Show, the lovely gift and the excellent lunch. It’s always an honour and privilege to judge at Club Shows. Thanks also to my stewards Jim Stewart and Helen Mc Kenzie.
I had some very nice exhibits to go over with some tough decisions to make.I was pleased to find that the vast majority were in fit condition, I found 3 with incorrect dentition and just one kinked tail. I thank the exhibitors for the entry and for gracefully accepting my placings.
Unfortunately ResBPIS was not awarded as I was informed there wasn’t an award so my apologies to the Puppy Bitch winner
4yo gr,stood out as he went around, lovely unexaggerated dog with a great attitude, liked his overall size, correct bite with strength of muzzle, moderate broad skull, one with a good reach of neck without being overdone, spans easily, enough length of rib over which is a good texture coat and pliable pelt, nicely angulated fore and aft, he uses himself well to move soundly and true, pleased to see him still showing well in the challenge to secure BD and couldn’t deny him the top award of BIS.
