First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Mrs Jayne Alpe
Thanks to the committee for my invitation and for providing two excellent stewards who enabled me to easily get on with my judging. Thank you to the exhibitors for the good quality entry. Overall impression from last time I judged was that movement has improved somewhat but many lacked the drive and ease of movement that is needed in a dog that was bred to follow a horse. I was looking for both this and balance without some of the over exaggerations that I have noticed slowly creeping in to the breed. I was delighted to see my BOB pulled into the cut in the group and my BP with a Group 4.
lovely balanced dog, moved true and sound with good drive and kept his top line on the move, thick pelt and harsh double coat. Correct bite with large teeth, dark eye and correct varminty expression. Pushed hard for top honours. RDCC
