First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mr Euan Castel (Flutorum)
My thanks to the committee for their kind invitation to judge at this my local Championship Show. Special thanks to my excellent steward Ben Joiner for keeping everything in order. Thank you to all exhibitors for providing me with a lovely entry to go over. I found a depth of quality in each class with some close decisions to make. Very pleased that my Best of Breed, Best Puppy and Best Veteran went on to do well in their respective groups – well done.
Beautifully presented grizzle who is ideal for size and balance, he has a lovely otter like head with nice eye and ear giving a nice border expression. Good shoulder placement, straight front and well placed rib being easily spanned. Harsh double jacket, carroty tail well set on. Well angulated rear, has the soundest of movement. Pleased to award the Dog CC which I later learned was his 3rd – well done.
