Second Place in Graduate, Judge: Mrs N Anderson
Many thanks to the club for the invite to judge at their 90th Anniversary show, it was a lovely well run show. Also thanks to my capable steward, Judy Carr who kept things running smoothly throughout. Thanks to all the exhibitors who entered on the day and accepted my decisions in a sporting way. All males were entire, no bad mouths or kinked tails. There was quite a variety in type on the day. The biggest issue was movement with many dogs swinging in front or pinning and lacking the drive from behind to follow a horse. I like my dogs in hard, fit condition and found many lacking in this area with little muscle tone. However I found some quality dogs and was delighted to see my BOB go TG1.
11 month old male who was 3rd in Junior. A fun lively character who was full of confidence and enjoying his day. A compact type who was well off for bone and nicely angulated. He had a strong head and muzzle with little stop. Shown in harsh double coat with a super loose thick pelt, just spanable. Moved well. Best Puppy in Breed.
