Second Place in Post Graduate, Judge: Anne Speake
I’d like to extend my thanks to the society for their invitation to judge, to my efficient steward Christine, who ensured things ran smoothly. To the exhibitors, it was a privilege to judge your dogs. Temperaments were excellent; all dogs were entire; and mouths were good. However, coats varied, and some dogs paid the price.
Four year old red grizzle bitch with a lovely feminine head and alert expression, with a nice width of muzzle. Well balanced, narrow throughout, with ribs well back, easily spanned, good set on tail. She was well muscled and moved well. In good jacket with a thick pelt. This was a close decision between first and second.
