First Place in Open, Judge: Tracey Anscombe (Orangebox)

I apologise for only placing to Reserve in the classes my steward and I went by the catalogue that only listed placing to 4th. My thanks also to the group judge Vanessa Wegmann-Williams.
Grizzle and tan dog. Shown in good coat with thick pelt. Preferred his head over 2. Good bite. He is for me top end size wise but is very balanced and can be spanned. Moved really well in the class but lost his sparkle in the challenge for BOB
