First Place in Open, Judge: Debbie Lorraine (Raleniro)
I would like to thank the committee for their invitation to judge at this twin group open show. Thanks also to my two stewards, Karen and Andrea who kept the ring running smoothly. I found all temperaments to be excellent and all male dogs were entire. There were a couple of misplaced teeth but generally all bites were correct .Thank you to the exhibitors for the opportunity to go over their dogs and the sporting manner in which they accepted my decisions.
5 ½ year old grizzle bitch of nice type with strong but feminine otter head with lovely expression. Good scissor bite. Nice for size and spanned with ease. Excellent angulation fore and aft with thick, loose pelt and harsh jacket. Level topline with well set tail. Moved with purpose and drive. Lots to like about this bitch. Unlucky to meet limit winner on the day. RBOB.
