First Place in Open, Judge: Miss Helen Axford
Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge at this friendly, well-run show, to my stewards Jenny and Sandra and to the exhibitors for both entering under me and the sporting way they accepted my decisions. All dogs were entire and all bites were in accordance with what is required by the breed standard, as is usual coats were at various stages. Some of the exhibits could do with rather less dinner.
I first judged this bitch when she was 7 months old and it was a privilege to have the chance to judge her again, then I wrote ‘good head and expression, nice in eye & ear. Well balanced throughout moved confidently around the ring. In good coat & condition’. The same comments still apply and she has matured into a super bitch of the correct size. I was pleased to award her BOB.
