First Place in Puppy, Judge: Tracey Anscombe (Orangebox)
Thank you to the committee for the invitation to judge at the Premier Open Show held in conjunction with the Spring Festival, which is a lovely Agricultural show full of lovely local produce. Thanks also to my steward Michael for keeping the ring all in order. Thank you to all the exhibitors that entered, unfortunately there were a number of absentees due to the Championship show the day before and of course the Royal Wedding or maybe the FA cup final! All dogs were entire and they could all be spanned.
I have judged before as a raw puppy, now almost nine months old and she is maturing well showing the promise she had when I first saw her. Blue and tan in good thick harsh dense jacket with plenty of pelt. Pretty head still developing, small ears and good scissor bite. She moved with confidence around the ring covering the ground well. I will continue to watch her progress with interest.
