First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs Diane Rayner (Stoneygin)

Show Critique:

I would first of all like to thank the society for inviting me to judge this show.
I would also like to thank Bob my steward for a sterling job.
I am sorry to bring this up again but I was most disappointed yet again to find a few exhibits that were far too thin. This determined placings as they are not fit for purpose.
Coats were at various stages as normally is the case, I had a few unspannable, but most were in a good fit condition.
I was pleased with my entry and enjoyed going over some lovely exhibits, most were a credit to you.

Placing Critique:

What a cracking dog,strong otter head with huge teeth, lovely lay of shoulder flowing into a level topline and tailset. Good length of rib. Easily spanned. Harsh jacket and loose pelt. One of the best movers I have ever seen. Pleased to Award him his first C.C
