First Place in Open, Judge: Anna Duxbury (Ridgebow)
I would very much like to thank the officers and committee for offering me this appointment at this lovely agricultural show, and for their hospitality. Thanks also to the efficient and helpful ring steward and most of all to all the exhibitors for allowing me the privilege of going over their dogs. It was a very windy day, which bothered some dogs on the table. Temperaments on the day were excellent, coats were very varied and all male dogs were entire.
Eye-catching 2 year old dog, Best otter head today with great varminty expression. Nice length of neck onto well –laid on shoulders. Good front with neat feet. Good harsh coat and thick pelt covering nice length of rib. Spannable. Good rear angulation with well muscled hindquarters. Moved with enthusiasm and drive, which won him this class and BOB today.
