First Place in Yearling - Bitch, Judge: Mr Julien Barney (Romaunt)
A big thank you to the committee for giving me the opportunity to judge at this well run show. A super sporting atmosphere around the ring on a very pleasant sunny autumn afternoon.
My general comments would be about heads and the lack of that typical Otter look with a good skull and a powerful muzzle required to do their job. Front movement in some wasn’t good being tied in front and I wonder how well they would be able to follow a horse for a good days hunting. Plus size seemed to be an issue with some being well up to the limit.
Smart bitch with some presence. Good straight front and good feet. Depth of brisket correct. In good harsh close coat. Pleasing head and expression. Moved out well, but did like her tail a little too much at times.
