First Place in Open - 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.
Liked her attitude and alertness. Pleasing and typey head and expression. Racy all through. Well ribbed and correct depth of brisket, good racy hindquarters and moved with some flare and purpose. Correct tail set and carriage. In super coat and condition.
