First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mr Bob Blackley (Vaevictus)
It was an honour and pleasure to Judge at this great club show, I would like to thank the officers and committee for inviting me, also a big thank you to all the exhibitors, my entry was fantastic full of quality, I’m sorry but some really good dogs were not in the top honours today. I thought the bitches in general were of better quality than the dogs which is good for the breed, and in the dogs, I also noticed some exhibits were lacking coat, a sign of Crufts approaching, but in general they were good.
Excellent fit dog with a good head, ears and expression, excellent construction, well balanced, spannable, moved well both ways with good reach and drive holding a good topline and tailset, didn’t put a foot wrong, good coat and pelt.
