First Place in Veteran - Dog or Bitch, 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.
I judged this dog as a puppy and awarded him best of breed then, I still like him today, strong masculine dog, good head strong jaw and well set ears showing expression, good body and tail carriage, moved well both ways, good coat and pelt.
