Second Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Anne Speake
I would like to thank the officers and committee for their invitation to judge at the show. The hospitality received was much appreciated, and the day was one I really enjoyed. It was lovely to see such a good entry for the show as a whole, my thanks to my two capable stewards, who kept things moving along nicely. Thanks also to the exhibitors who did me the honour and privilege of going over their dogs and accepting my decisions in a sporting manner. All exhibits were of good quality and fit for purpose. As to be expected at this time of year, coats were at various stages. I was delighted with my entry.
5 yr old grizzle and tan with a good head and keen expression and nice large teeth. With a nice straight front, ribs well back and easily spanned. Good angulations and bend of stifle, moved ok once settled, in good coat with a loose pelt.
