Second Place in Novice - Dog, Judge: Anna Duxbury (Ridgebow)
I would very much like to thank the officers and committee for offering me my first club show in this lovely light, large hall. The hospitality was wonderful! Thanks also to the efficient ring stewards and most of all to all the exhibitors for their wonderful entry and allowing me the privilege of going over their dogs. Sincere thanks for the sporting manner in which my decisions were accepted. Temperaments on the day were excellent, coats were very varied – some good dogs were penalised for not having double coat. No mouths were undershot and all male dogs were entire.
Red grizzle dog with a good head and strong muzzle, nice straight front legs onto good feet. Slightly rounder in rib than preferable. Good topline and tailset, slightly straight in stifle and tail a little thin. Good coat and pelt.
