First Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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.
Very close decision between 1 and 2 today. 11 month old very attractive grizzle bitch. Lovely outline and narrow all through. Super head with flat skull and short muzzle, with good reach of neck to well angulated front. Good coat with thick pelt, level topline which she held on the move. Moved well to win the class, and then in the challenge to win BPB. Pleased to award her BPIS.
