First Place in Maiden - 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.
Unplaced in a strong junior class and stood alone in this one, this bitch was of a nice size, and had a very good coat and pelt. Good head and pleasing expression with nice ears. Very good neat feet. Slightly out at the elbows meant that she moved better behind than in front, but nice profile and lots of good qualities on show.
