First Place in Novice - 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.
Reserve in junior bitch. Elegant rangy bitch, good head and expression, nice reach of neck, straight front, but a little low on front pasterns. Easily spanned being narrow all through. Lovely rib and rear angulation. Moved very well but not a lot of topcoat today which cost her higher placings.
