First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs Anne Heathcote (Saxheath)
I would like to thank the Society for giving me the opportunity to judge our breed for the first time at their 160th Anniversary show and for their hospitality. I was able to complete the judging in good time thanks to my two excellent Stewards Steph and Alan.
The quality of the entry was pleasing overall but one or two could have benefited from tidying , it is a show and you owe it to your dog to present them well , and I was unable to span a few . However , my main winners were for me the correct size and in some of the classes the decisions were very close.
Thank you for accepting my decisions so gracefully.
This class was lovely to watch moving in profile with every one having reach and drive .
11m gr with a lovely head , dark eye , correct earset and good mouth . He had well laid shoulders and was well ribbed back , good hind angulation , thick pelt and hard jacket. He moved very well. Best Puppy Dog.
