Second Place in Open, Judge: Mrs V Atkinson (Raedwulf)
I so much enjoyed my day judging the inaugural Open Show. Thank you to Mrs Pat Dufty and the Committee for inviting me to judge, it was an honour. I was assisted expertly by the wonderful Avis and Preston Haffenden to whom I am very grateful. Thank you most of all to my Exhibitors who allowed me the privilege of going over their dogs and for the sporting manner in which my decisions were taken.
A lovely lighter grizzle dog similar to one and another that could easily do a days work. Good head with correct bite. Level top line and good length of body. Spannable and in good coat. This dog has slightly more bone than my winner but has plenty of merits with good rear angulation affording him nice movement and drive. I just preferred the overall size of my winner.
