First Place in Puppy, Judge: Mrs C E Sansom (Tarkaswell)
I would like to thank the Leek and District Show Society for inviting me to judge at their traditional agricultural show. Thanks also to my very efficient steward Sharon Bowers and to the exhibitors who gave me such a lovely entry and the honour of going over their dogs. Coats and pelts were generally good, but front movement was variable and I did find some exhibits with incorrect dentition.
7 month old grizzle and tan bitch, who was initially a little over enthusiastic on the move, but settled as the class progressed. She had a dark eye, keen expression and correct bite. Narrow throughout, of moderate length, with a good topline and tail set. She was presented in an excellent harsh double coat with loose thick pelt. Movement a little loose in front at the moment, which should improve with maturity.BP
