Second 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.
9 month old red dog, full of presence, with a strong, masculine head, dark eye and keen expression. Body of moderate length, with ribs carried well back. Good topline and tail set, but I preferred the tail carriage of 1. Coat rather soft, although pelt was thick and loose. Moved out with purpose although action a little loose at the moment.
