First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mr A Horner (Stineval)
May I take the opportunity to thank the Club and its members for inviting me to judge at this show, and for the super warm hospitality I received. Special thanks to my ring stewards Carolyn Richardson and Julie North, for being efficient and keeping me on track.
I found no bad mouths and as always in our breed, coats at various stages. Lots of spannable dogs and bitches which I like.
I would like to say a huge thank you to the exhibitors for giving me the opportunity to go over their dogs, this was a real honour and I thoroughly enjoyed my day.
(G/t) Typical head and expression. dark eye, neat ears, good strong teeth. Nicely balanced with flowing lines. Handy size. Well ribbed back. Liked his length of leg and neat tight feet. Not a lot of coat but good thick pliable pelt. Correct shoulders and hind quarters. Covers the ground well on the move.
