Second Place in Junior, Judge: Mrs Sandra Girling (Benattivo)
I would like to thank the show committee for offering me this appointment and I was very grateful to both my ring stewards for their help on the day.
This was a lovely show to come back too after such a long time away from the show ring. The weather today got very warm in the ring for some exhibits. I would like to have seen a couple of exhibits which were without coat on another day as I feel this is an important aspect when I judge the breed. All dentition was correct and was shown by the handler, all males had two testicles.
The level of quality throughout the entry was in my opinion outstanding. Which in some classes having only one first prize was not enough! Many of the exhibits today I believe will have bright futures ahead of them.
Litter mate to the class winner. Plenty to like about this masculine dog of quality he’s a nice size dog with plenty of good breed points. He was also in a very good double jacket of depth. He has a good shoulder and is nicely angulated behind which enables him to move accurately and straight. I think the heat may have got to him a little on the final move so was pipped by his sister who headed the class today.
