First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mr Colin Girling (Benattivo)
Thank you to the committee of the Richmond show for granting my first appointment to award CC’s, I was well looked after on the day and had great support from my stewards which was very much appreciated. It was a real privilege to judge some wonderful examples of the breed and the future looks bright as there were so many wonderful puppies and juniors. I really appreciated all my entries and rewarded those in the best condition on the day, I also acknowledge that many had good breed type and quality even amongst those not in the challenge and some that were not placed in the stronger classes.
A great start to my day to see this young dog shown in super jacket with thick pelt beneath and ticking so many boxes in terms of his body lines and reach of neck plus well placed carrot tail. No exaggerations and moved true both ways, so pleased to award him best puppy later and watch him achieve a well-deserved 4th place in the group.
