First Place in Graduate - 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.
He used his long reach and drive to win this class holding his top line well on the move. Liked his length of rib but maybe carrying a slight too much condition plus his coat was going over so difficult to consider for higher awards. Overall his head and expression were pleasing and lots to like about this two year old grizzle boy.
