First Place in Yearling - Bitch, 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.
Shown in full deepest dark grizzle coat, her lovely jacket covered a well laid rib and strong loin. Otter like feminine head and well placed thick carrot tail, her top line may have been better appreciated with less coat but rear angulation allowed her to extend well behind to take the class.
