First Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Miss Sally Leslie (Risdene)
Congratulations to the committee on finding a splendid new venue. It is so nice to be able to evaluate exhibits in natural surrounding and this was ideal. I understand some did not care completely for the ground but while some exhibits did not excel on the terrain those that did displayed good conformation and moved accordingly.
Generally: there were some mouth faults present today which affected some results in the context of the classes they were in and the degree of the fault. Fronts came in many shapes and sizes not all straight and narrow unfortunately and I was surprised at the number of large and rather thin, spreading feet. Finally I just want to get off my chest that for me the term racy hindquarters does not carry with it a high tuck up.
The unexpected heat, especially in the earlier classes, was a little overwhelming and I thought both exhibits and exhibitors coped admirably. I loved my line ups and very much appreciated my entry, thank you.
Thanks also to my stewards who in these strange times were really kept at it all day.
Pretty with good head pattern this very promising youngster handles beautifully, light and spannable and looks game. True type, well constructed with everything is in its place and moved so well for a baby. Readily coped with the undulations of the ground which some more mature exhibits found taxing. Unsurprising perhaps with her lovely forehand construction, straight and narrow with good legs and feet, but I also admired how she used her quarters. Just right for her age. BP
