First Place in Veteran - 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.
8 years of age and carrying her years very lightly. In prime condition, lovely outline and full of quality. Fills the eye and fits the standard beautifully. Feminine expression, appeals in head shape with correct skull and foreface, head well set on clean neck which flows into her shoulders, good firm top line which she kept as she should on the move, well ribbed back and correct underline. Very sound and covered the ground effortlessly. Could not be denied in the challenge. RCC
