First Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Trudi Baird (Dowgri)
I was delighted to accept the invitation to judge at the May show postponed to October.
Under Scottish government rules it meant those of us inside had to wear masks & I thank the majority of exhibitors for complying with this legislation.
Thank you to my lone steward who was able to keep the classes coming in and ready for me, it wasn’t an easy task with our neighbouring ring hosting the breeds October show but thankfully we didn’t get too many clashes.
I always feel immensely privileged to be able to judge your dogs and I hope exhibitors felt that I gave each of you ample time to set up your dogs on the table to show them at their best.
The entry was varied and I felt my top winners were outstanding. As always coats were presented at various stages and bites were generally very good. A number with long flat & untidy feet and a few dogs I just couldn’t span even with my large hands!
Quality youngster who is a very nice type , excellent size presented in good coat of harsh texture .Such an appealing head & expression with neat ear . Excellent forehand with just the right amount of bone .Well ribbed back and easy to span .very sound on the move .
