First Place in Open, Judge: Mrs V Atkinson (Raedwulf)
Thank you to Newark and District CS for inviting me to judge and to the exhibitors for the opportunity of going over some wonderful dogs and to my ring stewards, Nigel and Sarah, for keeping the ring running smoothly..
Blue and tan bitch, strong head with good bite. Nice reach of neck and good top line with well set carroty tail. Easily spannable and narrow throughout. Correctly angulated shoulder allowing for good extension and movement. Good tuck up with strong loin, racy well muscled rear which powered her effortlessly around the ring. Finished off in harsh coat which ultimately became my deciding factor for best of breed. BOB
