First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mr David G Winsley (Davmar)
I last judged the breed in 2017 so most of the dogs were new to me. I felt that the breed is losing that ‘ otter head’ appearance, fore-faces appearing to be too long. Poor front construction in many was a deciding factor in my placing, our ring didn’t help, but the conditions were the same for everyone.
Litter brother to the winner of MPD & so very similar. He also has a nice shape with a good head & expression. Good neck, level back with the correct tailset. Good body, with well made hindquarters. In good coat & moved well for his age.
