Second Place in Yearling - 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.
Night type of dog but totally out of coat today. Nice masculine head & expression. He has a good depth to his body & well made hindquarters. Moves well both ways.
