First Place in Post Graduate - 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.
Nice for size, he has a pleasing head & expression. Good in reach of neck, good depth of body, nice turn of stifle. Correct tailset & clean outline. Won this class on coat & movement, he’s a confident showman
