Second Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, 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.
Blue/tan with a rangey outline. Pleasing sort of head, but needs time to finish. Good in front, nice depth to her body & well made behind. Nice quality coat & moved nicely.
