First Place in Yearling - 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.
Nice for size & looking quite finished. Nice in head, good reach of neck & straight front. Good depth of body, nicely ribbed back. Nice turn of stifle, short in hock, good tailset. In nice coat & condition, moved & showed well.
