First Place in Open - 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.
All together a very nice type who takes your eye straight away. Very pleasing head, good reach of neck that’s fits into her well made shoulders. Good front, well made body, good ribs & a level back. Well muscled hindquarters, correct tailset. Good amount of bone & good feet. In a short coat but good texture, ultra sound fluent mover, confident showgirl. CC/BOS
