First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mr Euan Castel (Flutorum)
It was an honour to judge the Club’s 50th Championship Show at Bowburn. Many thanks to the Officers and committee for their kind invitation and warm welcome at the show. Thank you to my efficient stewards Graham Richardson and Mark Atkinson for keeping everything on track. Thankfully the show avoided the excessive temperatures of the heatwave and although still hot the hall remained comfortable for both dogs and exhibitors. Sincere thanks to all exhibitors for providing me with a lovely entry, it was a privilege to go over your dogs. I found an equal depth of quality in both dogs and bitches and very pleased with the final line-ups.
Well presented grizzle in first class order. Typical masculine head, dark points, well placed ear. Good reach of neck into well placed shoulders, straight front. Narrow throughout, good length of body and level topline. Racy rear quarters. Good tight harsh jacket on loose pelt. Moved soundly and effortlessly round ring with good ground covering movement. DCC, BIS.
