First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs Anne Heathcote (Saxheath)
I would like to thank you all for allowing me to go over your dogs and also our Stewards John and Marvin for keeping everything running smoothly enabling me to finish in good time .
I have to say that I found movement in a number of classes worrying . Although most dogs looked ok in profile when viewed from the front and rear there were too many moving closely and a few flicking wrists . This was reflected in my placings with the soundest being placed highest .
Mouths were good with just one level bite but there were both dogs and bitches which I could not span . Coats were , on the whole , pretty good .
Racy 8m b/t .His head needs to come but he has time , he has a lovely straight narrow front, good reach of neck flowing into a level topline .good tailset and carriage and bend of stifle . Moved with reach and drive .
