First Place in Limit - 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 .
This was a class full of quality with some close decisions
A lovely headed gr dog with a good reach of neck into well laid shoulders , ribs carried well back , good front and rear angulation finished off with a tight harsh jacket . He moved soundly coming and going and in profile . I was pleased to award him the RCC .
