First Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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 .
very sound 8mth b/t . She had a straight front , feminine head with large teeth , a nice lay of shoulder into a level topline which she held on the move ,well ribbed back and good hind angulation . Finished with a hard jacket and thick pelt . BPB and Best Puppy in Breed .
