Second Place in Puppy, Judge: Mrs C E Sansom (Tarkaswell)
I would like to thank the secretary and committee of Leicester City Canine Society for the invitation to judge at their open show. My stewards Clare Robinson – Cox and Kaine Davis were very efficient and kept the ring running smoothly.Thank you to the exhibitors for giving me a lovely entry and for accepting my decisions in a sporting manner.
My interpretation of the breed standard was always foremost in my mind. The puppy class particularly gave me difficult decisions, with some quality youngsters who could change places in the future. I will watch the development of them all with interest.
This feminine bitch, at just 6 months of age, showed with confidence and presence. Full of quality, she had a beautiful head with a dark eye and small, neat ear. Her lovely reach of neck flowed into a level top line with a well set tail that was carried gaily. Narrow and balanced in her construction, her correct angulation enabled her to move with purpose and drive. Well presented in a harsh, dense coat.
