Second Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mr J A Barney (Romaunt)
Many thanks to Richmond in giving me the opportunity to judge a breed that still has some depth in quality to it. Generally, I felt movement needs to be attended to. It’s a breed I’ve always associated with true movement both ways and a number did tend to pin in front. Coat texture was pretty good throughout but some would benefit from slightly neater presentation. I was able to span nearly all exhibits and pelts good. At the moment I would say that bitches are far stronger than the males.
Not quite the head and alertness of 1st. Would benefit from carrying a little less weight across the shoulder. Correct amount of bone and straight front legs. Like a little more rear angulation. Coat was just on the blow.
