First Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, 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.
Nice typey puppy who is well balanced. Good straight front with good bone and correct feet. Well ribbed back and strong loin. Good harsh texture to the coat. Correct tail set and carriage on the move, just needed to settle in rear movement.
