Second Place in 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.
Would have liked a little more work in her head piece compared to 1st. Nice make and shape and full of type. Correct topline and tail carriage on the move. Well ribbed back. Well boned. Could have been a little happier on the move today
