Second Place in Yearling - 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.
A different type to 1st. An honest workmanlike bitch. Brisket to the elbow and well ribbed back. Feminine head and Otter expression. Good small v-shaped ear well set. Super harsh coat and in good condition. Did tend to rise over the rear on the move
