Second Place in Post Graduate - 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.
Not quite the work in head compared to 1st. Moved well both ways keeping a level topline again with correct tailset and carriage. Moderate rear construction. Bone in proportion to rest of her. Well bodied. Coat just on the blow.
