Second Place in Limit - 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.
Well made front with good bone and feet. Correct topline and tailset and carriage, well ribbed back and good strong loin.Well made rear and moved well from behind, would have liked her a little tighter in elbow. Another in good coat but not quite the crisp finish in presentation of 1st. A very honest bitch.
