First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Mr Stewart Golding (Beaconpike)
Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge, this was my first time awarding CC’s. Thank you to my stewards for keeping the ring running smoothly. A big thank you must go to the exhibitors for a good entry especially on a Thursday in the middle of Wales in the current climate we live in. I only have a couple of concerns. Movement is paramount in our breed and these dogs should be able to cover ground easily I found due to poor shoulder angulation a few had restrained front movement. I did forgive coat in class placings where evidence of a new coat was present, however I did find a lot of single coated dogs possibly down to over grooming, my main winners all had correct double coat of depth. I had a very enjoyable day, thank you to everyone for accepting my decisions gracefully.
Super headed dog with short strong muzzle and cracking expression with good bite, good reach of neck, well laid back shoulders with narrow front, level top line with good tail set, good hind quarters which showed in his movement around the ring which was outstanding for one so young pleased to award him the RDCC and Best Puppy in Breed.
