Second Place in Junior - Bitch, 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.
A quality class of bitches that could have easily won this class
10 months old puppy bitch with good head with correct bite, flat broad skull dark eye, good reach of neck flowing into good shoulders , really nice body lines on this pup she is narrow throughout with super length of body, shown in harsh double coat with loose pelt, easily spanned, couldn’t match one on movement in the class but when she came back in to compete for puppy bitch she pulled out all the stops, pleased to award her best puppy bitch, when she matures I think she has a bright future.
