First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Peter Armstrong (Atron) & Lesley Armstrong-Rodgers ( Atron/Scottsway )
Sincere thanks go firstly, to the Committee for inviting me to judge at their Show, Secondly to the exhibitors for giving me the opportunity of going over their dogs and last, but not least, to my Steward, Marina Fleming, for her assistance in keeping the ring running smoothly. Judge Peter Armstrong
My thanks must go to the Officers and hard working Committee for the kind invitation to judge at their Open Show. It was a quality entry of bitches, so thank you to all exhibitors for bringing them and for their sporting acceptance of my decisions. I would also like to thank my two stewards for keeping the ring running in an orderly manner. Judge Lesley Armstrong
Superb Blue & Tan dog possessing both quality and balance together. Masculine head of correct proportions and expression, good eye shape and colour, neat ears, strong muzzle and correct bite. Straight front construction with good lay back of shoulder. Correct amount of bone. Well constructed throughout. Good length of rib. Easily spanned. Carroty tail of good size and shape running straight off his topline. Shown in excellent harsh coat and a pliable thick pelt with good ticking density overall. Presented in firm muscular condition. Moved steadily with purpose and drive around the ring in harmony with his handler. Delighted to award him BEST DOG and subsequently with my co-judge BEST OF BREED and subsequently winning TG2.
