Second 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
Super Blue & Tan dog. Possesses a good otter head, correct foreface, appealing dark eye. Straight narrow front, with a strong neck flowing into laid back shoulders. Well ribbed up body. Narrow throughout. Easily spanned. Good angulation both front and rear. Presented in thick coat with a good supple pelt. Sound muscular hind quarters used to advantage to stride out well with accuracy and determination. One I have done well for before but today just could not match the exhuberance and ring presence of the winner.
