First Place in Open - Bitch, 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
Such a quality blue and tan bitch. Excels in breed type and shown today in the harshest of coats with lots of ticking and the most pliable of pelts. Owns the most beautiful head and expression with a keen dark eye, correct bite and big teeth, a strong short muzzle and neat ears. She has a good length of neck flowing into well placed shoulders. Narrow throughout and easily spanned. Ribs carried well back, excellent topline to a neat short carrot like tail. Well muscled hindquarters which she used to advantage. Moved with such enthusiasm from strong rear hindquarters whilst maintaining her topline. I was very pleased to award her BEST BITCH.
