Second Place in Open, Judge: Sarah Pateman (Lessien)
A big thank you to the committee for my invite to judge at their show which was run very efficiently, and everyone was so friendly. I was happy with my entry and felt honoured to be able to go over some quality dogs today and the exhibitors entrusting me to do so and taking my decisions on board with grace. Only a couple of absentees but those that were, sent their apologies which I did appreciate, thank you!
Dark grizzle dog, a good stamp of dog, lovely dark eye and otter head, nice to see a dog not so short in muzzle as I feel some are these days, good length of neck into well laid-back shoulders, a little shorter in rib than I prefer, but strong hindquarters and looks like he would be happy in the field working as one should. In good jacket and pelt.
