Second Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs J Carr (Wreighaugh)
My thanks go to the Committee of the NBTC for their invitation to judge their Open Show. I was honoured to receive this appointment and am incredibly grateful to the exhibitors who gave me such a great entry. It was a most enjoyable day and special thanks go to my Stewards, Andrea Pitt and Mark Atkinson, for keeping me on track and helping the ring to run smoothly.
11month old grizzle and tan. Another really nice puppy. A little smaller than 1st he has a good masculine head with lovely strong muzzle, nice dark eye and correct ear set. Nice straight front with good shoulders, easily spannable and good length of rib. Slightly shorter coupled than 1 he has a good topline and tailset. Lovely double coat and pliable pelt . His movement was slightly loose in front and today I just preferred the fluency of 1.
