Second Place in Junior - 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.
14 month Grizzle and Tan. Slightly smaller set than 1. Beautiful strong masculine head with lovely dark eye and keen expression, great proportions and strong jaw with super teeth and bite. Very good front assembly, easily spanned and good length of rib. Shorter coupled than 1, well muscled, but racy, hindquarters and lovely set and length of tail. Good double coat and thick pelt. He moved soundly enough however today I just preferred the freedom of movement of 1.
