First Place in Post Graduate - 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.
Blue and Tan. A lovely workmanlike dog. Strong masculine head with dark eye, short strong muzzle and a keen expression. Big teeth in a strong jaw finish the picture. He has a nice straight front into strong legs and good feet. Narrow throughout he is easily spannable and has good length of rib. Good angulation both front and rear gives him sound well balanced movement. Nice coat and a thick pelt
