Second Place in Open - 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.
Grizzle and Tan. Lovely masculine headed dog. Strong jaw and correct dentition, slightly longer muzzle than 1. Nice dark eye and expression, good ear set. He has a good front assembly with well angled shoulders and strong legs. His ribs are carried well back and he is easily spanned, has a strong loin and well angulated and muscled quarters. His tail set and carriage are good and he was in great coat. Moved soundly. On the day I just preferred the head and overall movement of 1. He was a strong challenger for RBD
