First Place in Novice - Bitch, 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.
12 month old Grizzle and Tan. Nice strong good sized bitch shown in full coat. Good head, big teeth, dark eye and keen expression. She has a good length of neck which leads into very good shoulders and a nice narrow front. Good length of rib and depth of chest, spanned easily. Good body length with a strong loin and racy quarters. Nice topline with good tailset. She has a good double coat and nice thick pelt. Was more settled in this class than in Junior and moved very much better both coming and going
