First Place in Post Graduate - 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.
Workmanlike feminine bitch. She has a strong head with a correct bite, good muzzle, dark eye, keen expression and well set ears. Straight narrow front with good length of rib – easy to span. She has a good level topline which she retained on the move, nicely muscled quarters and a moderately short tail set and carried correctly. Thick coat with some ticking and good pelt. She strode out well on the move, once or twice a little close in front, however overall very sound movement
