First Place in Open - 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.
Grizzle and Tan. Lovely feminine head; strong short muzzle, good dentition, correct eye and expression, nice ear set. Good front assembly, nice and narrow, strong legs and tight feet. Good shoulder and well carried back rib with good depth of chest. Easily spanned, she has enough body length with strong loin and nice topline. Racy muscled well angulated quarters with a correct tail set complete the picture. Coat coming through, pelt OK. Moved very soundly coming and going – I’m sure she could go all day! RBB
