First Place in Special Beginners - Dog or 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.
14 month old dog. Grizzle and Tan. Nice headed young dog. Good teeth and nice dark eye. Good length of neck into well angulated shoulders. He lacks a bit of depth in chest however this may change with maturity. Nice straight front legs and good feet. Good rib and loin, easily spannable and narrow right through. Racy hindquarters, he has a nice shaped tail which he carries well on the move. His movement was a little erratic today however he went better in this class than in his previous ones. Nice coat and pelt, well presented.
