First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mrs. Liz Wright (Totherend)
My thanks to Driffield Championship Dog Show Society for the invitation to judge today and thanks to my stewards Peter and Lesley Armstrong, who kept the ring running smoothly. Thanks also to the exhibitors for allowing me to go over their dogs. Front movement in the breed still needs some improvement, but overall I had lots of quality exhibits. Bites were good and only one kinked tail.
Quality blue and tan with the best of coats and pelt, nice size and came to hand well, good head and construction, moved with ease and speed, happy showgirl who pushed hard for a place in the challenge.
