First Place in Puppy, Judge: Miss G Lowe (Rockslade)
I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge at their show for my first judging appointment. The show was well run, friendly and I received a warm welcome upon arrival. I would also like to thank all those who entered under me especially in the current climate with travelling costs.. A big thank you to my very capable steward Richard Wright for ensuring that the ring ran well.
I was pleased with my entry and there were some quality exbibits in attendance. I did find a number of exhibits to be short on undercoat and one untidy mouth. Some long nails and dirty teeth which need addressing.
9 month old Grizzle bitch puppy with lots to like. Otter head, scissor bite with a dark eye and pleasing expression, still some maturing to go but to be expected at this age. Good length of neck flowing onto a level topline, carrot tail with good tail set. Ribbed well back, easily spanned and narrow throughout. Lacking coat today but her merits were too good to be overlooked. Straight front with excellent front and rear angulation. Moved well once settled. Promising puppy, will follow her progress.
