Second Place in Yearling - Dog, Judge: Mrs J Guvercin (Glebeheath)
Thank you to the committee for this appointment, everyone worked hard to make it an enjoyable day. This venue always has a super atmosphere, however, the ring is too small really to see outlines, being far too near the dogs and side profile movement is very difficult to see, let alone for the dogs to perform really well. Many moved poorly, not liking the smooth mats and although I had to judge them on this today, I think most would move much better outside in a big grass ring.
strong headed grizzle with powerful jaw, well set , slightly heavy ear, set on a strong neck and good front. Lovely coat and pelt covers a good sized body, scannable rib and strong rear. A little sloping at the croup affected his tailset. Moved ok.
