First Place in Post Graduate - 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.
A lovely sized grizzle in good order. Masculine head with dark, expressive eye and neat ear. Medium neck, straight forelegs and spannable, fit body. A fraction wider coming on than 2 but coped better with the surface and gave a better account of himself side profile. Level topline and carrot tail completed the picture.
