First Place in Open - 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 class with a lot to like about all 5, all deserving of a title.
Beautiful headed grizzle dog , handy size and has great type. Lovely expression from his dark eyes, neat ears and strong jaw with correct bite. Medium neck into fairly long body with good topline and underline. In crisp new coat, thick pelt and in super condition, carrying just the right amount of muscle. Looks keen and game for anything on the stand, which he does unaided, lovely to see. Accurate out and back and did enough on the go around to secure his win today, a dog to be proud of. DCC BIS
