First Place in Yearling - Bitch, 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.
Very nice blue/tan of perfect size for me, with narrow front and body which was well balanced. Excellent double coat and thick pelt covered a level topline and well set tail. Lovely straight forelegs, feet could be tighter but they’re deep with thick pads, don’t think the floor surface helped! Moved well and pushed very hard in the challenge, a little more maturity and finish in head should see her with a title.
