First Place in Open - 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.
grizzle, smaller package all round but has all the essentials and would get anywhere. Feminine head, a fraction longer in muzzle than my ideal but it’s strong with good bite. Skull is ottery with neat well set ear and dark eye. Medium neck into a very easily spanned body with best of coats that was well prepared covering a thick pelt. Lovely topline and short carroty tail which she uses well on the move, such a showgirl who will always catch the eye and was pushing all the way today.
