Second 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.
Beautiful, ottery headed, light grizzle, with dark expressive eyes, neat ear and short strong muzzle. She was in short tight coat with thick pelt, but carrying far too much condition to work and this cost her today. Straight forelegs with neat feet and medium bone. Level topline and well set thickly rooted tail which she carries well on the move.
