First Place in Open, Judge: Mrs Sue Baxter (Mysulan)
First of all , sincere thanks go to Hilary and the committee for the
kind invitation to judge BT’s at this show and thanks to Kevin my
steward who kept things moving along nicely. Also I have grateful
thanks for the exhibitors who not only allowed me the opportunity
to go over their dogs but accepted my decisions in a sporting
manner.
General comments are as follows , I didn’t find any bad mouths
or kinked tails and coats were at differing stages of growth which
is quite normal . I would like to add that during examination of the
dogs on the table that it is not helpful for the owner to be feeding
or allowing the dog to lick at a treat constantly , attempting to
check the bite becomes almost impossible and adds to the
confusion for the dog, owner and judge, please keep this practice
for the training room and not in the show ring.
15 month old G&T bitch , sweet “lady like” head of correct proportions and
with lovely dark eyes and expression. Muzzle strong with good
underjaw power house and teeth to do the job required. Ears of a
nice size and correctly positioned. Neck of moderate length and
narrow throughout front and shoulder assembly ….Easily
spanned …ribbed well back and a strong loin to add to the
picture. Beautiful jacket and plenty of pelt to get a hold of.
Maintained her topline whilst stacked and on the move , in fit
condition , could see her ready to do a days work .. Movement was good in profile and particularly on the out and back …
pleased to award her B.O.B
