First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Libby Tanton-Joy (Itsaso)
I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to Judge their Open show, and all exhibitors that entered. I had a lovely entry with some quality dogs to go over. All placing’s were accepted with grace. Many thanks to both my stewards who kept the ring moving. The show had a lovely atmosphere and I enjoyed my day
6 year old Blue and Tan dog presented in a thick correct jacket, good pelt and in fit condition. He caught my eye when he came into the ring free standing. He has a lovely otter type head with strong muzzle housing a correct bite and big teeth. Dark eye with a keen expression. Neck flowed into well laid back ribs and strong loin. Narrow throughout he was easily spanned. Well place shoulder and good rear angulation meant he moved round the ring with ease. Balance throughout I was pleased to award him Reserve Best Dog
