First Place in Maiden - Dog, Judge: Mrs Karen Dean (Tyrian)
I would first like to thank the club for inviting me to judge their open show and thank the exhibitors for a lovely entry. I was very pleased with my major winners and several placings were close decisions. There were a number of exhibits that would benefit from shedding a pound or two and in some classes this could have altered the line-up somewhat. Our breed standard is all about moderation and I hope the exaggerated hind angulation noticed on a couple of occasions today does not become the norm, it makes the back end look weak and foreign in our breed. There were several promising youngsters that I will watch with interest as they mature further in their show careers
10 months old. Nice young dog with good head and bite. Straight front, narrow throughout with decent lay of shoulder and length of ribbing. Nice thick carrot tail. Moved easily and with drive though needs to tighten up a little in front. Best Puppy In Show
