First Place in Post Graduate, Judge: Gentle Lowe (Rockslade)
Firstly I would like to thank the show and its organisers for the warm welcome and my stewards for their smooth running of the ring during my appointment. I would also like to thank the competitors for giving me the chance to go over their dogs. I had a quality entry of dogs and there were some tough decisions in the classes.
I would just like to point out some exhibits had dirty teeth, some longer untrimmed nails which whilst I didn’t penalise would give a nicer shape and finish to the feet and overall presentation. Overall dogs were presented in good condition.
Pleasing headed dog with a typical otter head, broad skull with a keen expression and a dark eye. Good bite with large teeth. Good shoulder angulation on a narrow straight front, liked him for bone. Spannable with a nice length of rib, pliable, thick with a good topline and tail set. He won the class on his movement and depth of coat which just gave him the edge.
