Second Place in Limit, 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.
Excellent otter head with a dark eye, good bite with well sized teeth, good strength of jaw. Nice length of neck flowing into a straight topline. Well angulated front and rear. Good underline and well ribbed. Harsh double jacket with a good pliable pelt. Well-presented and shown just preferred narrowness of one.
