First Place in Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mr. Stewart Golding (Beaconpike)
Sorry for delay in critiques, work commitments had to take priority. Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge the October show which was brought forward in conjunction with the May show. Thank you to my two stewards for keeping the ring running smoothly, which wasn’t easy with two shows running side by side. Thank you to the Exhibitors for a lovely entry and accepting my decisions in a sportsmanlike manner. I had some difficult decisions especially in the bitch classes where I just didn’t have enough cards to hand out. Coats from last time I judged had improved and it was a pleasure to see so many in correct double coat of depth. On the whole movement was good. I did find a couple of incorrect bites and one kinked tail
Nice puppy of lovely breed type, strong but feminine head with broad flat skull and good strength of muzzle, well set on ears, good reach of neck flowing into well placed shoulders, narrow front with small feet and thick pads, good in rib narrow throughout and strong in loin, super coat and thick pelt, moved true coming and going.
