Second Place in Post Graduate - 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
really liked this bitch for breed type, super otter like head with well-placed ears, good reach of neck, well laid-back shoulders and neat feet with thick pads, good length of rib, shown in good coat with thick pelt, short tail moved well coming and going, sadly lost out to first due to a little too much condition.
