First Place in Open - 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
Another top class bitch, lovely head and expression with well-placed ears, correct bite and dark eye, good reach of neck flowing into well angulated shoulders, narrow front, neat feet with thick pads, well ribbed back , level topline with well set on tail, lovely double coat with super thick pelt, spanned with ease, another that was not overdone in any way, moved out freely with drive. Pleased to award her the RBCC
