First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mr. David Matthews (Tojamatt)
My thanks to the Society for the invitation to Judge one of my favourite shows, it didn’t all go to plan with the weather playing its part. I would like to thank all the exhibitors for going along with my decision to stay outside despite the weather, and my special thanks to stewards Judy Carr and Audrey Coltart for braving the weather also. Also my thanks to Euan for posting my judging book and critique notes and to whomever handed it in.
Sorry for delay, holidays and work have played their part. I had some lovely dogs to go over and thank you all for bringing them.
A blue and Tan dog of good size with head of correct proportions and keen expression. He as a dark eye and a correct bite, with a good reach of neck flowing into nice shoulders, he is easily spanned with ribs carried well back and good topline and tail set. And a good rear assembly he uses so well on the move. He is totally unexaggerated with a narrow straight front and another great example from this kennel. BPIB
