First Place in Junior - 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.
Grizzle dog with a pleasing head of correct proportions, good bite, nice in profile and well balanced, a good handy size easily spanned and shown in harsh double coat with thick pelt. He moved well both ways, with narrow straight front and covered the ground well maintaining a level topline on the move.
