First Place in Yearling - 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.
Blue and Tan dog masculine head, good expression, big teeth correct bite, good length of neck, good topline and tail set, up to size, narrow throughout easily and spanned, shown in a harsh double coat moved well and was in good fettle being well muscled but not overdone.
