First Place in Post Graduate - 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 presented in a harsh double coat and thick loose pelt, well toned hind quarters and narrow straight front fit for purpose, covering the ground well. Pleasing head of good proportion, nice in profile and on the move. easily spanned .
