First Place in Limit - 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 caught my eye again, narrow throughout, masculine head and keen expression, really big teeth, good length of neck, correct shoulder and flat rib, good loin and rear assembly, easily spanned and shown in excellent condition with harsh double coat and thick pelt, on the move he covers the ground with ease, good topline and tail set RDCC.
