Second 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.
Blue and tan dog with masculine head of good proportions, neat ears, eyecatching in outline and on the move with good reach of neck and shoulder placement, flat ribs with plenty of strengthen in the loin, excellent topline and tail set, good rear angulation moved with drive and purpose, double coat of harsh texture and thick loose pelt unlucky to meet 1 today.
