First Place in Veteran - 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 of nice size with masculine head and broad flat skull, a keen expression and straight narrow front and neat feet. He has flowing lines from neck to tail, good ribs and loin with well angulated rear assembly providing lots of drive, moved well both ways and was presented in a harsh double coat and thick loose pelt.
