Second 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.
Another Blue and Tan from this kennel who is nice for size and narrow throughout. Head of good proportions with dark eye, neat ears and keen expression. With a good reach of neck and front assembly, level topline and tail set. He is easily spanned and really well presented in a good double coat of harsh texture and loose thick pelt, he moved well, a difficult decision between 1 and 2
