First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mrs. V. Mann (Valger)
I would like to thank The Committee for their invitation to judge their Open Show. I thoroughly enjoyed my day. Thank you to my very efficient Stewards Mark & Julie for keeping everything on track & The Club for their hospitality & splendid gift.
6yr old grizzle. My notes say another lovely bitch. She has super head with that alert keen expression. Good strength of muzzle, neat well set ears. Lovely reach of neck flows into close bladed, well laid shoulders. She has the corresponding return of upper arm placing her forelegs under her body. Her rear angulation is good with strength of second thigh & short rear pasterns. Narrow all through she stands on a lovely straight front with neat feet. Her ribs reach well back to a short deep loin. Level topline with a well-set carrot tail. Easily spanned with a thick loose pelt. Her coat texture was harsh with a good undercoat. Presented in tip top condition she moved out soundly from any angle showing good reach & drive in profile. Close up to top honours.
