First Place in Veteran - Dog or 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.
A lovely class of veterans
8yr old. My notes say lovely grizzle dog who is a super mover. His head is super too with a short strong muzzle, dark eyes with a keen expression. Little to no stop, good width of skull & well-set ears. No doubting he is male. His neck is of good length leading to well placed shoulders. His angulation is good fore & aft. Narrow all through he stands on a straight front, well boned legs & neat feet. His ribs reach well back to a deep firm loin. His topline is level held on the move & he has a short carrot tail. Easily spanned with a thick loose pelt. His double coat was harsh to the touch. His movement was so sound, it was a pleasure to see him go. BD BOS.
