First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Diane Rayner (Stoneygin)
It was a real privilege to be asked to judge this show. I had a very good entry which pleased me and hope I did it justice. The dogs were generally in good fit condition, came across a few that were too thin, you can’t expect a young active dog to gain good muscle tone if you don’t feed them enough. They must feel miserable kept in that condition, constantly hungry. It was a very hot day, but we tried to keep them in the shade as long as possible but a few were showing signs of the heat. There were a few that looked rather scruffy with long nails and looked as if they had forgotten to take off their carpet slippers. But most were a pleasure to go over.
I was very pleased with my winners.
Beautiful red bitch with a strong otter head. Good length of upper arm and correct shoulder placement. Ribbed well back and very easily spanned. The harshest of jackets and thick pelt. Excellent bend of stifle which she used well as she went around the ring with plenty of drive. Pleased to award her BCC with BOB. Group 3.
