First Place in Puppy, Judge: Mrs Laura Jordan-Smith (Jordith)
My sincere thanks to the committee for the kind invitation to judge at this show, and to all the exhibitors who entered and braved the abysmal weather to attend. I appreciate the sporting manner in which my decisions were accepted.
A 7-month-old blue and tan bitch with a feminine, well-proportioned head featuring a good bite and correct ear set. She is slightly finer in bone than preferred but has a straight front, standing on small feet with thick pads. Displays a narrow, easily spannable rib, a good short tail, and acceptable hindlimb angulation. Movement is slightly loose in front, as you may expect at this age. Awarded Best Puppy in Breed (BPIB).
