First Place in Open, 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 3-year-old grizzle male presented in excellent condition. He displays a lovely skull shape, well-set ears, and large teeth with a correct scissor bite. He stands on small, tight feet with thick pads and has enough bone and substance. He possesses an excellent pelt and correct double jacket. Balanced front and rear angulation enabled him to move with drive and purpose.
