First Place in Open, Judge: Miss Angie Nettle (Onziemehurst)
Thank you to the club for inviting me to judge at your premier open show, and to my professional stewards. The entry although small, delivered quality dogs .Some would say a day of blue dogs. Thank you to all the exhibitors for exhibiting their dogs under me. I had a lovely day and was greeted with a warm welcome.
A quality blue and tan dog. Just oozes breed type for me. Super otter head and expression with a strong muzzle and keen dark eye. Nice size and good bone with excellent straight front legs and small well-padded feet. Very good deep and narrow rib, strong loin, good topline and short well set tail. Excellent racy hindquarters with low set hocks. Shown in an excellent harsh blue topcoat with thick undercoat and pelt. Very sound on the move. Honoured to give him BOB
