Second Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Veteran/Dog Judge: Valerie Atkinson, Bitch Judge: Sue Spafford
Val Atkinson – Dogs
Thank you so much to the committee for inviting me to judge. The welcome was warm and the standards of exhibits high. Sportsmanship was very evident to see and this made for a really lovely atmosphere.
I apologize for the delay in these critiques but I took very poorly and spent some time hospitalized.
Sue Spafford – Bitches
I would like to thank the committee for giving me the opportunity to judge at the show. Together with my fellow judge, Valerie Atkinson (Read Wolf) – dogs. We had a super entry but a shame there were so many absentees on the day. We both agreed on our joint decisions for BoB, RBoB and BP.
Undeniably masculine 5 year old blue and tan dog. The harshest of jackets and plenty of undercoat with a thick, pliable pelt. Up to size with lots of bone. Well muscled and in fit condition, wider in front and behind movement OK.
