First Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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.
7-month-old, feminine head maturing nicely, good expression, good length of neck, straight front narrow and easily spanned. Well laid back rib, good topline, short carroty tail, well set on, good hind angulation. Lacking coat today but liked her construction enough to award BP.
