First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Mr John Bainbridge
A small but interesting entry with many good quality exhibits a pleasure to judge after the challenge of my previous two huge entries. The BOB and Dog CC winners are excellent examples of the breed with otter head, good length neck into well laid shoulders, correct length of body, flowing top line, well ribbed back into strong loin and well angulated rear quarters, short hocks and good feet, narrow throughout and spannable making for a dog that can run with the horse and go to ground on arrival. Both were in double full coats but the bitch presented better in hers and relaxed in the final challenge to show her full quality to take BOB.
I liked this lighter red who excels in type and movement, super head shape well set eyes muzzle would benefit from more furnishings but has required strength, correct neck, shoulders and body length, well ribbed back to create that necessary lung room for endurance, good coat and pelt completed the picture RCC
