First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs J. Carr (Wreighaugh)
Thanks to NCSTA for their kind invitation to judge and to the NBTC for my nomination. Thanks also to my two stewards who kept everything running smoothly. Thanks as well to the exhibitors who gave me such a good entry. A lot of quality dogs to go over, it was a privilege to judge them all.
3 year old grizzle and tan. Lovely head and expression, strong jaw and good teeth. Nice length of neck and good shoulders, straight narrow front. Good length of rib and strong loin. Racy quarters, well muscled. Good feet. A little short on coat today however evidence of a good coat coming through. Moved OK.
