First Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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.
Just 6 months old grizzle and tan. Feminine head with lovely dark eye and keen expression, good dentition. Good length of neck into well angulated shoulders and correct narrow front. Ribs carried well back, narrow throughout, level top line and good rear angulation. Thick pliable pelt and full double coat. Her front movement was still slightly loose at times however movement overall was fluent and balanced. Will watch her progress with interest. I was pleased to see her go PG4. BBP, BPIB, PG4.
