Second Place in Post Graduate - Bitch, Judge: Rachel Larner (Hawcoat)
Thank you to everyone that entered and attended my first judging appointment at Championship level. Many thanks to my stewards, who kept the day running smoothly. We were very lucky with the weather, a little warm at times but the dogs all managed well and did not flag in the heat.
I was thrilled at the quality of dogs that I had to go over and extremely pleased that I had very few absentees. There were some super quality of classes that made my decisions quite hard. Finding a dog that most fits the standard is important to me, and I feel my winners did just that. I was extremely pleased with my main winners, and even more thrilled to see that I made up two Champions!
Another one I liked for type and size, in fact it was tough choice for 1st and 2nd. Blue and tan bitch in excellent coat of correct colour. Good otter head with a lovely expression and neat ears. She has a good outline, well balanced and good angulation, which meant she moved out well.
