First Place in Limit - 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 ideal sized bitch, who was presented in a super red grizzle coat with a thick pelt. She has feminine head with a strong jaw, with dark eye and a keen expression. Well constructed, she is balanced, with a good reach of neck, straight front and nice bone. Level topline with a correct tails set. She is of nice length and good rib. She is a fit dog who moved well on neat feet.
