First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Miss Tracey James (Blackmine)
Thank you to everyone who entered under me. It was a pleasure to judge all your dogs. I found it difficult to judge to a particular type as the best dogs came from different sizes and types, and I believe there is a place for them all if they fit the breed standard. Most of the dogs had evidence of a double coat. As coats are constantly changing, I did not heavily penalise any for very tweedy coats or lacking some coat as long as they were presented in a tidy manner.
Upstanding red. Beautiful head, strong muzzle, dark eye and neat ears. Narrow throughout. Balanced with a straight front, well placed shoulders, level topline and racy quarters. Excellent rib with good underline. Moved steady and true. Lots to like. BPIB
