First Place in Yearling - 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.
b/t of nice size. Masculine head with lovely expression. Well placed shoulders, Good front and rea angulation. Ribs carried well back with good underline. Correct topline and tails set. Moved out particularly well, with purpose and drive . Lots to like and considered him for top honours.
