First Place in Graduate - 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.
r/g very similar to my previous class winner. Pleasing head, nice expression and neat ears. In lovely coat. Easily spanned. Moved out with drive but could be tidier in front.
