First Place in Veteran - 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.
10 yrs old WOW what a credit to the owner. One I have seen before and doesn’t look a day older. Beautiful masculine head and lovely expression. Good front and rear angulation. Level topline. Easily spanned and nice underline. Excellent pelt. Lovely type. BVIB
