First Place in Open - Bitch, 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.
very pleasing feminine head. Balanced with moderate angulation front and rear. Straight front. Ribs carried well back and with good underline. Level topline and correct tailset finish off with a lovely carrot tail. This girl was presented in lovely condition, her coat was spot on and her showmanship and movement couldn’t be faulted. CC & BOS
