Second Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mrs. Carolyn Richardson (Staynorwood)
I would like to thank Darlington Championship Show Committee for inviting me to judge my first appointment to give CC’s. Thank you to my very capable Stewards, Katrina and Margaret, for keeping everything moving and running to time.
Generally the condition of the dogs today was very good with many missing out on the top spot due to the strength of quality present. In the Bitch classes, I had some difficult decisions to make as several classes had many quality exhibits with lots of promise, splitting hairs at times in more than one class. I was very pleased with my principle winners on the day.
Another nice type of puppy. Blue and tan. Feminine otter head with dark eye and nice expression. Short muzzle and flat skull. Neat ears set on well. Narrow front. Ok for rib. Harsh double jacket and loose pelt. Move well around the ring.
