First Place in Open, Judge: Mr David Nightingale (Knowbury)
My thanks to the Officers and Committee for giving me the opportunity to judge at their efficiently run and splendidly organised show and my heartfelt appreciation to the two stewards, Jackie and John who kept proceedings running so competently and smoothly throughout.
Finally my sincere thanks and appreciation to all the exhibitors for entering and letting me go over their dogs for which I take as a great privilege and honour.
BOB, Grizzle bitch with typical otter like head. Keen expression with dark eye and correct ear set, along with correct scissor bite. Well boned, straight front, good body with nice turn of stifle. Harsh textured coat with good undercoat and pliable pelt. Moved well for and aft, covering ground smoothly and with purpose showing herself off to full advantage
