Second 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.
Grizzle dog with good masculine balanced head with dark eye and alert expression. Good reach of neck along with correct front construction. Nice length of body with ribs well back and pleasing top line. Spannable. Well boned with a larger profile. Moved freely with long forward stride covering ground easily.
