Second Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Libby Wain (Itsaso)
I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to Judge their open show, the hospitality was fantastic. I would also all the exhibitors who entered allowing me the pleasure of going over their dogs. My stewards done an amazing job keeping the ring flowing throughout the day. Overall the quality of the entry was good; however my one observation is that we are beginning to lose correct front movement, with wide fronts or flicking at the pasterns creeping in.
A blue and tan puppy, slightly larger than first, with a strong head and expression, good jaw and bite. The neck flowed into a good shoulder. He moved well, holding his topline. I just preferred the overall size and balance of the first on the day
