Second Place in Post Graduate - 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.
Another quality dog who, although different in type to first, appealed all the same. Blue and tan presented in a good coat, he had a typical border head and expression, correct ears and strong jaw. He had a good lay of rib, which was easily spanned, and a strong loin. Although larger than first, he was balanced throughout and moved with drive around the ring
