Second Place in Open - 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 male who has showmanship in spades; it was a close call between these two. He has a moderately broad skull with a keen expression, strong jaw holding big teeth and correct bite. He has a well-placed shoulder and straight front, with good lay of rib into a strong loin and well-angulated rear quarters. Presented in fit hard condition, he moved out with purpose around the ring to secure RBD
