Second Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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 class of promising puppies who I am sure will change places and I will watch with interest.
Pushed first hard today another I liked for her type and balance. Typical otter head with a keen expression, strong jaw and correct bite. She too had a good rear of neck which flowed into a well-placed shoulder. Lovely lay of rib which was easily spanned. Racy rear which she used to advantage on the move with purpose and drive holding her topline
