Second Place in Veteran - Dog or 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.
7 year old workman like bitch full of type. Feminine head which had a correct muzzle housing big teeth. Keen varminty expression with neat small ears. Neck flowed into a well-placed shoulder and straight front. Ribbed well back she came to hand well and was easily spanned. Good angulation both front and rear she moved out with purpose and true around the ring. Put down in thick coat and good pelt she pushed 1st hard today
