First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs Anne Higham (Comberdown)
Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge the show and for your great hospitality. Thanks also to my stewarts on the day, Marina and Jane, who kept everything running smoothly and enabled me to finish judging in good time. I would also like to thank all the exhibitors for their entries.
Coats were at various stages on the day and I found one kinked tail and one mouth with misaligned teeth. I also noticed that a few of the exhibits had small teeth which we do not want to become the norm and should be discouraged.
Strong but spannable 7 month old grizzle and tan. Nice head with strong jaw and correct dentition. Good topline and correct tail set. Double coat of good texture. Straight front and good for bone. Moved well once settled.
