First Place in Open - 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.
Six year old grizzle and tan dog. Slightly on large size but still able to span. Moderate head with dark eye and correct scissor bite. Level topline, upright in shoulder. Good thick pelt and strong loin.
