First Place in Veteran - 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.
Seven year old grizzle and tan. Nice head with dark eye, strong muzzle and correct scissor bite. Straight front and small feet with thick pads. Good topline and tail set. Easy to span. He had a harsh jacket and was in fit condition. Moved well holding his topline. Best Veteran.
