First Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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.
Two smashing young bitches headed this class with little between them.
10 month old grizzle and tan. Strong in head. Nicely balanced bitch. Dark eye and small ears. Good scissor bite with strength to muzzle. Lovely flow from neck into level topline and well set short thick carrot tail. Easy to span and good loose pelt. Narrow front. Moved well. Best Puppy Bitch.
