Second Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mrs M Fleming (Flegato)
A big thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge my breed at their lovely Christmas show. It was my first time judging at a breed club show and it couldn’t have gone any better – the welcome was amazing, my stewards were fantastic and the atmosphere felt so harmonious and friendly. A true club show atmosphere. I am also immensely grateful to the exhibitors who entered and let me go over their lovely dogs. Thank you all so very much, I had an amazing day.
Temperaments were good and all dogs were spannable. Coats were in different stages which is OK. A number of exhibits would benefit from a little less condition.
6 year old G & T, slightly taller than 1, in fantastic shape. Head of correct proportions, dark eye and inquisitive expression. Straight front, good legs and feet. Good coat and pelt and spanned well. Moved out well, just not the length of stride of the winner.
