First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Jane Eyeington (Meadowdale)
I would like to thank the officers and committee for their kind invitation to judge at this friendly and well-organised show. To all the exhibitors, it was a true honour to assess your wonderful dogs, with many decisions being closely contested. I thoroughly enjoyed my day—thank you. I would also like to thank my hard-working stewards, Julie & Ian, for keeping the day running smoothly.
Promising and outgoing 8-month-old dog, who showed himself with confidence and has much to like. He possesses a little more bone and substance while remaining spannable. His head is nicely proportioned, with good width across the backskull, small ears, and a dark, expressive eye. He has a decent length of neck and a firm topline, though he did lose it at times today on the move. His chest is well let down, slightly shorter coupled, finished with a thick carrot tail. Presented in a harsh double coat and thick pelt.
