Second 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.
At just 6 months old, this grizzle puppy understandably concedes in maturity to the winner. He is slightly more refined and possesses finer bone. He has an appealing overall stamp and simply needs time to mature. His head is developing well, featuring a lovely dark eye and a kind yet keen expression. He shows sufficient depth for his age and is easily spanned, though he falls away slightly at the croup. He moves happily and is presented in a good coat.
