First Place in 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 B&T puppy, just 10 months old, and showing like an old pro. Liked his workmanlike outline and balanced proportions, complemented by a nicely balanced head with strength in the foreface and a dark, inquisitive eye. His neck is of good length, flowing seamlessly into a well-held topline. Displays the desired narrowness along with depth to the brisket. Liked his hindquarters, with good width of thigh and well-let-down hocks. Well presented in a harsh jacket. Though he still needs a little more time to settle into his front movement, he is true from behind and shows drives in profile. – Please to award him BPD & BPIS
