First Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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.
10-month-old grizzle bitch presents a balanced outline, with a lovely flow through her neck and topline, which was held firm both when standing and on the move. She has a feminine head with well-placed ears, a dark eye, and strength in the muzzle. She also shows good length of neck and a well-let-down chest, with the desired narrow front and ribs carried well back. Though not at her best coat-wise today. Her front action is a touch untidy, but she demonstrates lovely, true driving action from the rear.
