Second Place in Graduate, Judge: Anna Duxbury (Ridgebow)
I would very much like to thank the officers and committee for offering me this appointment, and for their hospitality. Thanks also to the ring steward who kept things running smoothly, and of course to all the exhibitors for allowing me the privilege of going over their dogs. Temperaments on the day were excellent, coats were very varied. I found one dog with an incorrect bite and all male dogs were entire.
Grizzle and tan dog, quite similar to 1. Very pleasing head with good bite. Good shoulders and length of rib with nice bend of stifle. Again in good fit condition and easy to span. Very good coat and pelt. Close decision between the two – just preferred the better driving action of 1.
