Second Place in Open, 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.
2 year old grizzle dog, good flat skull with lovely expression. Good shoulder layback and length of rib. Liked his topline and tailset. Nicely balanced dog but not too happy on the move today and sadly lacking coat.
