First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mr Euan Castel (Flutorum)
My sincere thanks are extended to each exhibitor for providing me with such a wonderful entry, on this, my 1st CC appointment. At 160 dogs I had the highest entry in the group. I would like to thank the committee for their kind invitation and the hospitality that I received. Thank you to my two very competent stewards Alex & Barry Cole.
Mouths were good, a couple were unspannable and coats varied. Some exhibits were untidy in undercarriage, legs and feet and would benefit from a little grooming a few days prior to show day. More importantly, a number of exhibits were overweight and lacked muscle tone. That said, there was a depth of quality to each class and a number of nice dogs had to go unplaced on this occasion. I was extremely pleased with both the dog and bitch line ups.
Well presented grizzle in excellent condition. Typical head and expression, strong jaw, well placed eye and ear. Nice reach of neck into well placed shoulder. Straight front, nice length of body with well placed rib. Racy quarters. Short carroty tail. Excellent harsh double jacket on good pelt. Moved soundly with drive and purpose. Reserve Dog CC.
