First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mr David G Winsley (Davmar)
Though the standard calls for a narrow body I found many dogs who were too skinny & I could easily feel their ribs! Heads were quite disappointing, many had long weak muzzles not the proportions one associates with an Otters head. Many exhibits lack the small round foot & I doubt if they would cope with the exercise it needs to follow a horse. Coats were mixed & many just a seasonal problem.
nice dog of good type & a nice size. Liked his head, correct proportions & expression. Good neck & correct shoulder placement, straight front with good bone. Deep chest, narrow enough & well ribbed. Racy & balanced shape. He has a good turn of stifle & well muscled hindquarters, good feet too. Moving fluently both ways, with a good pelt & the correct harsh textured coat. Showed steadily, deserved the RCC
