First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Mrs Julie Guvercin
Thank you to all exhibitors for your entries I had a good cross section of dogs to choose from. Some dogs that I have admired in the past were either not in coat or didn’t move well and others that I’ve not noticed before, were ‘found ‘ on the table. We must all remember judging should be on the day and not on what something has won or not won, beforehand. I’m sure the same dogs could be placed differently on another day under me, some that did or didn’t perform affected their placings accordingly.
Some super puppies coming through, with all four of my puppy class winners looking very promising. They gave me some hair splitting decisions.
Good class with several promising younsters.
Good headed grizzle with dark eye and correct expression. A little heavy in ear perhaps but they’re well set and used. Good neck and front with easily spanned body of just enough length to use himself on the move, which is where he clinched this class. He is moderately angulated and a shade more behind would be nice, but he uses every bit that he’s got to stride out. Carries a nice top line and tail and was in good order.
