First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs Laura Illingworth (Thorneyhurst)
Thanks to Birmingham National for giving me the opportunity to judge this show and for providing me with two excellent stewards, who kept the ring running smoothly, also to all the exhibitors that gave me the pleasure of going over their dogs.
The quality in some classes was superb especially the limit and open of both sexes, leaving me with more dogs I liked, than cards to award. Temperaments and presentation were good.
a racy narrow blue and tan, comes to hand beautifully, pleasing head with dark eyes and good expression, harsh coat with good thick pelt, moved soundly on nice tight feet, fit and turned out well CC
