First Place in Veteran - Dog or Bitch, Judge: Mr D E Fryer (Irton)
Thanks to the Club for the opportunity to go over so many quality dogs, and to the exhibitors for bringing them along. I was pleased to find , overall, a better standard of movement than I had expected, particularly in front; likewise coats, in general, were of good quality and quantity. I was, however, disappointed that so many seemed to have small teeth; mostly technically correct with only a couple with missing teeth. One male was not entire.
A lovely class of senior citizens, all still sound in body and temperament. A good way to start the day!
Good, upstanding 7 yr old dog, strong headed, well laid shoulder and ribs carried well back, well angulated behind. Tail well set and of correct length. Coat harsh and dense, pelt thick and loose. Moved out confidently.
