First Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mr Dave Matthews (Tojamatt)
Really pleased to be invited to judge the midland open show, so my thanks to the committee for inviting me and for the hospitality received. Many thanks to Margaret Bailey and Paul Brannan for stewarding and making things run smoothly and keeping me on track. Also my thanks to the competitors for taking my decisions so well and for bringing real quality to the show ring it was hugely appreciated, whether you were first or third there were some close decisions and exceptional quality.
Red grizzle baby at 6 months but what a coat, it was harsh and dense with good undercoat. Feminine head, big teeth, good bite and narrow throughout, a bit of a fidget today but on the move she went round the ring with drive,nice reach of neck good shoulder placement easily spanned.
