First Place in Veteran - Dog or 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.
Wasn’t expecting a Veteran class like this, but my it was very much appreciated, thanks to the exhibitors for bringing them and for excepting my decisions so sportingly. A class full of quality.
Just in Veteran and just had pups I think14 weeks ago, in excellent condition. Probably the best coat and pelt you’ll find, this bitch is a credit to the breed. Lovely head and expression with big teeth and correct bite, from her head to her toes she just flows from the elegant neck into beautiful shoulders and rib, excellent topline and tailset she just looks a picture. She is a lovely size and beautiful in profile her underline is perfection and something to be noted, she moved with drive both ways. A credit to the breed the breeder and owner.
