First Place in Yearling - Bitch, Judge: Miss T James (Blackmine)
Thank you to everyone who entered under me. It was a fantastic entry and I thoroughly enjoyed my days judging. It is a beauty competition and it is much easier to assess a dog when it is well trained and well turned out. Showmanship sometimes comes naturally to some dogs and then others you have to work hard at. I was very pleased with all my winners.
Lovely head; strong but feminine. Good reach of neck. Straight front, easily spanned. Lovely level topline, nice bend of stifle. Shown in heavy double coat. Moved true and with lots of drive. Had a tendency to stand untidy in front.
