Second Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mrs E Cuthbertson (Ashbrae)
My thanks to the Officers, Committee and members of the Club for this appointment. It was a privilege to judge, with a very nice entry and sporting atmosphere throughout the day.
My thanks for the hospitality, gift and excellent lunch, and to my steward Shona.
I was pleased with the entry overall, coats varied throughout. My main concern not only today but with the breed in general would be size with many being too big and something that must be considered in future breeding. Front movement with pinning in lost some dogs placings today. It was rewarding to start two youngsters off with their first CC’s and I wish them well for their future.
A lovely class of puppies some at their first show sadly not enough place cards, movement being the deciding factor, no doubt they will change places at future shows.
Sweet pup with lots to like, typical otter like head nice expression. Well balanced, liked her body lines with good texture to jacket. Good topline and tailset. Moved out well.
