First Place in Veteran - Dog or Bitch, Judge: Mr. J. Todd (Roxess)
I would like to thank the club for the invitation to judge and the hospitality I received. Thanks also to my steward Mr Ian Hopper for his great assistance. Finally thank you to the exhibitors for giving me the opportunity to go over their dogs. I really enjoyed my day.
I was impressed with the quality of the majority of dogs present and although some were top size all placed dogs were easily spanned and had correct bite.. I felt overall movement was good, coats were variable some full and some lacking however in the run up to Crufts this is to be expected. The majority had good pelts which was pleasing. Mouths were generally good most with large teeth but I was disappointed to see many with dirty teeth.
grizzle/tan 8 year old dog who belied his age, he looked good in profile he is well constructed which showed in his movement which was straight and true with good drive. Balanced head with keen expression, presented in good firm condition, he was in good coat which was harsh and dense. Pleased to award him BV BD BOS & RBIS
