First Place in Veteran - Dog, Judge: Mr Julien Barney (Romaunt)
A big thank you to the committee for giving me the opportunity to judge at this well run show. A super sporting atmosphere around the ring on a very pleasant sunny autumn afternoon.
My general comments would be about heads and the lack of that typical Otter look with a good skull and a powerful muzzle required to do their job. Front movement in some wasn’t good being tied in front and I wonder how well they would be able to follow a horse for a good days hunting. Plus size seemed to be an issue with some being well up to the limit.
Cleaner dog with nothing overdone, with a good neck and shoulder into a clean front construction. Good harsh coat and in good hard condition. Moderate rear and moved so well for 9 years old. Happy with a good tail carriage. Liked his head and expression, masculine and powerful.
