First Place in Veteran - Bitch, Judge: Mrs. Kathy Newsome (Kighill)
My first judging appointment at a Championship show and what a lovely day I had. Firstly I would like to thank the Manchester Dog Society for inviting me to judge their show, and also to all the exhibitors for showing their support.
I had a lovely selection of dogs and I was very pleased with the quality that came before me. All dogs were entire and mouths were good. Some dogs could have done with being tidied up a little more.
A well balanced bitch and handled well, lovely flat skull, good mouth and nice short muzzle, straight front and well laid shoulders and length of rib, narrow throughout, loose thick pelt.
