First Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Karen Stockley (Foxfactor)
I would like to thank the SBTC committee for inviting me to judge their show and for the lovely gift,a day I thoroughly enjoyed with some lovely exhibits to have the pleasure of going over.
A big thank you to my stewards Jill Stevens and Tina Morgan who very efficiently kept the classes running smoothly throughout the day.
Thanks also to all the exhibitors who entered and those present on the day.
I found a great percentage of the exhibits in good muscle tone and condition, coats as always at different stages but many in good harsh double jackets, disappointingly quite a few thin pelts and a lack of real carroty tails, just a couple with incorrect dentition and one kinked tail. All dogs were entire and all dogs and bitches displaying good temperaments in the ring.
I was pleased with both my final line ups. There were some lovely puppies forward which I love judging and some close decisions there.
almost 16 months red,a lovely workmanlike handy size bitch,really liked her overall appearance.she has an ottery head with keen eye and expression.good entition,everything in moderation,straight front,small,neat tight feet,shown in the best of tight,harsh jacket over a thick pelt.easily spans,ribs carried well back into strong loin,moves true with drive from her well angulated hind construction.Comes to hand well,could surely do the job she was bred for if called upon and I was pleased to award her this class,BB and BIS.
