First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Miss Sally Leslie (Risdene)
Congratulations to the committee on finding a splendid new venue. It is so nice to be able to evaluate exhibits in natural surrounding and this was ideal. I understand some did not care completely for the ground but while some exhibits did not excel on the terrain those that did displayed good conformation and moved accordingly.
Generally: there were some mouth faults present today which affected some results in the context of the classes they were in and the degree of the fault. Fronts came in many shapes and sizes not all straight and narrow unfortunately and I was surprised at the number of large and rather thin, spreading feet. Finally I just want to get off my chest that for me the term racy hindquarters does not carry with it a high tuck up.
The unexpected heat, especially in the earlier classes, was a little overwhelming and I thought both exhibits and exhibitors coped admirably. I loved my line ups and very much appreciated my entry, thank you.
Thanks also to my stewards who in these strange times were really kept at it all day.
One of those that catches the eye from all directions and for good reason as it was hard to find many points I wanted to change from head to toe. In perfect fettle, fit and toned but nothing overdone. So typical with good, normal conformation and movement to match, really strides out. Correct forehand with good neck and shoulders and legs and well padded feet which he stands on evenly. Excellent rear assembly with nicely developed second thigh and good rear pasterns. Well bodied with good rib. Lovely bright expression. RCC.
