First Place in Veteran - Bitch, Judge: Mr J A Barney (Romaunt)
Many thanks to Richmond in giving me the opportunity to judge a breed that still has some depth in quality to it. Generally, I felt movement needs to be attended to. It’s a breed I’ve always associated with true movement both ways and a number did tend to pin in front. Coat texture was pretty good throughout but some would benefit from slightly neater presentation. I was able to span nearly all exhibits and pelts good. At the moment I would say that bitches are far stronger than the males.
A well presented bitch in full coat. Correct harsh wiry texture. Feminine head and expression good ear and well set. Well ribbed back with correct topline with correct tailset and carriage on the move. Moved well enough both ways
