First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mandy Holmes (Bimandi)
Many thanks to EABT for asking me to judge and to all the exhibitors for entering under me.
All males entire. 3 dogs with level bites, the rest all had good mouths. No kinked tails. Some very nice youngsters in the ring today, a real credit to their breeders.
4yr well balanced bitch, strong but feminine. Broad skull and strong muzzle with alert expression. Straight narrow front. Good angles front and rear with racy back end. Ribs well back, firm topline with well set tail. Spannable with thick loose pelt and in good harsh coat. Moved out with purpose. Not exaggerated in any way. Pleased to award her Best Bitch.
