Second Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mrs J Carr (Wreighaugh)
My thanks go to the Committee of the NBTC for their invitation to judge their Open Show. I was honoured to receive this appointment and am incredibly grateful to the exhibitors who gave me such a great entry. It was a most enjoyable day and special thanks go to my Stewards, Andrea Pitt and Mark Atkinson, for keeping me on track and helping the ring to run smoothly.
Grizzle and Tan. Another nice feminine head with good teeth and correct bite, strong jaw. Slightly longer in muzzle than 1. Nice dark eyes and keen expression. Good neck leading into a good lay of shoulder. Nice straight front and neat padded feet. Ribbed well back and narrow throughout she is easily spanned and has a nice topline, tailset is slightly lower than 1. Good racy quarters, she moved well both ways. Nice coat and good pelt. A very close decision between these two, just preferred the overall picture of 1 today
