First Place in Veteran - Dog or 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.
9 years 9 months Grizzle and Tan. Lovely feminine head and expression, strong muzzle and good dentition. Good length of neck into correct shoulder and straight, narrow front with good depth of chest. She is well ribbed back and narrow throughout, easy to span. Great body length and level topline with correct tail set, good length and carriage. Racy quarters and correct rear angulation and good muscle tone power her movement which today was easy and fluent. She had a good tight coat and plenty of loose pelt. BVIS
