First Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Miss Tracey James (Blackmine)
A bit thank to the committee of EABTC for inviting me to judge their championship show. I really enjoyed my day and when I later looked at the catalogue to see my winners I found it interesting reading, as all my major winners were of similar lines.
wow what a beautiful dog, lovely masculine head with a melting expression, nice reach of neck flowing into well placed shoulder, level topline and correct tailset. Straight front, nicely angulated front and rear, ribs carried well back presenting a balance picture and not overdone in any department. Carrying a lovely double coat and finished off with a carrot tail. Moved and showed to advantage. In the challenge it was a close call but just preferred the carriage and showmanship of the open winner. RCC
