Second Place in Novice - Bitch, Judge: Mrs J Guvercin (Glebeheath)
Thank you to the committee for this appointment, everyone worked hard to make it an enjoyable day. This venue always has a super atmosphere, however, the ring is too small really to see outlines, being far too near the dogs and side profile movement is very difficult to see, let alone for the dogs to perform really well. Many moved poorly, not liking the smooth mats and although I had to judge them on this today, I think most would move much better outside in a big grass ring.
grizzle youngster, bigger and longer cast than 1 in good coat and body condition with thick pelt. Her rear is well made but she didn’t cope with the floor and moved untidily behind. Good side profile and held a level topline but was somewhat switched off today, have seen her look better.
