First Place in Graduate, Judge: Mrs Jill Stevens (Cobstoneway)
My thanks to the committee for inviting me to judge and for their hospitality on the day. Thanks also to the exhibitors for a lovely entry of quality dogs. All exhibits were clean and nicely turned out, and I found no kinked tails, only one imperfect bite, and all males were entire.
1 ½ year blue and tan bitch. Lovely for type and size. Pleasing head and expression with good bite. Stron neck into lovely shoulders. Just right for bone. Neat, well padded feet. Good double coat and thick pelt. Nice carroty tail. Moved well.
