Judge-Ian Sexton

I would like to thank the committee for inviting me judge and congratulate them on coping under very difficult conditions. I had a very enjoyable experience and would also like to thank all my exhibitors for a wonderful entry.

PD (5)  1st. Mrs R Gee’s, Watercroft to coin a phrase. 

 A 10-month-old red, showing excellent overall type, small and compact, head of the correct proportions, ears well-carried, dark eyes and the correct bite. Neck of the correct length level back, with nicely angulated front and rear quarters, shoulders well-laid back and coat of the correct texture and tail carried correctly, he moved sound and true BP.  

2nd. Mrs C S Thompson-Morgan’s, Belleville just a minute.

An 11 month old with a typical outline for the breed, small and compact, level back, correct length of neck, broad skull, well set ears, strong muzzle, dark eyes and the correct bite, I would have preferred more lay back of shoulder blade. He moved soundly being true coming and going.

JD (2)

1st. Mrs M E Atkinson’s, 

Moortop Mymark Again. An almost 18 months old red dog, compact and strong, well balanced throughout, strong head proportions, dark eyes and the correct bite with a strong muzzle.

A 16 month old, red dog, coat of the correct texture, not the substance or the overall balance of the first placed dog, head of the correct proportions, broad skull and a strong muzzle, dark eyes and the correct bite. Level back and correct tail set, he moved soundly with reach and drive.

Head of the correct proportions broad skull, well-set ears, dark eyes and a strong muzzle with the correct bite and dentition. He has a hard wiry coat texture and was well presented, although unsettled his movement was sound and true, a very promising youngster.

2nd. Ms V A Davies’s Lagdenfarm Fidget Pie.

A 23 month old red, not as compact as the first placed dog and carrying a little too much weight today, coat not in the best condition.

A 4 year old black and tan, head and muzzle of the correct proportions, dark eyes and the correct bite and dentition.
