judge Terri Durrant Glenturret

I should like to extend my sincere thanks to the Officers and Committee for inviting me to judge at this show. It was a very enjoyable day, and I very much appreciated the opportunity and the support from the exhibitors on this appointment to assess some lovely dogs.

Many thanks to my 2 stewards operating ring during my appointment for their efficient running of my ring

Junior dog/ bitch 3 (A1) Both these two dogs just need time to mature in body and mind

1st Pallini Krisada not in Kansas 15 month old male Well balanced, just lacking the bone and muscle at this stage. Head needs time to mature but has correct proportions and the classic Gordon dark eye and kind expression. Well angulated front and rear ok, with level topline and correct tail run off, moved well holding his topline and once settled striding out and enjoying himself. Needs time,

2nd Beddall Dwensantinis Dora 16 month old bitch was a bit twitchy going over at first but settle down once we starting going over her A finer build than 1st but nevertheless a good forechest and brisket. Good neck and shoulders and nicely shaped body with good angulation carrier her topline beautifully into a nice tail set on the movement move with drive.

Open dog/bitch 10(A3) this was a very strong class to choose from putting my judging head an going over the breed stander in my head narrow it down to what I thought was near the stander.

1st Bryant Kilnrae Hallmark JW Liked his size and overall shape, although good spring of rib and width to body. Good front and hind angulation, level topline and correct tail set. A good Gordon head shape with defined stop, low set ears and dark eyes. Would prefer clearer tan on front legs. Moved the best in this class. I found out he won his 3 rcc on the day to well done
