EAST OF ENGLAND
Judge: Mrs E Grewcock
Due to large numbers of this beautiful breed being docked as is preferred by people who work their dogs, the entry was affected & notlarge. It was an honour to award CCs in this breed which I have loved since owning one in 1974, & I was pleased with my winners. Myprinciple winners were fine examples of this breed & there were also some very promising youngsters just needing time to mature.
Puppy Dog (2,1). 1 Court’s Ballyheige Burretionkentia, 10 months, good head proportions, clean neck of correct length. Looking alittle high on the leg at the moment & needs more depth of brisket. Needs time to mature in body proportions. BPD.J
unior Dog (3). 1 Mould & Bird’s Koolwaters Cream Cracker, I am sure it will be said again but what a cracker. Good head &expression. Correct body proportions & coat texture. Strong neck, level topline. Good angles fore & aft, which he puts to good use on themove. Will watch this dog as he matures. Should have a bright future; 2 Knowles & Glen’s Wilholme I Gotta Feelin for Bessalone,much younger than my winner & looking a little heavier. Not so clean lines just needs time to grow into his frame; 3 Rose & Hunt’sKavacanne Gale Force Wind.
