1st Open Dog Or Bitch
Upper medium-sized bitch but of such excellent quality. She displays such obvious balance and beautiful breed type. Well off for bone and substance. Loved her clean cut head with dark almond shaped eyes. Always on her toes and using her ears well. Excellent forehand with good forechest and deep brisket - would not want her presented any heavier. Good spring of rib with short loin. Enough rear angulation, standing on firm hocks. She stands firm and true from all angles. Demonstrates such a springy action on the go-round carrying her tail correctly with sound front/hind action. BOB

1st Open Dog Or Bitch
Three year old bitch, when she entered the ring you could see why she is a champion, she is the perfect example of a Duck Toller, from her foot perfect movement that is powerful around the ring, to her head that is clean cut and wedge shaped but also has the feminine touch you'd want to make it not harsh like a dog. She is a well deserving champion and it was an honour to go over. BoB
