First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Miss Jean Singh
I would like to thank my stewards who kept the event running smoothly. My decisions were made on the exhibit on the day
I found heavy ears are creeping in, detracting from the otter head and keen expression. An excessive amount of exhibits were not in hard, toned condition. ‘Couch potato’ dogs come to mind. Front movement is also a cause for concern. I found two level mouths, one just level and a puppy , had a tooth out of line. My decision on some unplaced exhibits were a culmination of a long foreface and untypical expression, unspannable even though I gave some leeway and poor front movement.
Red grizzle, well developed otter head, correct ears with a short strong muzzle . He has large strong teeth and a correct bite, enough bone and neat feet. He was in good condition and well angulated producing good movement with plenty of drive from the rear. Although heavy in coat he was still spannable. The best mover in the class. BPD
