Cleveland Dog Society’s Open Show (21-02-2016)

First Place in Open, Judge: Mrs Lesley Gosling (Akinside)

Show Critique:

My thanks to the Society for its warm welcome and to exhibitors, as well as my friendly steward, who kept proceedings moving along.
Border coats varied considerably, bearing in mind that exhibitors want coats to be tiptop for Crufts. I didn’t penalise for lack of coat if texture was correct and evidence of top coat present. Fronts continue to be an issue, with some exhibits wide or toeing-in at the front.

Placing Critique:

good angulation behind, good feet and good jacket. Moved out well. Spannable. Typical head with dark eye, correct scissor bite. BoB
