York Canine Association (31-07-2016)

Second Place in Puppy, Judge: Mrs Elizabeth Barrett (Howthwaite)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank York Canine Association for inviting me to judge their 125th anniversary show. Thank you also for the great hospitality and to my efficient ring stewards. I had an excellent entry of quality dogs to go over and would like to thank all of the exhibitors for their entries. Unfortunately with only three mixed sex classes, some very good dogs had to stand down the line, but all of my card winners had the attributes I look for.

Placing Critique:

Grizzle and tan, litter brother to one but of a different stamp. Strong short muzzle, good bite, dark eye and neat ears. Nice bone standing on well padded feet. Excellent topline and tailset. Strong loin and powerful hindquarters which he used well on the move. Thick undercoat and pelt but unfortunately no topcoat today. Active on the move and well handled.
