Bakewell Show (02-08-2017)

First Place in Open, Judge: Mr Colin Powell (Bowtman)

Show Critique:

Had a very good entry for this supported breed, only to be hampered by some of the worst condition I have ever judged in.
Had to be towed of the field before I started judging, traffic tall backs went on for hours even though the show was delayed for half an hour.
Felt sorry for the organizers and exhibiters alike, a lot of absentees and late arrivals,
On another day with kind weather, placing could be quiet different has a lot of dogs didn’t want to be outside in a ring with no cover and foul weather conditions.
Dog were good in general no bad mouths some with no coats, and soft muscle tone, and a few unspannable.

Placing Critique:

B. A balanced bitch that was keen and alert at all times, her performance in the ring was outstanding when a lot of exhibits didn’t want to stand or show in this weather, movement was free and easy with plenty of drive, good pelt, coat and spannable nice topline and set on, weather didn’t bother her one bit, B.O.B. & Group 3.
