Selkirk & DCS Open Show (10-09-2017)

Second Place in Junior, Judge: Mrs N Anderson

Show Critique:

Many thanks to the club for the invite to judge at their 90th Anniversary show, it was a lovely well run show. Also thanks to my capable steward, Judy Carr who kept things running smoothly throughout. Thanks to all the exhibitors who entered on the day and accepted my decisions in a sporting way. All males were entire, no bad mouths or kinked tails. There was quite a variety in type on the day. The biggest issue was movement with many dogs swinging in front or pinning and lacking the drive from behind to follow a horse. I like my dogs in hard, fit condition and found many lacking in this area with little muscle tone. However I found some quality dogs and was delighted to see my BOB go TG1.

Placing Critique:

Another 16 month old G&T bitch. I absolutely loved her otter head. She had a small dark eye with a strong muzzle and jaw with a correct bite. She was built on racy lines with a good length of neck and spanned easily. She covered the ground well on the move , really driving just needs to tighten up a little in front to complete the package. Shame she lacked top coat as I liked her a lot.
