Yeovil & District Canine Society Open Show (13-05-2023)

First Place in Limit, Judge: Mrs Sue Baxter (Mysulan/Sulan)

Show Critique:

Thank you to the committee for the kind invitation to judge today , also to my stewards who kept things moving along nicely, your help was much appreciated. A big thank you to all the exhibitors for allowing me to go over your dogs and accepting my decisions
in a sporting manner. General observations were, no kinked tails found and the males were intact . I did see a few animals with slightly untidy bites affecting some placings. On the subject of ring presentation I may suggest that perhaps some animals would have benefitted from more attention being paid to nail clipping and feet trimming … even with the long grass, once on the table the feet are very visible. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and had a quality bunch of Borders before me. Thank you to everyone who made it possible !

Placing Critique:

5 year old grizzle bitch , handy size and pleasant to go over . Head is strong but still feminine . Nice dark and well shaped eye , plenty of muzzle strength and fill under the eye. A little short on coat today but texture is present .Moves well on the out and back and on the go round.
