First Place in Puppy, Judge: Mrs Sue Baxter (Mysulan)
First of all , sincere thanks go to Hilary and the committee for the
kind invitation to judge BT’s at this show and thanks to Kevin my
steward who kept things moving along nicely. Also I have grateful
thanks for the exhibitors who not only allowed me the opportunity
to go over their dogs but accepted my decisions in a sporting
manner.
General comments are as follows , I didn’t find any bad mouths
or kinked tails and coats were at differing stages of growth which
is quite normal . I would like to add that during examination of the
dogs on the table that it is not helpful for the owner to be feeding
or allowing the dog to lick at a treat constantly , attempting to
check the bite becomes almost impossible and adds to the
confusion for the dog, owner and judge, please keep this practice
for the training room and not in the show ring.
9 month old B&T girl .A confident puppy with a lot to like … Smart feminine
head and expression with nice jaw strength and under eye fill ,
mouth furnished with appropriate size teeth. Smooth transition
through neck and shoulders, pleasing angles fore and aft . Good coat texture and nice loose pelt.Ribbed well back and with a
complimentary loin Topline and tail set good . Held her shape
both stacked and on the move . Front movement needs to tighten
up a little , which, I’m sure will improve with age.Gave a very good
performance in the challenge and was pleased to award her
BPiB and reserve BOB. Congratulations on your Puppy Group 2 !
