City of Birmingham Championship Dog Show (30-08-2014)

Second Place in Graduate - Dog, Judge: Dr Ron Wheatley

Show Critique:

My thanks to the committee for their invitation to judge here, to my two very effective and helpful stewards Jane Keeves and Alan Tomlinson, and to the exhibitors for the large and interesting entry of many different types. Many of the classes had quality in depth, with many close decisions. Both line ups were pleasing with plenty of choice and close decisions for both cards. I found no kinky tails and one level mouth, most exhibits were of a good size, a few were too heavy and one undernourished, and many needed their nails trimming. Most moved well in the super sized ring that we were given.

Placing Critique:

good size with correct rib, preferred head of 1, moved well;
