East of England Championship Dog Show (10-07-2010)

Second Place in Graduate - Dog

Show Critique:

Thanks to exhibitors for the entry, which thankfully, was undercover on such a very hot day.
I was surprised at the size of the Minor Puppy dogs, which were up to size at such a tender age. I was disappointed at the lack of foot and claw care on some exhibits ? feet not properly trimmed and claws much too long for a working breed or any breed shown at a Championship show. Shaved bellies are becoming more evident – why? It’s obvious and unattractive. There were too many single coated exhibits, and not enough clean ones. I was pleased with my winners.

Placing Critique:

Dark grizzle dog in hard condition and although very similar type to the winner I preferred the head of the winner.
