Manchester General Championship Show (19-01-2017)

First Place in Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Karen Dean (Tyrian)

Show Critique:

I would first like to thank the society for inviting me to judge and also my stewards for efficiently managing the ring. This is a particularly difficult time of year for coats especially with Crufts on the horizon, producing some results that would change on another day. Several exhibits lacked the harsh top coat and some were past their best resulting in good harshness but lack of undercoat so giving a thin feel to coat and particularly the pelt. I was a little disappointed in the number of exhibits that were not displaying the drive I was looking for and hope this is also due to the time of year. I was particularly pleased with both my CC and RCC winners especially in relation to their movement.

Placing Critique:

Mature looking 10 month old with nice head proportions. Straight front with nice amount of bone and neat feet. Well laid back shoulders. Dense harsh coat with carrot tail well set on. Covered the ground well. Best Puppy in Breed. Pleased to see her go puppy G4
