First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mrs. P. McLellan (Breconbeds)
My thanks to the committee and members for giving me the opportunity to judge this show, with such an excellent entry. However, I’m sorry to say that I was alarmed to see so many dogs that were short in both rib and leg, resulting in short backed and cobby looking dogs with deep briskets. I also observed that some of these same dogs had pleasant enough heads but carried very small teeth.
Movement was a major concern; decent enough dogs to examine but poor fronts on the move spoiled the whole picture – toeing in and/or with incorrect shoulder angulation. Some were really wide in front.
This bitch had everything I was looking for. She was beautifully balanced and well constructed. A lovely bitch to go over, she had the best of jackets. Super feminine head and expression. Good length of back into well angulated hindquarters. Moved out effortlessly BCC & BiS. I understand this made her up today.
