Leeds Championship Show
24th Jul 2025
Judge: Mr Peter Armstrong (Atron)
I would first like to thank the Officers and Committee of Leeds City & District Canine Association Championship Show for inviting me to judge at their show, and for the hospitality shown to me on the day. However, most of all, thank you to all the exhibitors for providing me with such a quality entry to assess on this, my first appointment in the breed at this level. I had the privilege of going over so many quality dogs that difficult decisions often had to be made. As always, coats were at different stages, sometimes reflected in the placings, but coats come and go, construction does not. I did not discern any kinked tails and no bad temperaments were apparent. The adequately sized ring however was quite difficult for the exhibitors to circumnavigate, with varying gradients, going uphill away from the judge, coming back downhill but with another gradient across the ring to cope with as well. There were several bumps and hollows in the ring as well, in places which made standing your exhibit to best effect not quite so easy. Many astute exhibitors realising this changed their handling technique to cater for this, some did not

Placing Critique
7 month old grizzle dog of good size. Owns a typical otter shaped head, short strong muzzle and ample length of neck flowing into well placed shoulders. Deep and narrow body. Spanned easily with ribs carried well back. A lovely level topline and correctly set on tail resulting in a pleasing clean overall outline with a really good underline. Racy well-muscled hindquarters which he used to advantage driving around the ring. Shown in dense harsh coat and a thick pelt. Moved well with determination around the ring showing good forward reach.

Clean through neck, lovely front assembly and clean topline. Ribbed well back . Racey rear quarters, would like a little more angulation to finish the picture. Sporting a jacket that is coming through well.
