Second Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Miss Jean Singh
I would like to thank my stewards who kept the event running smoothly. My decisions were made on the exhibit on the day
I found heavy ears are creeping in, detracting from the otter head and keen expression. An excessive amount of exhibits were not in hard, toned condition. ‘Couch potato’ dogs come to mind. Front movement is also a cause for concern. I found two level mouths, one just level and a puppy , had a tooth out of line. My decision on some unplaced exhibits were a culmination of a long foreface and untypical expression, unspannable even though I gave some leeway and poor front movement.
8 months, a nice sized puppy, with a racy outline, he was show with a pin wire coat and has a good pelt. He has good rib and was spannable. His rear movement was acceptable but front movement needs to settle down.
