First Place in 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.
Blue and Tan with ticking evident. This puppy has a pleasing head, correct bite and a strong muzzle. His coat was of good texture with a thick pelt and was easily spanned. He has a good length of neck and a nice outline. He won this class on front movement.
