First Place in Junior - 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.
This dog has a good otter head, dark eye and a keen expression with well placed ears. He is a handy size and was spannable. His coat could have done with a couple of more weeks but what was there was of pin wire texture. His front was straight and has correct bone with good feet. He was presented in good condition with second thigh evident. He has a pleasing outline and good tail carriage. He moved with purpose and drive. DCC
