Second Place in Post Graduate - 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.
smaller made than the winner, he has good bone and was presented in a harsh coat. He has a masculine head with a strong muzzle. He has good ear placement but his light eyes spoilt his expression. His rear movement was acceptable but his front movement let him down.
