East of England Championship Show (06-07-2014)

First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Miss Jean Singh

Show Critique:

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.

Placing Critique:

lovely red grizzle dog, this dog was in excellent pin wire coat with undercoat evident. He was presented in first class condition. He has an excellent otter head, little stop, short strong muzzle with a good bite. He has good neck and shoulders, rib and a strong loin. He has correct angulation, excels in showmanship and presence. He is up to size, overall a pleasing dog.
