First Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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. This puppy has quality throughout. She has a lovely feminine head, neat ears, short strong muzzle and a good bite. Pleasing outline with a level topline and carrot tail. She has correct bone, neat feet and good ribs and spannable. Her front was straight, good angulation and movement was sound. She responded to her handler well. BP BCC BOB
