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

First Place in Junior - Bitch, 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:

a nice bitch of pleasing size, in good condition. Her coat was of good texture and undercoat was evident. She has a level topline and correct tailset, balanced throughout. She has a good reach of neck and is spannable. Her head was feminine with a lovely dark eye and strong muzzle, however she may benefit from slightly less furnishings. Moved soundly.
