East of England Championship Dog Show (10-07-2010)

First Place in Limit - Dog

Show Critique:

Thanks to exhibitors for the entry, which thankfully, was undercover on such a very hot day.
I was surprised at the size of the Minor Puppy dogs, which were up to size at such a tender age. I was disappointed at the lack of foot and claw care on some exhibits ? feet not properly trimmed and claws much too long for a working breed or any breed shown at a Championship show. Shaved bellies are becoming more evident – why? It’s obvious and unattractive. There were too many single coated exhibits, and not enough clean ones. I was pleased with my winners.

Placing Critique:

Masculine red dog with super head and expression. Not overdone in any way. Good reach of neck flowing into great topline and tail set. Good dark eye and perfect scissor bite in a strong jaw. Had the tightest of jackets and was one of the best movers of the day. R.C.C.
