First Place in Open - Dog
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.
Quality dark grizzle dog, put down in superb condition. Correct size with a great head and typical expression. Good reach of neck onto clean, well angulated shoulders and when on the move he was driving well and parallel from strong well muscled hind quarters. Level topline and correct tailset which he held on the move. Pleased to see him pulled out in the last six of the terrier group. DCC & BOB.
