York Canine Association (31-07-2016)

Second Place in Post Graduate, Judge: Mrs Elizabeth Barrett (Howthwaite)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank York Canine Association for inviting me to judge their 125th anniversary show. Thank you also for the great hospitality and to my efficient ring stewards. I had an excellent entry of quality dogs to go over and would like to thank all of the exhibitors for their entries. Unfortunately with only three mixed sex classes, some very good dogs had to stand down the line, but all of my card winners had the attributes I look for.

Placing Critique:

Litter brother of 1 and the masculine version of her. Not quite as narrow through the front as his sister but with good shoulders. Well ribbed back with a good length of body. Excellent topline and tailset. Strong hocks and hindquarters. Shown in an excellent tweedy harsh topcoat with good undercoat and thick pelt. Moved well.
