First Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mrs. P. McLellan (Breconbeds)
My thanks to the committee and members for giving me the opportunity to judge this show, with such an excellent entry. However, I’m sorry to say that I was alarmed to see so many dogs that were short in both rib and leg, resulting in short backed and cobby looking dogs with deep briskets. I also observed that some of these same dogs had pleasant enough heads but carried very small teeth.
Movement was a major concern; decent enough dogs to examine but poor fronts on the move spoiled the whole picture – toeing in and/or with incorrect shoulder angulation. Some were really wide in front.
A lovely 6mth old puppy. I liked her very much. Everything was in proportion – size, head, body length….Good harsh jacket and a straight narrow front. Well angulated quarters and she moved out well on thickly padded feet. BPB & BP.
