Richmond Championship Dog Show (11-09-2022)

Second Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mr J A Barney (Romaunt)

Show Critique:

Many thanks to Richmond in giving me the opportunity to judge a breed that still has some depth in quality to it. Generally, I felt movement needs to be attended to. It’s a breed I’ve always associated with true movement both ways and a number did tend to pin in front. Coat texture was pretty good throughout but some would benefit from slightly neater presentation. I was able to span nearly all exhibits and pelts good. At the moment I would say that bitches are far stronger than the males.

Placing Critique:

Correct dentition. Masculine head with a keen expression. Balanced proportions with correct V shaped ear. Like a little cleaner through the shoulder and lay. Good topline into a well constructed rear. Correct coat and harsh texture. Moved out well with correct tail carriage and set.
