Richmond Championship Dog Show (11-09-2022)

Second Place in Special Beginners - Bitch, 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:

Slightly smaller bitch. Good dense harsh coat. Correct bone and feet. Moderate rear and moved well enough. Well set tail and carriage.
