First Place in Junior, Judge: Mrs Sue Baxter (Mysulan)
First of all , sincere thanks go to Hilary and the committee for the
kind invitation to judge BT’s at this show and thanks to Kevin my
steward who kept things moving along nicely. Also I have grateful
thanks for the exhibitors who not only allowed me the opportunity
to go over their dogs but accepted my decisions in a sporting
manner.
General comments are as follows , I didn’t find any bad mouths
or kinked tails and coats were at differing stages of growth which
is quite normal . I would like to add that during examination of the
dogs on the table that it is not helpful for the owner to be feeding
or allowing the dog to lick at a treat constantly , attempting to
check the bite becomes almost impossible and adds to the
confusion for the dog, owner and judge, please keep this practice
for the training room and not in the show ring.
A handy sized 17 month old grizzle Bitch. Expression and head quite pleasing . Neck and shoulders angles and configuration I found acceptable , not front
heavy . Underline was nice with an absence of visible tuck up
Coat and pelt both good .Topline was a little uneven but finished
off with a lovely small carroty tail . Second thigh could have been
a little more developed but on the whole moved soundly
