First Place in Post Graduate, 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.
2 year old G&T bitch. Pleasing head and expression , good dentition and strength to jaw line … Ears small and well set to good effect
…Easy transition through correct length neck , to good shoulder
angles and nice narrow front , standing on small tight feet that
were well cushioned. Correct flat ribs, carried well back with
acceptable loin , over which a loose pelt and super new jacket
were the topping . Shame that her underline was a tad more
tucked up than desired and it was made slightly worse by being
shaved back to the skin in that area. Moved well ..
