Guildford & District Canine Society Open Show (07-10-2023)

Second Place in Post Graduate, Judge: Mrs Sue Baxter (Mysulan)

Show Critique:

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.

Placing Critique:

another 2 year old G&T bitch ..super headpiece , with great back skull width
,muzzle strength and fill under the lovely dark eyes. Differing in
type to #1 , much stockier ,which in turn makes for a little deeper
in the brisket and extra width in the shoulders. Her jacket was
pretty full and contributed to her somewhat heavier appearance
Her ribs and loin were ok and pelt acceptable . Movement was
good on the go round and absolutely true on the out and back
