First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mandy Holmes (Bimandi)

Show Critique:

Many Thanks to WELKS for asking me to judge at their show, it was an honour, also thank you so much to everyone that entered under me, I had some great dogs to go over. Congratulation to all my winners. Thanks also go to my very competent stewards for keeping my ring running smoothly.
All the males were entire. Apart from 3 level bites all mouths were correct and teeth of good size. Temperaments were all sound except one or two that really didn’t like being in the noisy hall and were a little bit subdued. It’s hard to judge true movement on a slippery concrete floor and in some classes the placings could have changed if we had been outside on grass.

Placing Critique:

Very well balanced young male with ring presents. Correct ottery head with keen expression. Good length of rib with firm top line and strong rear quarter. Angles front and rear very good. Coat harsh, pelt thick and loose, easy to span. Moved with reach and drive but needed to settle on the move which he did in the puppy challenge and in the group. Pleased to award him Best Puppy. One to watch in the future
