Scottish Kennel Club (Ocober) (16-05-2024)

First Place in Yearling - Bitch, Judge: Mr. Stewart Golding (Beaconpike)

Show Critique:

Sorry for delay in critiques, work commitments had to take priority. Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge the October show which was brought forward in conjunction with the May show. Thank you to my two stewards for keeping the ring running smoothly, which wasn’t easy with two shows running side by side. Thank you to the Exhibitors for a lovely entry and accepting my decisions in a sportsmanlike manner. I had some difficult decisions especially in the bitch classes where I just didn’t have enough cards to hand out. Coats from last time I judged had improved and it was a pleasure to see so many in correct double coat of depth. On the whole movement was good. I did find a couple of incorrect bites and one kinked tail

Class Critique:

A super class where I wish I had more cards to hand out

Placing Critique:

A nice bitch really liked her for size, good strong head and correct bite and strong jaw, dark eye and well-placed ears, good neck and shoulders, narrow front standing on neat feet with thick pads. Level topline with well set on short tail, shown in thick double coat with good pelt, moved out really well
