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

First Place in Limit - 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

Placing Critique:

Outstanding bitch that is not overdone, true otter like head with correct bite, dark eye and thick well placed ears, good reach of neck flowing into well placed shoulders, narrow front, good length of rib and strong loin, just right for size and spanned with ease, level topline with well set on short tail, racy rear quarters which showed in her drive as she moved round the ring with ease, shown in lovely double coat with thick pelt which just completed the picture, delighted to award her the BCC and BOB she is a credit to her breeder.
