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

First Place in Junior - Dog, 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:

A good honest border, strong masculine head with good bite, good length of body with well set on tail, moved out well in the class but was very unsettled in the challenge. He was later awarded Best SB
