First Place in Post Graduate - 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:

This dog stood out in this class and caught my eye as soon as he entered the ring, handy size dog, good in head, neat ears and correct bite, narrow front, good topline and tail set, racy hindquarters, shown in correct double coat, he moved out true.
