First Place in Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mr Graham Richardson (Staynorwood)
Firstly i would like to thank Windsor Championship Dog Show for the invitation to Judge at their show. Thank you also to all those that entered and allowed me to judge their dogs on what was an exceptionally hot day for both exhibitor and dogs.
I had some quality dogs to judge and on another day some placings could easily be swapped around. I was more than happy with my top award winners. It was a pleasure to watch the Group judging and see my B.O.B, Best Veteran and Best Special Beginners placed in their respective groups.
In general I found the majority of dogs to be in a good fit condition. I did find 2 or 3 dogs with kinked tails. I would also ask that exhibitors refrain from giving dogs tit bits as the judge is trying to check mouths. nothing wrong with baiting your dogs but not while trying to check mouths. Also one or two exhibitors trying to hold onto the dog as though they are trying to restrict you assessing them.
Well balanced feminine pup, lovely otter head with dark eye. Neat well placed ears, correct bite with good sized teeth. Excellent reach of neck leading into well set shoulders with straight front , spanable with good length of body. Harsh double jacket with thick loose pelt, level top line which was maintained on the move. neat carrot tail with well angulated rear. Stood on neat small feet . moved out excellently around the ring . Was very pleased to award her Best puppy in breed.
