SOUTH EASTERN WELSH SPRINGER
SPANIEL CLUB
OPEN SHOW HELD ON 29TH
JANUARY 2023
I want to thank the committee of the SEWSSC for the invitation to judge the Breed Open Show on Sunday, 29th January 2023. It was the second time I judged this show and again a good atmosphere and kind people. I found a lot of differences in type, some were up to size, some too elegant.
Overall all Welsh walked “easy” through the ring. Bites were much better than on the show I judged in 2015. To be critical the heads and construction in front needs the most attention. What I found in all Welsh was the soft, sweet expression, so typical for the breed.
