Bitches Critique
I
would like to thank the committee for their invitation to judge bitches and for
their excellent hospitality throughout the day.
I
was pleased with my overall winners however feel that some points need
attention, a number of bitches where too
fine and lacked bone and substance, I
found a lot with little or no depth in fore
chest, movement especially the rear, was varied, quite a few
moving close behind lacking strength in muscle
and drive.

JUDGES REPORT
As Referee I was asked to make the final
decision for Best in Show. This I found in Butler-Holley’s Shandwick Promise. A stylish dog who oozed quality and
charm. Just the right size for me. He presented a delightful picture of breed
type combined with strength and athleticism. Masculine head with nothing
overdone. Kindest of keen expressions. Compact body and best of fronts. Well
developed rear assembly and plenty of muscletone. He
moved with drive and purpose and made a stunning picture overall. Reserve
Best in Show was Richie’s Slapstones Mouna JW. A delightfully ultra feminine lady with much to
like about her. She presents a picture of glamour combined with style and breed
type. Balanced throughout with lovely body shape and strong quarters. Sound
steady driving action on the move. Presented in beautiful coat and condition. Brace.
1st Barclay’s Cherryheath
mother & son combination. Beautifully matched pair. Superb in head and
body with correct outline and rise over loin. Plenty of substance, bone and
muscle. Precise co-ordinated movement. Sound throughout. 2nd Blackford’s Amberlight duo.
Pleasing pair with delightful attitude. Smaller in make than winners. Sound
movers but not quite as outgoing. Special Breeders. 1st
Barclay’s trio of stylish sound movers. Pleasing in head shape and plenty of
rib and muscle. Well developed rear assembly enabling them to drive round the
ring covering the ground with ease. Presented in immaculate coats and
condition.
