Open Show - 10th August 2014

My thanks to the committee for their kind invitation and to all exhibitors that braved the horrendous weather on the day to make it to the show. I was pleased with my entry figures and all my winners were sound and well muscled. As a non specialist I look for strong well built dog that is capable and fit enough to do a good days work without tiring. All present here today were well toned and excellent temperaments and credit to their owners.

Novice Dog (1)

1. Sidwell’s - Fowlerheight Benjarmi 2 ½ year old dark brindle. Good head shape although ears could be better set on. Strong neck into shoulders that are a bit too steep for me. Deep in chest. Well sprung in rib. Movement was somewhat restricted due to forehand being a bit steep and as such lacked the reach to match his hard driving action.

Post Grad Dog (3, 2 abs)

2. Roberts’ - Joybull Stare If You Dare. close up to winner with many of the same remarks in that her head is balanced and clean, but her ears need to settle.
