MISS FASINATION 

Firstly I would like to thank the Officers and Committee I had a really enjoyable day.

Thank you to my three ring stewards and to all the Society's members and exhibitors for allowing me the pleasure of judging my first breed club appointment.

There are one or two points I would like to mention about the overall quality of the dogs. One of my main concerns was the condition or lack of in many of the exhibits. A lot of dogs were overweight and soft thus resulting in poor body shape and lack of definition. This can be forgiven to a certain extent in Bitches but there is no excuse for Dogs! We must remember that the breed standard calls for muscular, active and agile these attributes were clearly lacking in some.

Coat condition, length and cleanliness were also a concern – many were lacking short close coats. We should make sure we are exhibiting clean well presented dogs – this includes teeth!

Many of the dogs presented had very overloaded shoulders and a distinct lack of rib.

I was however very pleased with all my principal winners each of which was shown in great condition and displaying all the virtues one would expect to find.

DOGS 

MINOR PUPPY DOG

1ST "BENJERRIES BLUSTERS" Very promising black brindle pup of 7 mths. Clean head with ample strength to foreface & depth & width to skull. Set with correctly placed neat ears.

BPD & BPIS

Well handled.

POST GRADUATE BITCH 

1ST "TRUFFLESTAFF TOFFEE TRUFFLE" JW Absolutely striking well balanced pied brindle, with a wicked expression, shown in excellent toned condition. Lovely shaped head with strength to muzzle complimented with enough width and depth to skull. Neat well placed ears, darkest of eyes. Correct mouth, short strong neck, excellent shoulder placement and plenty of depth to brisket – lovely clean front (owner should be careful not to stand her too wide at front as this can detract a little) Short coupled, level topline leading to strong muscular hindquarters, short close coat & neat tail carriage.
