INDEPENDENT SPECIALTY JUDGE’S CRITIQUE

PETER GREEN

   Thanks for inviting me to judge your Specialty Show, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The venue and the weather made for a memorable day.

   My general impression was that there were some nice dogs to judge. The bitches were stronger than the males but that is usual in most breeds. Most common faults were upright shoulders and poor movement.

     Winners Dog was WESTRIDGE SALUTE TO THUROW. Just eighteen months and a very nice coat, very nice outline, moving well. He has a nice head and expression, well made shoulders and front, good topline and tail set. Won W.D. quite easily. Reserve Winners, the puppy dog LOCHLINEAR WISH UPON A STAR. 9 Month puppy with good conformation and shows well. He has a good head, good neck, with short body covered by a nice coat. With more time will be a very nice dog.

     Winners Bitch and Best of Winners DIUDREAM POSH OF PIZAZZ and Reserve Winners HARBOUR HILL PERFECT HOUSEWIFE were very similar in type. About the same size and outline. They had good coats. Good shaped heads with nice expressions. “Posh” was a little more mature in body and covered ground with a bit more style and ease.
