Full Critique for Extra Champ Show STC 2025
Judge : Mr Steve Brown
This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
| I’d like to thank the committee for asking me to judge at their show, and thanks to my stewards Sharon Rose and Helen Howard.And not forgetting Carly Turner for the amazing sponsorship she arranged from So Posh. Thank you all for such a lovely entry and I was so pleased with my final lineups. My thoughts on our breed are, wow haven’t tails improved, flat tails seemed to be in the minority. Substance was aplenty. Mouths, a little worry that although a level bite is perfectly acceptable in the standard, the finish of face is not there and the arrogant expression with a lack of chin can be lost. I had a few level mouths and a couple of overshot jaws unfortunately. |
