Full Critique for WELKS 2006
Judge : Mrs Pat Gregory
This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
| I was extremely pleased with my top placings & in both challenges moved away showing evenly spaced legs and full pads I understand both gained their titles on the day. Although I am not a mouth fanatic I was amazed by the vast amount of bad mouths i.e. four in front & two behind or even worst, but my biggest worry is the front construction in some cases it was difficult to fit three fingers between the legs, then when coming towards me were centring towards the middle and a couple practically crossing their front legs. This is a bad fault that will have to be watched out for in the future and hopefully rectified in one’s breeding programme. However, I thoroughly enjoyed my day where presentation was excellent. |
