Full Critique for STC Summer Open Show 2023
Judge : Mr Alan Dredge
This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
| I would like to thank the society for giving me the opportunity and pleasure of judging this glorious breed. I can honestly say, I had a great day and everyone, committee, officers and my able steward were very welcoming. The only bug bear of day was a couple of the exhibits weren’t as clean as I would expect from this coated breed which usually pride itself on glamour and presentation, although overall most were in fabulous condition and a pleasure to go over. Due to it being a combined show with a championship show in conjunction, I started with the bitches. |
