Full Critique for Scottish KC (All Breeds) 2014
Judge : Mrs Louise Farnworth
This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
I would like to thank everyone who travelled for this show, your entries were much appreciated. I must also apologise for the time constraints put upon us, by the late start. Some excellent dogs, mouths were very mixed, some excellent, some jumbled and a few narrow. Some exhibitors need to pay more attention to top knots. This can make or break an expression. Placement of shoulders always has an enormous effect on front movement, well laid back shoulders gives a reach at the front, this was lacking in some exhibits. |
