BITCHES CRITIQUE - ERIC CARTER. It was an honour to be asked to judge the Bitch
classes in place of Mr Arnold Leadbitter, who sadly died
earlier this year. White of eyes were still prominent in
many dogs, also mouths have not improved since I last judged
the breed. Many of the bitches were too masculine and please
try not to breed them too big.
