Full Critique for Leeds 2018
Judge : Mrs Hazel Fitzgibbon
This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
| My thanks to the Officers and Committee for inviting me to judge this breed for the first time at CC level - a great honour which I had been looking forward to. It was a very hot day and one had to take into account that the ground was quite rough in places which didn’t always allow for smooth movement. On the whole I felt that mouths were better in the bitches and there were some correct pro-sternums amongst the males. Temperaments were excellent throughout. Thank you all very much for your entry. |
