Full Critique for WELKS 2018
Judge : Mrs Betty Williams
This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
| Thank you to the committee for the invitation to judge this breed, and their hospitality. Also, to my stewards for their support and expertise keeping things flowing and to time. I found the breed to have improved in dentition in the younger exhibits, presentation was on the whole very good. Some movement is lacking rear drive. I would be disappointed to see outline and balance to decline further. I make no apologies for my top winners, I am aware that I have awarded to this kennel before. I my opinion they are producing consistent type and quality exhibits. As I have not been around the show ring for some time I was surprised to learn that the Dog and Bitch C.C winners are Litter brother and sister. The winning they have done speaks for its self. |
