BITCH RESULTS

Dog Critique – Mr B Limpus

I would like to thank the officers & committee for the kind invitation to judge this prestigious show. I was disappointed in the lack of muscle in a lot of the exhibits. Our dogs are a happy bunch who like free running, please give them exercise to build muscle and move correctly in the ring, handlers are also running dogs to fast and close to their body around the ring. Dogs move far better and truer on a loose lead and away from handler, allowing the judge to access correct movement. I would like to thank my two stewards for keeping the ring running smoothly. I found two bad bites, presentation on the whole was good. I was pleased with my principle placing.
