JUDGE'S CRITIQUE

Veteran Dog (3 entries)
1st Gurney’s Monalou Russian Ambassador.
A good size dog with plenty of bone, strong broad head with well-defined stop and dark eye. A good depth of brisket, well angulated front and rear. Moved well.
2nd Wright & Kirk’s Materabern Good Friday.
Not as strong in the head as 1st. Well boned with a good depth of body. Slightly longer in the hocks, well angulated front and rear. Moved well for a dog of nearly 11 years. Wow, what an achievement to get him to this age and still be able to move around the ring.
3rd Grimes Stormberne Let It Snow.
Strong head with well-defined stop. A medium sized dog who presented a good overall picture. Not as good on the move as 1st and 2nd.



Minor Puppy Dog (2)
1st Edmundson & Hughes’ Liskarn Can’t Buy Me Love.
Good head shape, which is coming on well. Dark eye, correct bite. Enough bone for his age, good tail carriage. Movement a little erratic at the moment.
2nd Scott & Corrigan’s Mountain Crystal Silvanus To Scobern (Imp Hun)
Not quite the height of 1st, that said he is a nice shape with enough bone, well angulated all round. He let himself down on the move today, just needs to gain a bit more confidence.



Puppy Dog (2)
1st Spencer’s Bernolli Daniel Craig At Padiky (Imp Rus)
Medium sized with enough bone for his age. His head is coming on, dark eye and correct bite. Moved well around the ring, good tail carriage. Well presented. Best Puppy Dog.
2nd Copeland’s Kernow Dollar Promises At Maxjabar.
A very different shaped dog. Good head shape with defined stop. Plenty of body with good tail carriage. Unfortunately, he was a little unsound on the move.



Junior Dog (2 entries, 1 absentee)
1st Peacocke & Plant's Bobb Von Durrbachler Wald (Imp Nld).
Stood alone but deserved his place. He was out of coat today, which made him look a little long in the body. Good head shape with dark eye, correct bite and medium bone. He moved well but did carry his tail a little high.



Yearling Dog (3, 1)
1st Miles’ Jaybiem Only Making Plans.
Broad head with well-defined stop and dark eye. Plenty of bone, compact body, good depth of brisket. Well angulated all round. Moved well with good tail carriage.

Graduate Dog (4)
1st Atherton’s Valetinn Von Durrbachler Wald (Imp Nld).
