Bournemouth Canine Association

I would like to thank the officers & committee of Bournemouth Canine Society for the appointment to judge, I also thank the exhibitors for their entries. Since the last time I judged there has been improvement in both rear & front movement with more front extension evident within the breed today. On the downside handling of exhibits was not at its best with top quality exhibits being let down by their handlers. Teeth on some exhibits could also have done with a clean. I was very pleased with my principal winners & that we have some excellent youngsters coming through which bodes well for the future. PD(1) 1. Moles & Williams Celtannia Atlantic Gold. 11m old, lovely masculine head, dark eye & pigmentation, correct scissor bite. Excellent length of neck & shoulder placement, deep chest. A level topline with tail set on top. Excellent rear angulation & well-muscled. Best coat of the day for colour & texture. Moved with reach & drive, he stood out in the challenge so could not deny him DCC & BP. Thrilled to see him take PG2, a bright future ahead. JD (2) 1. Watkin & Snyder’s Calvenace Dizzy Coppertop. Presents an overall balanced outline. Strong Masculine head, correct scissor bite, alert expression. Adequate length of neck into very good shoulders. Level topline & good rear angulation.
