Windsor Dog Show Society

To say I was honoured to Judge the breed I love and am devoted to, at the prestigious Windsor KC is an understatement.  Firstly I would like to Thank the committee for inviting me and the Exhibitors who not only entered their dogs for me to assess but also took all of my decisions with great sportsmanship. Many of my decisions were not easy and some hard calls were made.  I was very keen to be able to get my hands on the dogs of our Mother country and I was not disappointed.  The quality was high with consistency, especially being compact and moderate with spring of rib and depth in body that are envious to me, although there were some that were carrying a little too much weight.  Good bone and correct feet were also very consistant as were balanced head pieces with good width of underjaw and soft expressions and correct coats.  Considering the heat of the day, the dogs (and handlers) performed very well and that gorgeous Merry temperament still shone through which certainly brings a smile to ones face.  

I have to say I was very proud to see my Best of Breed winner go through to Group 2 and my Best Puppy go 3rd Puppy in Group.  Huge Congratulations to all invovled!! 

 Areas that I feel need attention are the lack of fill in forefront, this is an area that I so hold of high importance and once lost is hard to get back.  Lets not forget the form and function of our beautiful breed and without prosternm there is less ability to do the job at hand.  There also seems to be a fashion of leaving excess hair on the front legs.  We all love new grooming techniques and this one to give the illusion of more bone and rounder, tighter feet looks great when done well, but be aware of the downfalls and how this extra hair looks whilst the dogs is moving and affecting the balanced look of the dog.  I did find that many had good bone and feet so the extra hair proved more of a hindrance than a benefit.  

I do applaud the breeders for their consistency in quality and I certainly went home with some new goals to set for my own breeding program.  Thank you again for bringing your dogs out for me to view them….I enjoyed every minute and will certainly hold this appointment dear to my heart.
