PORTUGUESE PODENGO CLUB OF GREAT BRITAIN.OPEN SHOW 4TH MAY 2019 JUDGE VIVIEN PHILLIPS

FIRSTLY, I SHOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CLUB FOR THEIR WARM HOSPITALITY AND ALSO MY HARD WORKING STEWARD.

IT IS SEVERAL YEARS SINCE I LAST JUDGED THE BREED. AT THAT TIME WITH AN ENTRY OF 55 50% WERE PUPPIES.. TODAY I WONDERED WHERE THESE PUPPIES HAVE ALL GONE, THE BREED HAS NOT MOVED FORWARD AS I WOULD HAVE HOPED. I WAS PLEASED WITH MY MAJOR WINNERS HOWEVER, THERE WERE SOME UPRIGHT SHOULDERS AND A FEW WITH SHORT RIBBING.. SOME TAIL SETS WERE RATHER LOW AND OTHERS CURLED OVER THE BACK. THESE POINTS SHOULD BE WATCHED BY THE BREEDERS. I FOUND NO BAD MOUTHS AND NO THROATINESS . ALL HAD GOOD STRONG FEET.
