Border Union June 2022

I would like to thank the Officers and Committee for the invitation to judge Dobermanns at their 2022 championship show. I would also like to thank all the exhibitors for entering during these challenging times, and the sporting manner shown during and after the show. In general UK Dobermann’s are in quite good shape, although, heads and forequarters are still disappointing.

Minor Puppy Dog

1st Place Tuwos Mr Bombastic RAF NAF (Mr W Henderson)

Super smart puppy. Presents a pleasing picture in profile, blunt wedge-shaped head, with parallel planes, long lean neck, super short firm top line and correct tail set. Hindquarters are faultless, well filled croup for a youngster, long well bent stifle, and super strong hocks. Moved well with powerful rear drive. I’m sure he will have a bright future.

2nd Place Tuwos Mr Majestik Vonsallate (Mr G & Miss M Hunt & Flitcroft)

Litter brother to the class winner with similar attributes, slightly stronger head and little more bone and substance. He had trouble settling on the move. Again, this puppy will go a long way once he settles.
