Midland Counties Canine Society 27-10-2022 Hungarian Vizsla

I like to thank the officers and members of the committee for the kind offer of this judging appointment. An appointment which was originally for 2020, but due to COVID was not completed until this year. I was ably assisted by two extremely competent stewards, who efficiently kept proceeding in order and running smoothly. I had a limited amount of time to assess with an entry of over 100 and we were second in the ring, following WHV, and only commencing at lunchtime. Generally I would have liked to have seen more depth of brisket and width to forechest, breed specific qualities such as fine leathers, median line to skull, effortless light ground covering movement which were sadly lacking and I found a couple of less than perfect bites. There were some difficult decisions and I was happy with my class winners. I apologise for sounding repetitive but these were the qualities I was looking for. Thank you to all the exhibitors for entering & excepting my placings.
