Birmingham Dog Show Society Ltd

I would like to express my thanks to the committee for the invitation to judge, the stewards for all of their help and the exhibitors for bringing their lovely dogs for me to assess. Overall I thought that the quality was good but I was disappointed with the front movement on so many of the dogs.

SBD (1,0a)

1st: 4413 MEACHAM, M/S Ann Jayberry Cheekie Chappie in Khanor. This two year old tricolour had large ears with fringing, a scissor bite, dark eyes and pigment; he was in reasonable coat and he moved OK but I would prefer finer bone. BSB

MPD (5,2a)

1st: WHITEHILL, Mrs M Amicae Top of the Class. A promising tricolour puppy, just 6 months old who had a pleasing head with a finely pointed muzzle, rounded skull, scissor bite, correct tail set and carriage and a silky coat which is coming in nicely. He moved freely and was the best mover in the class.

ND (1,0a)
