Scottish Kennel Club

Breed: Italian Greyhound

My thanks go to the committee of SKC for giving me the opportunity to judge this lovely breed for the first time with CCs. I would also like to thank my stewards and the exhibitors for giving me the privilege of going over their dogs. Although the entry wasn’t large it was a quality entry and it was interesting to learn afterwards that all my main winners (DCC,RDCC, BCC & RBCC) were all sired by the same dog.

JB (2,0a)

1st: HARDIE, Miss R M Albalevriero Corriebeg This 17 month old bitch has strong fine bone, an elongated skull and dark eyes; she has the correct topline and well bent stifles. She is still only young but would benefit from a deeper chest, she moved freely and with drive and had good breed type.

2nd: BRUNDTLAND, Ms Ingun Velvethound Lily. A 16 month old bitch with rose ears, lovely dark bright eyes and length to the muzzle, however I would prefer stronger bone and more width all through. This bitch was not showing to advantage today as she was tending to move with her head down.
