Open Show 23rd September 2023

My thanks to the Club for its invitation to judge the Open Show held in conjunction with the Ch show I thoroughly enjoyed my day amongst a good quality entry of Tibbies and the sportsmanship of the exhibitors in accepting my decisions.The floor surface at this venue is superb and allows exhibits to really step out to demonstrate positive action. A general observation of the breed is that pigment was excellent as was temperament.There were a few exhibits where teeth could been seen when the mouth was closed. My biggest disappointment was the lack of harefeet far too many round on display When judging you need to take the dog as a whole and forgive certain deficiencies.

What a class to start my day and a super advert for the breed

1 Bevis’ Ch MALIA THE NEXT VERSE BY STARLANCE JW,ShCM ,VW, dark red with black overlay.he has a most appealing masculine head, nicely cushioned muzzle, bright expressive eyes. Strong neck and a very well ribbed body with level topline.Well muscled quarters. Well presented coat. Going away he moves soundly with a very positive action, coming on he is a tad wide in front but at nearly 14 is something that can be forgiven.
