LEEDS CHAMPIONSHIP DOG SHOW. BORZOIS JUDGE VIVIEN PHILLIPS.

THANK YOU TO THE VERY EFFICIENT COMMITTEE FOR THE INVITATION TO JUDGE THIS LOVELY BREED, WHICH DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, LIKE MANY JUDGES, I HAVE NOT JUDGED FOR A WHILE.

A BIG SHOUT OUT TO MY TWO WONDERFUL STEWARDS WHO WERE SUPER EFFICIENT.

I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH MY MAIN WINNERS BUT FOUND SOME UPRIGHT SHOULDERS. A FEW ROUND EYES A COUPLE OF LEVEL BITES AND MANY DIRTY TEETH. IN A BREED SUCH AS THIS WHERE THE CANINES PARTICULARLY ARE LARGE THERE IS NO REASON WHY TEETH CANNOT BE KEPT CLEAN. FRONT AND HIND MOVEMENT WAS OFTEN CLOSE AND LACKING IN DRIVE IN SOME INSTANCES. COAT CONDITIONS WERE GOOD. SADLY FOR A HUNTING DOG SOME FLAT FEET AND SOME NAILS NEEDED ATTENTION.
