WINDSOR DOG SHOW. 2ND JULY 2023. BASSET HOUNDS. JUDGE VIVIEN PHILLIPS

FIRSTLY I MUST APOLOGISE TO EXHIBITORS FOR THE LONG WAIT TO START BEING JUDGED. AS THOSE WHO WERE PRESENT KNOW, THIS WAS TOTALLY OUT OF MY CONTROL WITHOUT BEING DISCOURTEOUS I SIMPLY COULD NOT HAVE JUDGED FASTER WITH THE TIME I HAD BEFORE THE GROUP WAS CALLED.

I LAST JUDGED BASSET HOUND MALES NEARLY 4 YEARS AGO AT THE BASSET HOUND CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW AND AT THE TIME I WAS ENCOURAGED BY THE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE BREED. LOOSE EYES , EXCESSIVE FACIAL LOOSE SKIN AND SOME TOO LOW TO GROUND HAD ALL BUT DISAPPEARED. SADLY TODAY I FOUND THAT IN SOME CASES THE BREED HAS REGRESSED.THERE WERE SOME LOOSE EYES EVEN IN YOUNGSTERS.. FLAT FEET. A FEW LEVEL BITES AND SOME HOUNDS WERE TOO HEAVY WITH EXCESSIVE LOOSE SKIN AND VERY LITTLE DAYLIGHT BENEATH THEM. HAVING SAID THAT I WAS DELIGHTED WITH MY MAIN WINNERS AND HOPE IT WAS CLEAR AS TO WHAT I WAS LOOKNG FOR IN MY PLACEMENTS.
