WELSH KENNEL CLUB BASSET FAUVE DE BRETAGNE. 19TH AUGUST 2023 JUDGE VIVIEN PHILLIPS

IT IS 7 YEARS SINCE I LAST JUDGED THIS BREED AND I HAVE TO SAY I WAS CONCERNED BY THE STANDARD WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE REGRESSED, WITH SOME EXHIBITS BEING TOO SHORT ON LEG AND WITH SHORT UPPER ARMS. TAIL CARRIAGES ON A COUPLE OF EXHIBITS MUCH TOO HIGH.. OVERALL TEMPERAMENTS WERE GOOD AND I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH MY PRINCIPLE WINNERS.

VETERAN DOG (2 ENTRIES) ABS: 0 1ST: LEECH’S CH & IR CH GAVELKIND CONQUISTADOR BY JAMCHALA VW. SUPER MALE OF GOOD TYPE. 7 YEAR OLD. HE HAS A LOVELY HEAD WITH CORRECT EARS AND THE STRONG NOT TOO LONG NECK REQUIRED. SUPER RIBBING AND STRONG HINDQUARTERS WITH CORRECT TAIL SET AND CARRIAGE. HE IS WELL MUSCLED AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WHICH SHOWED IN HIS GOOD MOVEMENT ROUND THE RING.. BEST VETERAN AND RESERVE CC AND DELIGHTED TO SEE HIM WIN THE VETERAN HOUND GROUP LATER. 2ND:ALLENBY’S CH RANGALI TIGGER. ANOTHER 7 YEAR OLD OF GOOD TYPE.. MUCH OF THE SAME APPLIES. WOULD PREFER A LONGER RIBCAGE. WELSH KENNEL CLUB BASSET FAUVE DE BRETAGNE. 19/8/2023 JUDGE VIV PHILLIPS
