Claire Parker

I would like to thank the Committee for the opportunity to judge at their show. I had an excellent ring steward who kept things running exceptionally smooth, many thanks. Overall general condition of the exhibits were good but I feel we are sadly losing the width of jaw.

Puppy (2, 1abs)

1. Cradock’s Gypsytart Pin Up Girl.

Although this little lady stood alone I was impressed with her features. 11 month old, red and white. Flat skull with good ear placement and fine wrinkle, not overdone. Nice clear, dark, round eyes. Good front and bone leading to neat feet. Lovely correct topline and tail set. Good tuck up. Moved okay if a little excitable. BPIB.

Junior (3, 0abs)

1. Freeman’s Testwood Total Eclipse

16 month old male, white and red. This boy caught my eye as soon as he entered the ring with his excellent movement. Correct flat skull and ear placement. Fine wrinkle with correct dark eyes and nose placement. Very good jaw. Excellent shoulder placement, brisket and bone leading to very neat feet. Good rib and tuck up. Best mover of the day. Credit to his owner and delighted to award him BOB and was pleased to hear he went on to take Utility Group 3.

2. George’s Avaword Trixie

15 month old bitch. Shorter in leg than first. Lovely flat skull with clear eyes and wide open dark nostrils. Moved well.

Post Graduate (5, 1 abs)
