Spainsh water dogs

I would like to say thank you to the committee for considering me to judge this breed and for the gundog club in uk that put me forward to be voted to judge on this date for my first cc in the breed after being in the breed 24 years Finally a thank you to my ring stewards for contributing to an enjoyable day.

There was a lot of hot competition in some classes.

 I do not wish to write anything to negative but couple of notes to take on board for future reference.

I was looking for a well-muscled dog /bitch that is fit for function with correct amount of bone, strong well-padded feet, quarters front and back that would enable dog to do days’ work. My placings reflect that and some dogs that looked good on stand let themselves down on the move.

Loose leads-some could benefit from Ringcraft training to acquire this skill.

Exhibitors could gain knowledge from watching others around the ring. couple need to go to ringcraft lessons to get the best out of their dogs on the day at a show.

The temperaments I saw in the ring were excellent with confident dogs not one back off while going over them (an attribute that some humans in the world could aspire too !!)

I would like to thank all the exhibitors who entered under me and allowed me to judge their lovely dogs-a quality entry which made my decisions hard in many classes. Thanks to all for your support.

I was delighted with my BOB grain her 3rd cc subject to the kennel club I would like to thank all those who made this a very pleasurable day. With a great entry of dogs

When judging to type it is hard not to be repetitive in write ups but there were many similar attributes.

All dogs were well presented and with solid temperaments. Many good examples of movement and handlers getting the best out of their dogs on the day. speciality open bitch 3 worthy handlers.

All dogs had good dentition

The reason for all the running in the ring was to see a brisk sound athletic movement with powerful drive plus some judges say they move close behind no it a single tracking gait in the breed especially those that are bred to work in field, this is called single tracking

 please remember this breed is a slow maturing breed that takes time to develop as it is a long lived breed of avage age of 15 years old

Please remmber thidog's legs will naturally begin to converge on a ce line as the dog gains dog's legs will naturally begin to converge on a l
