Southern Counties Canine Association

Many thanks to the Secretary and her welcoming committee for the kind invitation to judge this lovely breed at your show. I was a little saddened to see untypical movement especially in the rear, this is a breed that should move freely with strength covering the ground with ease, I was very pleased with my principal winners and thank the exhibitors for your entry on such a cold day.

O’Dwyer’s Aspenbeauty Making Dreams for Kalinski (AI) (imp AUS). 3 years old with pleasing breed type, beautifully presented, I liked his outline on the stack, he had balanced head proportions, good ear placement, lovely eye shape and set, strong neck and shoulders, strength in loin, presented in excellent coat, lovely profile movement but could be tidier going away in the rear and was ‘toeing in’ slightly on return. 

2. Humphrey’s Tiksi Time After Time. 4½ years old with masculine head and expression, good ear set, preferred the angulation of 1 but he was balanced front and rear, strong loin with sound body proportions and steady top-line, well set tail with good carriage, showed some good movement when settled into his stride.
