Breed: Dobermann

Dobermanns South Wales

First always honoured to judge your own breed, a having started in Dobermanns in the late 1970 I have been around a bit and have judged in lots of places all around the world and off course seen good and bad changes in the Dobes in that time, my job is to well just judge the dogs and to be honest I don’t have friends and equally any enemies when I judge I just look at the dogs, I have given a CC to someone before who doesn’t like me ) ok not in judging Dobermanns ) and would certainly do it again, I have withheld before in other breeds if needed. I found an excellent entry in my winners and found people was giving good wishes and clapping to the winners, but just get on an judge the dog, so maybe id better just do that NOW,

 tan, moved with good and correct drive behind always nice to see, with a right amount of

 reach in the front, super open and correct temperament, well-presented and handled,

maybe carrying a little too much weight, but he’s a veteran and happy, nice head and

correct in ears.

1st Place 1377 - Krieger's Lasting Image (Miss L Stracey)

Almost 9 months old, but certainly a star for now and definitely for the future, I could

Argue to myself he was too mature for his age, BUT my job is to judge what he’s

 looking like today, and I hope he stays going the way he is now, that said,

super masculine male stood looked and handled like the CH I’m sure he’ll become

excellent temperament showed and handled excellently and stood proud and happy

with no cares or worries, certainly not looking overdone currently, very dark but slightly.

miss marked tan, strong and correct in bone density and build, excellent and correct

 tight cat feet, correct in width, depth and fore chest, head not finished but certainly

looking to be going the right way, with nice planes, correct in skull and muzzle with

correct bite, dark eyes acceptable ears, lips could be a little tighter, correct sloping

level topline standing and on the move, with correct position of the tail, moved a little

 close behind but that could change with age and exercise, all round nice prospect for

the future, pushed hard for the RCC just liked the slightly more finished junior male

1st Place 1360 - Zinedine Zidane Elite House del Diego (Imp Pol) (Mrs T Mccall)

nice shape and type, super topline and correct in tail set, moved a little close behind

and needs more drive behind, but can change with age and exercise, strong head with

correct planes and certainly developing the right way, dark eyes and good size ears,

 needs more time to finish and gain more confidence, but I am sure this experienced

owner can get him there.

2nd Place 1337 - Supetas Boys Are Back in Town (Mesdames K & S M Brannan & Mycroft)

9 months same as the above needs more time and confidence but again hopefully will

get there, slightly more elegant than above, but well put together and certainly going

Male with a owner in control and both looking happy and relaxed BUT ready for work,

And I got it from these two, excellent for height, correct substance and weight control,

Masculine but never looking over the top, but still with the right amount of elegance

And nobility, will and should become a CH, excellent topline standing and correct on

The move with right set and use of the tail, moved well front and reach, strong but

 elegant and correct in head, with the correct expression, not quite the finished

 dog against the CC winner but certainly pushed him and pleased today to give RCC

I don’t normally mention handlers too much but in this case, I’ll make an exception,

It Certainly is nice to see the MASTER back in the ring after so many years, when he

first Started years ago, he was the one to watch to see how to get the best out

Of different dogs and for me was a pleasure to judge his dog and handling. And nice to

 See you back again with a top-quality dog, that said, so was pleased to see him in the

Ring but happier he had such a top quality male, first the dog walks in the ring

With confidence and style, he’s masculine and strong but relaxed and watching

everyone and showing all the time. You can see the bond and happiness between both

 dog and handler, he’s 3 years old top size male with the right weight and coverage of

body, really deep brown with excellent coat and shine, strong bone with excellent and

correct tight cat feet, clean unmark dark tan, the head has excellent length with

 correct planes, dark eyes and well set and used ears, correct bite, but could say head

could be just a little more refined for a better finish, super firm topline and moved with

style and power, pleased to see already a CH and today award the CC, lost out to a

slightly more finished and refined female today
