Leeds City & District Canine Association

Thank you to the Leeds committee for the invite to award CC’s for the first time in Hungarian Vizslas. I loved my day judging one of my favourite breeds. It’s a breed where you can instantly see what’s before you , I like a moderate but noble dog that has that certain quality of type and substance . There is not one dog that has every quality I would desire but I am looking for breed type, construction and they have to move as their construction should indicate. I was delighted with my main winners and there are some promising puppies coming through.

Many thanks to my two stewards and to the exhibitors for bringing their lovely dogs for my consideration.

What a super puppy . Appealed for type, medium size dog with good head proportions for age, clean neck into well laid back shoulders, good forechest, straight forelegs leading to tight feet, short back, slight tuck up, he has a great character and I loved how vocal he was. Moved very well for a puppy. Should have a bright future.

Another nice puppy , nothing overdone at this stage , medium sized dog, appealed for shape and balance, masculine head with kind expression and correct planes, moderately long neck into well constructed front assembly, deep chested, well sprung ribs, slight tuck up, short loin, just needs to tighten in front movement.

A joy to go over this dog , he is in top condition, coat was gleaming ,dense and lovely russet colour , shown in great muscular order. I have admired him from ringside , very balanced, high on the withers , strong level back , deep in rib and slight tuck up . Rear quarters moderate and muscular. Moderately long neck .He has a masculine head with just a tad too much stop for my preference but this did not detract from his other qualities, I just felt today he wasn’t putting all into his performance and as such I awarded him a well deserved RCC .
