Welsh Kennel Club

WELSH KENNEL CLUB 17 AUG 25 AKITA Unfortunately the quality and quantity in today’s entry was poor, not that i enjoy doing it but felt i had to withhold the RBCC due to the fact of poor movement in some or lack of breed type and quality in others. This is a lovely breed and when quality sound dogs are presented to me they can be very impressive and are a pleasure to judge and evaluate.. For a large breed that is relatively slow to mature and be the finished picture it is sad that my BOB was a puppy. He is a very nice example of the breed and for sure will continue to improve and no doubt will have a good career. I had no hesitation awarding him the top spot,but it is a sad reflection on the breed that i need to go down to the youngest entry to find the best. PD 1(0) 1.

JB 1(0) 1. Humphries/Iason’s Whitewreath Red Alert with Minioso. Feminine frame to her, neat thick ears carried in line with neck, moderate width in skull but a little narrow in muzzle, straight forelegs, still needs to drop and fill in chest, moderate neck, firm top-line with high set tail, nice width to rear quarters, at the minute she is short on leg so she needs to come up for the finished picture, good coat and condition, high set tail carried well, steady mover in profile, needs time.
