Welsh Kennel Club Whippet Dogs

I want to thank the society for inviting me to judge Whippet dogs which was my third championship show appointment in whippets. I had the best day and I really appreciate all the exhibitors for entering under me. I had to make some very tough decisions on the day and it was very interesting after judging bitches the week before.

Good depth of chest with a definite tuck up, lovely arch over loin, good bend in stifle with well let down hocks.
