BSB Salvadorada Her Highness (Miss E Hunter)

I had a lovely day; the welcome was warm from the exhibitors, and my two stewards were very efficient—a couple of comments on the dogs I picked up. Tail set and carriage have not improved. I also found some very upright pasterns, which is a worry. Overall size is creeping up, breed standard reads dogs 58-61cm (23-24ins) Bitches 56-58 (22-23ins). I found some dogs were getting long in the loin, although I was pleased with coats that were in good, clean condition, as was muscle tone. Temperaments were good, some very enthusiastic youngsters, but this is to be expected. Some classes were full of quality, and some dogs were let down by poor handling skills. Ring craft is not just for the dogs to learn, but alsofor the handler. Judge Janet Kay (Kaytian)

Her head had equal proportions with a moderate stop, her eyes were hazel and complete pigmentation. Her neck had a slight arch and fitted neatly into her shoulders; her topline was firm and held well on the move. Her balance and symmetry showed as she moved around the ring.

2ND Ch Dotlun English Rose at Roadcoach (Mrs C C Pickup) (L) Another quality girl. She has a different handler whom gets more out of her, which showed today. She just didn’t have the same animation I have seen in her before. She has the most appealing spotted face with well-decorated ears that contribute to a slightly naughty eye.
