Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge Miniature Pinschers at their open show.

Junior (2/2)

1. Soper’s Alcarazita Conrad Gates

6 month old Red Dog, up to size. Dark oval eyes, a good length of muzzle, good scissor bite, erect ears carried high. Slightly arched neck leading on to a well laid shoulders, good depth of chest and sprung ribs. Straight legs, elbows held tight to body and tight cat-like feet. A slightly sloping top-line tail set carried high. Good tuck up in the belly, good sweep of stifle and parallel hocks. Moved with good drive from the rear, and high lifting forelegs, but there was no break in the wrist to give a hackney action. Won the class on confidence and movement today, the placings could change on a different day. BPIB

2. Moye’s Ymar Our Lady in Red

7 month old Red Bitch. She wasn’t very confident today and her movement was erratic, but there was a glimpse of a hackney gait, but she needs time to mature and gain more confidence. She has a balanced head with dark oval eyes, muzzle inproportion to the skull, good scissor bite. Small erect ears. Shorter in neck leading on to good shoulders. Fore-chest and depth to chest still developing, a slight tuck up to the belly. A firm top-line, slightly slopping to the croup and tail set carried high and over to one side. Good sweep of stifle and angulation with parallel hocks.
