Thank you to the Society for inviting me for this appointment today, the bonus being that I was only 30mins from home so didn’t need to set the alarm clock extra early ;) Also a big thank you to my 2 stewards who did a great job keeping things moving smoothly. A lovely entry overall today, especially the open bitch class with 13 super bitches, a sight not often seen in recent times. I started showing this breed 26yrs ago but recently only been dipping in and out occasionally so many dogs including some of my green card winners were unknown to me which is a nice position to start judging from. 

A lot of dogs were let down a little though by handlers who either couldn’t run in straight lines or moved their dogs legs when the dog had already done it better naturally themselves. As expected with this breed there were no issues with teeth/testicles and I felt coats have improved since my last appointment with only a handful being too soft/silky. Finally I must say thank you to you all for the lovely atmosphere felt around the ring with lots of clapping and support for the winners.

Puppy Dog (3:2)

1ST Jomeel Quicksilver (Mr M A & Ms C Staley) 8 months old, standing alone but a lovely quality puppy to start my judging with. Head is full of breed type, correct muzzle to skull, well set ear and an expression that screams GSP. Well boned, standing true fore and aft with excellent pasterns and feet. Excellent front assembly with good forechest. Rib developing nicely, strong loin and well angulated rear. Correct croup and tailset although carries tail a little too proudly at times. Moved true out and back with good reach and drive in profile. 

Junior Dog (5:1)

1ST Jomeel Quick Learner (Dr V Cockerill) 8 months old who I later found to be litter brother to the Puppy Dog.

Well proportioned with good angulation and strong topline, correct tail set and carriage. Good coat of correct texture. Moved true out and back with lovely ground covering reach and drive in profile. Could have taken him home, I wish you all the best with him.
