Bouvier des Flandres Club of GB

My thanks for the invitation to judge your breed show. V good sporting atmosphere which was good to see. Some of the dogs didn’t like the floor, shame we were not outside. Good to see some newer people showing, some of whom need help and support.

Interesting class to judge as they were all slightly different in type

1. Lambert & Eastam’s Ch/It Ch Quiche’s Xplorer Treks to Bouvpilot

Liked his proportions and size. Has a good head, flat skull. Dark eyes. Enough neck, trim makes it look a bit too short. Well laid shoulder. Excellent body. Well sprung ribs. Firm topline. Liked his moderate rear, low hocks. Balanced and easy mover. Super coat. CC & BIS

2. Nichols’ Ch Nikolaev Malbec

Looks a fraction long but shortens on the move, which is where he beats 3. Liked his head. Correct neck. Well laid shoulder. Decent upper arm. Well bodied. Moderate rear, could be firmer in hock. V easy stride. RCC & RBIS
