Critique

I am sorry for the delay in submitting the critiques. An incident had been recorded on my voice recorder and it was needed elsewhere but it has now been returned to me. Thank you to the committee for the invitation and to my excellent stewards for their attention. It was not a large entry but I had some super dogs in both sizes. Thank you exhibitors for the opportunity to judge your dogs.
I am not a fanatic about size at either end of the spectrum but found quite a few dogs in both sizes pushing the measure or lifting it. In general I will prefer a well balanced dog pushing the measure to an unbalanced short legged one going under it, but it is something to be mindful of as it ever was Temperaments were excellent and though some dogs were out of coat most had enough to gauge the quality.

PD (2 1) 1 Mrs V A Dyer & Mrs S Orr Musique Wishful Thinking. Good start to the day with this very attractive stand alone well developed brown puppy. Square in outline, does not need to grow any more but may well drop a little when his front settles. Correct head pattern with flat skull, good eye shape but could be a tad darker, and well set nice size ears. Front needs to settle a little but plenty of time. Ribs well sprung, and well ribbed up, . Tail, well set and carried. Good rear angulation, A bit bouncy on the move so not easy to assess but saw enough. More closely knit than the best bitch puppy at present which gave him BPIB
JD (2 ) 1 Musique Wishful Thinking 2 Mr R & Mrs L Sutherland Chilite Chogan Black dog of middle size, deeper in stop than 1, neat ears. Eye could be more oblique, good body proportions and well knit. Angulation was well balanced and movement OK side on but a bit close going away. Well coated.
