CRITIQUE

THE GREAT DANE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW – 5/8/18 – FREDA LEWIS MEMORIAL STAKES

I would sincerely like to thank the committee and its officers for allowing me to judge the stakes classes at this well run, well supported show, I thoroughly enjoyed my day also thanks to my very helpful steward and all the exhibitors who took the time to enter under me, I had an excellent entry there were some very nice dogs and some promising youngsters, I had some lovely dogs to go over and was very pleased with my winners.  All exhibits were clean and well presented, eyes on the whole were good as were temperaments, however, areas to watch are fronts and mouths.  

CLASS 37 – PUPPY DOG/BITCH (10,4) 

  1. (83) Pocock’s Tamzdane Sofa So Good; elegant 6 month old feminine beautifully marked harlequin bitch with white front, dark eye, correct head planes and ear set, scissor bite, alert expression, long clean well arched neck, deep brisket reaching elbow, well sprung rib, straight forelegs with big flat bone, good turn of stifle, low set hocks, tight feet, level topline which she held on the move, fit and well-muscled, covered the ground well, moved effortlessly around the ring, one to watch for the future. Very well handled.

  2. (101) Southgate’s Empress Elvira V Rosherta (Imp Nld); 6 month old striking glossy black bitch took my eye as soon as she entered the ring, darkest of eyes, level topline, high set ear, correct scissor bite, long well arched neck set well into shoulder, deep brisket reaching well set elbow, good bone, just lost out on movement, lot to like about her but did not have the presence of 1st today however this could change, another very promising puppy, look forward to seeing this girl mature, another one to watch for the future.
