Thank you for the entry on a working day for many, I was happy with the overall quality of my exhibits particularly Limit and Open classes. Also thanks to my stewards David and Mary and to the Darlington committee for my first time CC appointment.
I looked back at my foreword from my last breed appointment and I have to say the same applies even as this level. I found the quality stronger in the bitch classes then the dogs, the standard of grooming was high but the amount of chalk used was excessive, my trousers demonstrated that. Jaws need to be looked at on many levels not just with regards to the lack of width but with regards to hygiene. Too many dogs had bad breath, sore or aggravated gums due to a build-up of debris including large tuffs of fur! Eyes on the whole were large and clear, but I observed a few lashes that could be easily plucked and some lacking a well-fitting eye conformation. The most noticeable observation was the backwards step we seem to have taken with the importance of tails, I would expect to still see this as a necessity in any of the younger dogs being shown and this was taken into consideration with respect to my placings.
East of England Ladies Kennel Society Open Show - 30th July 2017
French Bulldogs Puppy (7,3abs) 1. Kuredeux Don Dada, 7mth old brindle pied. Lovely clean silhouette displaying good length of neck and topline. Well put together which was shown on the move, sound with beautiful front movement to his natural square width. Good bone to compact feet and the shortest of nails. Giving away his maturity in his head but I’m sure all will come, dark round clear eyes, well sized nose and good jaw. Correct set and shaped ears which were used well. He was shown superbly and didn’t seem phased at all. Pleased to award him BP. 2. Feniton Fredrick at Raglenary, Br male. Only young but extremely naughty/lively! Appealing expression due to correct ears, dark eye and good width of muzzle. Coat in good condition which was well marked and finished with jet black nails. Moved sound but have no doubt showmanship will improved with age, but saw enough of him to place him 2nd. 3. Winuwuk Smart Lady of Casemates |
