Critique for
Alfreton & District C S
14/07/2013
A lovely day to
start with, then the cloud cover dispersed and the sun shone, lovely for
the people but rather hot for the dogs.
Thank you to those
who entered especially in those breeds where we clashed with a breed
club show.

1st

presenting a good outline on the stand. Good head and eye,
lovely neck and shoulders, hopefully his forechest will develop.
Good depth of chest, nice rear end, coat coming nicely. True
coming and going very nice drive from the rear. BP |
Junior (4,1a)
What a close class this was. Three very nice juniors. All presenting a
good shape on the stand, all with correct heads, good length of neck and
well laid shoulders. All have good rear ends that they used well on the
move. For me subtle differences in weight across the loin, amounts of
forechest, and return of upper arm made the difference. I know it’s a
cliché but these 3 really will swap places.

Heppel’s Deevonville Santana - Just preferred his overall shape
on the stand and his return of upper arm in the class and his
style in the challenge for BOB |
