WINDSOR CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW

Firstly, let me apologise for the tardiness of my report, unfortunately other things in my life took over!

A lovely day at Windsor, not too hot which better suited the dogs. We had a nice big ring which allowed the dogs to move. I was pleased to see some promising youngsters which can only bode well for the future. Fronts have improved since I last judged, but some dogs that looked good in profile, disappointed when watching from behind. However my bug bear is tails, far too many carried really high which spoils the balance and outline of the dog. All in all, though, a very enjoyable day.

Veteran Dog or Bitch (5, 1 abs)
1 Thorner’s Ch Tolutim Drambuie Sh.CM This black evenly marked bitch certainly belies her 11 ½ years. Lovely gentle expression, dark eyes, well carried ears, good reach of neck, good angulation front and rear, in excellent hard condition. Correctly set tail which wagged continuously. Moved soundly round the ring. Best Veteran and delighted she was shortlisted in the final 5 in the Veteran Group.
2 Baker’s Ch Dalleaf Devils Disciple JW 9 year old liver dog that is a favourite of mine. Nice head and expression, good round bone, good front, deep chest, good topline, good bend of stifle, well muscled. Covers the ground on the move but was a little unsettled today.
