Show Critique For SBTCSW Open Show Held On The 30th July 2006

Bitch Judge - Billy Meek (Lardarna)

The quality of the bitches, friendliness of the people, and a well organised show contributed to an enjoyable day. Overall I was pleased with the condition and quality of the exhibits – thanks to all exhibitors for showing them in such good condition. Some promising youngsters in the puppy and junior classes.

Tidy ears, nice expression, coat in good condition, although carrying a bit of weight moved well for a 12 year old.

Minor Puppy Bitch(4)
1st - Day & Needham’s Stormpike Ebony And Ivory at Bullred

Brindle/white, dark round eye, well defined stop, good depth skull, straight front, well tucked up for one so young, would have liked feet a bit tighter but overall a very promising puppy.
