Caernarfon Critiques

"GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG What a pleasure to judge this great breed and once again, I was delighted with the quality of the dogs being shown. No signs of exaggeration or weakness in any of the exhibits and places in all the classes could easily change on another day. The breed is certainly in good hands in North Wales, many congratulations." 
2. Stanley & Bibby’s Silkenwood Poldark of Blanik Another very pleasing young male, who has many virtues and is well balanced front and rear. Has a very lovely head and expression. He is strong in pasterns and hocks and moved extremely soundly in all directions. Just would have benefited from a little more body on the day 
1. Stanley’s Lokean of Blanik ShCM I loved the size, substance, proportions and the great ring presence of this very impressive male. He has the most delightful of heads with strength throughout, but with absolutely no signs of coarseness. He has super bone throughout and very strong pasterns and hocks. He is well angulated front and rear with excellent chest and body. He moved so very soundly and with great reach and drive in all directions. I was delighted to award him BOB and Pastoral Group 2. Well done.

Is Ross a little lean? .. you know I think he is and I will give him a small supper again for a while! No point trying to increase his meal size, though to be fair he's eating well these days. Supper it is then.
