From being a titch Siska has dropped on her wither. The wither is above the shoulder blades and should be the highest point of the back in stance and movement. In stance Siskas wither height is acceptable, but as she moves she drops on her forehand - and as we see she always has done. As I've said before as an adult in stance Siska is pretty close to picture perfect, but on the move this does detract. As with everything, some judges will penalise it more than others, some will consider that it's not worth a worry, others will really dislike it. What doesn't help is that Siska hasn't always got that look at me show presence, that often helps them up a place or two. I will not be retiring her, she's far too good to stay at home, but I will now be considering which judges are right for her. The plan at the moment is that Siska will not be going to Bolton or Sheffield, but I have entered her at the other shows in Spring and early Summer. Hopefully she'll come in season early to mid-Summer and the hopefully we can have out "M" babies.
