Judge's Critique And Comments From The Handler

"Over medium size, medium strong female, maybe not in the best hair condition today. Also correct proportions, nice topline, the croup should be longer. Correct rear angulations. Good position of the upper arm, which should be longer. Forechest and chest must be more developed. Coming and going correctly and in the movement she has the balance, not lying on the forehand but she should stay just a little bit higher on the wither. Showed good rear drive with enough front reach."

"She wasn’t out of her depth at all. She held her own in probably the strongest puppy class this year. I think the second photo is better even though she is leaning forward a bit. Her overline looks cleaner and her angles look better. We can try to get another few shots of her at her next show as she’s better than the photos. When the official ones come out I hope there will be some more nice ones of her. If her front legs were straight in the second photo it would be a great pic of her. I believe you will do really well with her at both KC shows and regionals. She is very correct with no extremes so should appeal to all rounders and SV judges. Very different styles of showing and judging though. My view is that she’s much better in a big ring running out on a long lead. The collar I swapped on her worked well to stop her putting her head down. Try to get one for her x"
