LEEDS CHAMPIONSHIP DOG SHOW

Judges Critiques

Mrs Joanne WOODHEAD

Judging:

Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge, and to the exhibitors for their support, allowing me the pleasure of going over some truly lovely exhibits. My appreciation also goes to my stewards, whose efficiency kept the ring running smoothly.

We were fortunate to have a good‑sized ring, giving the dogs ample space to move, though it was a little uneven in places, which required handlers to be mindful of their footing. It was a lovely day, though not ideal for seeing the silvertips at their best. A blustery wind rattled the marquee at intervals, unsettling a few exhibits and momentarily affecting ear carriage and concentration.

Some of the exhibits today were of a similar merit that they could easily swap places. Several young ones are coming through with promise, maturing nicely and showing the foundations of correct type, construction, and movement.

An 8‑year‑old feminine bitch with a pleasing expression showing the benefits of experience and correct construction.
