Terriers – Awaiting critique.

 

Pastoral

Thanks you for a super entry on what wasn’t the best of days to be showing outside and to my 2 stewards who helped keep everything running smoothly. The gift of a lovely blanket with my affix was a lovely touch from the committee. I would just like to say one thing regarding presentation – especially in Shetland Sheepdogs, Rough Collies and Samoyeds. Quite a few of these dogs were not groomed properly. I know they have a double coat but you should still be able to get your fingers through the coat to the skin – which in quite a few of the dogs I couldn’t. I know this probably won’t affect their ability to work but they are not at work, they are in a show ring where they should be presented clean and well groomed

Open 4 (abs)

1st Ditto That

2nd Christies Orange Crush Planes Des Bruyer avec Zigouse ( Imp Fra) JW, this exhibit moved well, but on table inspection he seemed not to like my face mask, on removing it he somewhat settled to let me assess, he is an honest exhibit who on another day will change places with the first , was cleanly presented.

On entering the ring she quietly chose her position without fuss and without crowding anyone. When stacking she sympathetically stacked and communicated with her charge. On gaiting she held excellent lines and never at any time obstructed her charge from me. She also did not pre-empt what I was s going to do, she observed and timed everything to perfection. She did not over handle and due to this she and her charge complimented each other. She was sensibly and immaculately attired. It was great to see her later go Best Handler in Show under Tony Allcock OBE.
