Crystal Palace Canine Association Open Show 2014 Critique

Junior 1

1st. Meer's Shagiead Aunty hetty For Lordswell, a beautiful 13 month old bitch, whom I have long admired. She certainly did not disappoint. Stood alone but was worthy of her placement. Lovely head and excellent jaw, dark eyes with a charming far away expression. Strong neck and good depth of chest for her age. Tight feet. Lovely slope to the croup. Holding her topline on the move, with elegance and drive which was easy active and true. One to watch BOB.

Post Graduate  4 (1A)

1st Piggot's Kilbourne Willow For Greyzion, 4 year old bitch, whose profile on standing was shapely and appealing. Would have liked a darker eye, but  good head proportions. Would have prefered more slope over croup. Good feet. Once settled on the move strode out, was better coming than going.

2nd Lucas & Dargonne Packway Comanche Moon.

3rd Lucas & Dargonne Packway Lonesome Dove.

Open 8 (1A)

1st Gilhooly's Freyja At Nobys, lovely mature balanced, well made  6 year old bitch.  Also I have admired from the ringside. Elegant well proportioned head with the kindest expression. Strong neck and good front. Nice depth of chest and length of ribbing. Lovely slope over croup. Good feet. Held her topline on the move. Pushed hard during challenge but did not cover as much ground or move with quite as much ease as BOB. However delighted to award her RBOB.
