DDTC Championship Show

11th July 2004. Judge: Mrs Jackie Shore (Swanwillow).

"Many thanks to exhibitors for a lovely entry. My main impressions were too many dogs had short, shallow ribcages, this is essential in a long bodied dog. This in turn affects the control of hind movement which in some was very loose and unco-ordinated. On the positive side coats were very good and mouths excellent with good big teeth."

Minor Puppy Dog	1st: Russell's Hawkesmill Fergus 7 months, mustard. Up to size puppy who needs to fill his frame, very long body. Coat starting to show. Head proportions could be better, big teeth and kind eye, good topknot. Very unco-ordinated in movement needs time to muscle up. Happy temperament. Very raw and needs time to come together.

Well laid shoulder, flowing topline and correct tailset. Standing on lst class legs and round neat well padded feet.Covered in a quality double coat, crisp in texture. When he moves he is a picture, was pleased to award him the CC and eventually BIS.

Needs maturity to complete the overall picture. Showed very well.
	2nd: McLeod's Healaval Usquebae Mustard Good size, correct head proportions, good stop, big teeth. Not the flowing lines of 1, because of straighter shoulder, but balanced with good tailset. First class coat. Moved and showed very well.
	3rd: Harpwood's Finloren Nicholas Nickleby 2 years, mustard. Lovely headed dog in correct proportions, big teeth, dark eye and fine ears. Excellent shoulders and straight front and neat round feet. Not the flowing topline of 1 and was very tense on the table, consequently movement was rather tucked up and not extending behind.
