Paignton - 02.08.2024
1st place Junior
Critique - 16 month old young g lady, nicely mature in body for age. Very pretty girl, correct balanced angulation and good width throughout, lovely temperament, but not her usual handler and this seemed to make her a little uncertain and wanted to get back to Mum. Beautiful balanced clean feminine head, correct stop, well set ears, nice dark eye, could be a tad tighter at this stage, excellent front with good width, pleasing bone and lovely tight arched feet, holds beautiful shape and topling, but holding herself a little low on the move, but she was sound with good reach and drive. Had another handler in the challenge and she didn't really come around, pity as she was a very strong contender for the reserve and with a bit more confidence and maturity I think she will be a real contender for top honours going forward.
Judge Mrs J Kennedy
With sincere thanks to this judge for such a wonderful critique of Tessa 🙏

This 15 month old is another with a lot to like. Carrying good bone and pleased in outline with clean neck of correct length to balance, firm topline, nuce spring of rib, muscular loin and correct croup and tail carriage. Nicely balanced head with feminine expression; good planes and ears set on high. Nice layback of shoulder and she stands straight in front bu on good feet but fore chest still to full develop as you would expect. Not quite rear angulation of winner. Good ground coverage and well handled.

Sweet expression with a good dark mask and dark oval eye, good depth of muzzle and a strong jaw, good neck, correct angulation of the shoulder with straight forelegs and strong pasterns, good depth of chest, would like to see a slightly longer back, a little bum high at the moment and a little upright in rear angulation.

Three Counties - 06.06..24
2nd Place Junior
A very feminine bitch, balanced head, length of muzzle equal to top of the skull, neck with slight arch blending into shoulders, firm back, front and rear angulation in proportion without exaggeration, coat not quite in the condition of my winner, lacking in confidence with her handler, holding her head downwards on the move, when she becomes more self assured she will look a different dog.
Judge: Mrs J Atkinson
Thank you Judith 🙏

Midland Counties - 07.09.2023 FIRST SHOW
Critique: MPB 1st Place - A sweet puppy bitch which attracts you to her obvious qualities, she has a really nice head with a delightful expression, I particularly was impressed with her short loin, all she lacks is more confidence, presented in very clean order.
