Alf Jennings Critique. This is always a friendly show with a real festive atmosphere. One of the
exhibitors summed it up for me, her Christmas always starts here. Judges have
to be booked so far in advance now and as I am coming up 75, this seemed the
right time to call it a day and retire from judging whilst still totally
“withit”. A club show in my view being the best way to finish. I thank all of the exhibitors for the wonderful entry, my three excellent stewards and the Midland Club for a very happy day. With just a
few exceptions all the dogs being shown had good formation close to the standard
and most performed well. A few things
that I feel need to be aired. I had quite a number of dogs/bitches that while
the bite was right the front six teeth in the bottom jaw were crowded due to
being narrow. Some front feet were not the typical thick pads but quite
ferrety. I also had a couple of light eyes. Having commented on these errors
overall I can say that Cairns in general are looking good. |
