I enjoyed my judging assignment at SKC. Thank you to the exhibitors for a good entry and to my helpful stewards.

Minor Puppy Dog (2,1abs)
1. Rooney & Green JASCHIN PAW STAR. B/w pup of 6 months. Went soundly both ways, well coated for age. NIce eyes and expression, pleasing head and skull, dark pigmentation, happy temperament, fine bone. Needs to cushion up in the muzzle and a little more body weight.

Puppy Dog (2)
1. Bailey’s BENTWOOD WAGAMAPPA SUNI. B/W pup that went well around the ring, lovely silky coat in good condition. Dark round eyes, but they could be a touch more surprised. Fine bone and good feet, pleasing head with good ear set, held a firm topline, but he could have more depth to his chest.
2. Kilcoyne’s SOMERGEMZ SECRET. Slightly heavier in type than 1. Presented in
good coat and condition, pleasing head with round surprised eyes. Well cushioned muzzle, but nose a touch too buried. Went well around the ring with a good outline, going well behind, but his front needs to improve.

Junior Dog (1).
1. Rooney & Green JASCHIN WORKING MAN I AM. Glamorous pup in lovely coat, well set on tail carried correctly, round dark surprised eyes, pleasing head, fine bone,
moved well behind, and nicely in profile. A tad untidy in front.

Post Graduate Dog (3).
1. Kannagara’s SANGRIA PS I LOVE YOU. I preferred the head of this boy to 2,
pleasing head with good ear set, round eyes giving good expression. Front better on the move than on the table, moved well in profile, I would prefer finer bone and he is a tad long in back.
2. Hubble and Summerbell SHARLARNA HIT MAN FOR DABRIVES. Very glamorous boy in full coat. Round dark eyes, muzzle well cushioned, but too long in upper lip, so not enough upturn in jaw. Moved pretty well, bone could be finer.
