Thankyou everyone for your lovely entry. Most importantly I must thank my steward who did a brilliant job. Especially when we had to move inside, because of the rain

 

       On the whole presentation was good. The majority of the dogs had the correct silky coats. Movement also on the whole was sound and true. Some of the dogs could do with carrying more weight, as this improves the width and movement. Heads and eyes were mainly very pleasing. Our standard calls for a large head compared with the body, some the younger ones who haven't finished growing had rather small heads, which I don't think will get large. On the otherhand nose placement was correct with no problems of the nairs being to small, and didn't find any with having problems in breathing.

 

       Type and body balance is the one thing that has to be watched. The correct type is changing. Our standard calls for a cobby breed with a square, balanced body. Fine bone, now these two words are the ones that are open to misinterpretation. Fine compared to build, not bone to fit a chihuaua. The wide spring of rib, carrying enough weight, square, equal length from shoulders(withers) to base of tail. We now have some being bred and shown lacking in all of this. Lack of spring of rib gives the dog appearance of being to long. It also effects the movement front and back. Please study the pedigrees of the dogs or bitches you are using for breeding. The Chin is a complete breed not a head breed, so everything is important in its makeup.

 

       Now more seriously I found a dog with a real problem. Popping hocks. This is when the hock moves back and forward, not sideways. Sometimes associated with straight stifles. It can be hereditary so should not be bred from.

 

       After saying all this I was really pleased with my final line up of both dog and bitches. All as near to type as I could get. I am not counting the puppies as they all have time to mature. All 4 of my ticket winners displayed the best there is in the English Chin World. Pleased that both BOB and BP were pulled out in the final 8 in both groups.
