BATH CANINE SOCIETY

Thank you to everyone who entered under me, I thoroughly enjoyed my day. The weather was reasonably kind and the sun did make an occasional appearance. On the plus side, temperaments were good but on the minus side, there were quite a few upright shoulders which does affect movement. Many dogs who looked lovely in profile disappointed on the move mainly due to weak hindquarters.

Minor Puppy Dog (3 entries, 0 absent)

1 Whincup’s Tamilanda Midnight Lilly Black dog just over 6 months, lovely head and expression, good dark eye, happy temperament. Good reach of neck, clean shoulders, level topline and good tail carriage. Good extension and drive. Very raw at the moment but should have a bright future.
2 Goodswen’s Alphadal’s King of Angels B/w dog just coming up to 9 months. Well proportioned dog, nice head and expression. Lovely temperament, his tail didn’t stop wagging. Spotting not as clear as 1. Movement in profile was very good but was a little close behind.

1 Christie’s Sophtspot Gold Dust One that I have admired since seeing him as a very young puppy. Beautifully marked L/w, lovely head and expression, good reach of neck, good angulation front and rear, level topline with good tailset. Excellent bone with good tight feet.

2 Neath-Duggan & Baker’s Buffrey Incognito by Dalleaf Good deep black spotting, lovely dark eye. Shorter coupled than 1 and heavier in shoulder. Excellent bone, level topline with correct tailset but for some reason he was tending to carry his tail high on the move. Well handled.
