City of Birmingham 2018 Judged by Mr E Casey
Dalmatian

Diverse entry but I was pleased with both my final line ups. I was somewhat dismayed by a number of dogs not shown in clean condition, for a smooth coated breed this is totally unacceptable.

1st: 6973 WHINCUP, Mr & Mrs K & SIBSON Mrs S Ch Tamilanda Vintage Pink Liver spotted dog of pleasing balance, like his head and expression, eyes of good colour, pleasing pigment. Clean through the neck, shoulders well laid, excellent bone and the best of feet. Level topline, well ribbed but carrying too much weight which affected him on the move. Could be a little more angulated in the rear, shown in excellent muscletone.
