BRITISH DALMATIAN CLUB

CHAMP SHOW 5/11/22

BITCHES ,

It was a great honour to judge the bitches at the Club Championship Show, and thank you for letting me go over your lovely Dalmatians. There were many split decisions to be made especially in the later classes where the quality shone forth. I did notice there were some narrow fronts and lack of bone apparent in some exhibits. Also, some nervousness seems to be creeping in although I do know if a season is imminent, it can affect the performance of a bitch in the ring - the standard says 'outgoing and friendly'. However, there were plenty of wagging tails around the ring and I was pleased with the overall quality of the entry.

DOGS

I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge the dogs at their CHampionship show It is always an honour to be ask to judge at a CH show and especially a club show.
on arrival I was welcomed by several of the committee, and taken to meet my stewards David and Brian who I'd like to thank for their excellent stewarding and for looking after me throughout the day.

I was disappointed in the amount of high tails which completely spoils the balance of the dog the standard states the tail should be carried with a slight upward curve, never curled. I also saw some questionable movement.
Some of the dogs in the early classes were not happy being gone over and having their teeth checked I personally am always happy to allow the handler to show the dogs teeth themselves Just ask.
Please pay more attention to the standard and research your dogs and bitches pedigrees before breeding we need to look after our beautiful breed.
