Judge Jayne Gillam (Orenberg)

It was a great privilege to be asked to judge at this show & I would like to thank the exhibitors for such a quality entry. Some hard decisions had to be made as I found several dogs & bitches well worthy of winning a CC & in some of the senior classes there were just not enough prize cards to go around.
I don’t want to pontificate but I feel it is the responsibility of a judge when she has gone over such a large sample of show dogs, many of which will be bred from, to mention to breeders any faults they feel might be emerging. On this occasion one such fault was teeth, I found no less than four exhibits in the younger classes who had lower canines on one side which did not fit correctly between the first incisor & top canine, in effect they were growing on the inside & touching the roof of the dogs mouth. As they were young & jaws & teeth do alter considerably in youngstock they may come right in time, but I had to make a decision on them as they were on the day. I also found two bitches with only five incisors in the lower jaw. Teeth are a working dogs armoury & attention to correct teeth & dentition is vital in our breed.
