DANDIE DINMONT JUDGE MIDLAND COUNTIES 18

First, I must offer my most sincere thanks to my two very efficient stewards who kept proceedings going at the right pace and were a tower of strength to me throughout my judging. The entry was quite good given the difficult times we are experiencing; however, I was dismayed at the general faults on display: poor fronts; level toplines; very close movement behind and the excessive use of scissors, in days gone by judges would not have tolerated such grooming. On the plus side, temperament was very good. I was looking for balance and shape, conformation and movement throughout but only found this in a few exhibits.

PD (1)

1 Milton's Wilmit Chindit. Pepper, 10 months old, confident young man, came into the ring as if he owned it. Nice shape and balance, nice head coupled with dark eye giving a soft expression, good length of neck into well laid shoulders, nice flowing topline on the move. RCC, sure to have a nice future.

PGD (1)

1 Bell's Reidswire Lord O'Liddesdale. Mustard, coat over the top, nice shape, masculine head with dark eye, correct front with good feet, rear not so good, won on movement.

2 Hubbard & Miller's Dryfevalley Johnny Fox. Mustard, presented in good coat, well laid shoulders, overweight which affected movement.

LD (4, 1)

1 Brown's Great Gatsby Ze Zihelske Zahrady. Pepper, nice shape, topline shown on the move, well laid shoulders leading to good front, rear angulation good and moving well. Trimming needs attention.
