Crufts 23 Judge

GLEN OF IMAAL CRUFTS 23 Judge: Mr D Harley I felt honoured and proud to be asked to judge our breed at crufts,I would like to thank the steward but most surprised there was only one. Now to the Glens, thank you all who braved the weather to bring your dogs under me. I was pleased with my principal winners, I have not judged this breed since 2016. I think a few were a little overwhelmed with the Cruft’s atmosphere, hence some movements not as good as I have seen them move but must be judged on the day. I cannot believe how so many bad mouths have crept into our breed plus ears, the standard says half pricked or rose, we are losing the look and many were penalised for these faults, Lastly when did the trend begin not to hold the glen’s tail up. 1 Ch/bel/nl/esp Ch.Boudivella Oscar (Hannington). A wheaten boy of good substance. Masculine head with good bite, strong jaw, correct front with plenty of heart room, nicely placed shoulders, solid body, good angulations all round, good topline and tail set, well muscled, up on his feet, and moves with good driving action. Pleased to award him RDCC and Best Veteran. 1 Romanville Blue Indigo. (Lilly & Reynard) Nice head on this blue boy. good mouth, correct front, nice lay of shoulders. deep chest, correct in upper arm, well off for bone, should mature into a nice boy, Movement OK. 1 Amhard Runrig.
