The Keeshond Club
Championship Show – 7 April 2013
Firstly I would like to say how honoured I was to be invited to judge your Championship Show. I was very pleased with my entry and my sincere thanks to the Committee & Members who made my appointment such a special event, a memory that I will never forget.
The Venue was amazing and the ring and decoration looked fantastic and added to the atmosphere of the show. My Congratulations to all the exhibitors who accepted my decisions gracefully, it was a pleasure to judge your dogs.
A special thank you to my stewards Toni Jackson & Dave Chapman who kept me on the straight and narrow! It was lovely to work with both of you.
I would also like to thank the club for the lovely gifts I received. They will take pride of place and remind me of my appointment. Thank you!
Attached is my critique of your dogs, please accept it in the manner it is given. Overall I found your dogs to be varied in style making it difficult at time to judge some classes. Movement overall was good, coats were in general of good texture however condition and colour needs to be improved. Some of your dogs had lovely heads and expression. My biggest concern would be size – Keeshonds are a medium size, short compact dog. I found many to be big and coarse and certainly well over 17” & 18”. Temperaments I found great and general health was good.
