JUDGING REPORT

THE NORTHERN KING CHARLES SPANIEL CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 24TH APRIL 2011

My thanks go to the club committee, members and exhibitors for this appointment and the excellent entry both in number and quality of exhibits and the sporting appreciation shown for the winners. I would also wish to thank my two stewards Colin and Lee for their efficiency and support.

In most classes the choice between first and second and third, was decided on personal preference rather than any great variance in type ,construction or movement, this is good for the breed. However there were some placings affected by either size/length and in others a lack of substance and in particular lack of width in chest and roundness in ribcage, which, when present helps create the cobby impression required by the standard. As always heads need to be considered in comparison to size and the distinctive dome is of extreme importance and should be carefully considered in selecting stock for show/future breeding.
