THE WELSH DOBERMANN CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW
13TH APRIL 2008.
BITCHES
I would like to thank the Welsh Dobermann Club committee for their warm welcome at this my first Championship show appointment. Sincere thanks go to my stewards for your assistance throughout the day. Thank you to all who entered their dogs on this occasion, it was a privilege to be able to go over your dogs. The breed has changed quite a bit in the last 30+ years that I have owned them and of course we now have tails to consider! Movement was not always what it should’ve been and dogs were sometimes let down by poor handling, spoiling their chances. Many exhibits were out of condition , don’t pile on too many extra pounds thinking its ‘body’, good muscle tone and well covered are enough! I enjoyed my judging and I was pleased with my winners.Minor Puppy(2,0)
1Cox’s Zeloviak Inquisition: Happy puppy with pleasing head and expression, level head planes, dark almond shaped eye, correct bite and dentition. Good length of neck.

Limit(14,2abs)

Balanced length of neck to body. Well laid shoulder with adequate forechest. Straight front legs. Firm topline and well set tail, croup well filled, and good turn of stifle. Just could do with a little less weight so allowing more tuck up. Moved well.

Neck flows beautifully into well laid shoulder with enough forechest. Superb topline and tailset. Super rear angulation and cat-like feet. Just would like a little more of her.

3 Barnes’Jowendy’s Gifted And Black At Tallowah
Open(9’2abs)
1 Dale’s Jaegerson Imagination. This one just filled my eye. She has good shape and presence. Strong head with good level head planes, nicely chiselled face with keen and alert dark eye. Gave me a good stare! Enough neck which flows into well angulated shoulders. Nicely shaped chest with correct spring of rib reaching down to elbows at brisket. Straight front legs culminating in cat-like feet. Gently sloping topline with good tailset allowing a well filled croup. Rear angulation spot on with perpendicular hocks and again cat-like feet. She moves well without turning legs in or out but she could just do with a little more drive, but this was lacking throughout the bitch classes. The great outdoors beckons! I was so pleased to award her BCC and RBIS.
