SCOTTISH DOBERMANN CLUB OPEN SHOW
03.12.06


Thank you to the Scottish Dobermann Club committee for their warm welcome and hospitality, and to the exhibitors for giving me the opportunity to judge their dogs. Two observations that I made during the day, one being the lack of type in the males and the second that movement in general could be better, having said that I have not commented individually but my winners all moved satisfactorily. BIS was Vonedstram Virtuoso and RBIS was Krieger Endurance.


Veteran Dog (9 6a)

1. McILroy-Stracey’s CH. Krieger Storm
9 year old black who is looking well for his age, standard sized, short coupled possess a very masculine head which is in proportion to his body, eye of correct shape and colour, adequate length of neck leading to a straight slightly sloping topline with a correct tailset. Well angulated at rear with enough bend of stifle, ample forechest and depth to brisket, on his toes throughout.

2. Morton’s Threepwood Travis
7 year old black of standard size, square and short coupled in body, pleasing front assembly, well developed forechest with depth of brisket reaching elbow. Back slightly sloping and firm with correct tailset, masculine head but not quite as strong as the winner.

1. Korotkich’s Mountcraig Jump The Que
7 month old brown who took my eye when he walked into the ring, standard sized, short coupled and cobby, head in proportion to body with correct planes and good length to muzzle, needs to fill out a little but that is to be expected at this age.
