Results and Critique
I would like to thank the ASCUK committee for their very honorary invitation to judge their 2013 Championship Show. For my first judging appointment in the UK, I had a wonderful welcome with a large entry.
Thank you for a wonderful organised show. I would also like to thank everyone for accepting my decisions so sportingly.
I have now judged Australian Shepherds extensively on the continent and I would like to give you my vision about the breed in the UK based on my Championship Show entry.
My vision is unbiased and only destined to give you what are according to me, are the priorities needed for improving the breed in the UK.
I liked
• General balanced proportions (body size/head size, length/height)
• Size and position of necks • Moderate bone • Firm and level toplines
• Balanced angulations • Colour and textures of coats • Good temperaments
• Good movement • Quality of show handling
I did not like :
• Heads in general • Eyes were too often round • Not enough correct ear sets
• Unhappy expressions on some of the exhibits • Forearms and pasterns weak in some exhibits
• Movement in some exhibits did not appear to be correct., It was not fluent enough for me at times. An Aussie should move freely with good strong reach and with the focus and vision of what is ultimately a working dog.
MINOR PUPPY DOG
1) Triforce Last of The Mohican – A well balanced puppy with a very good head and alert expression. Excellent neck, shoulders and top line. Excellent front, but rear angulation a little bit straight, Moved well.
2) Tribbrook Beam Me Up Scotty – Very well made puppy, but difficult to judge because of lack of ring training. Moved ok when settled.
