Judge's Critique – Connie Alexander, Kernersville, NC

I was very excited about judging your specialty and seeing some of the Seattle area.  I was not disappointed on both accounts. It was sunny the day I arrived and I was able to see all of Seattle from the plane.  Mt. Rainier was visible from my hotel room.  I was surprised that the picturesque valley that the show site was located was so close to Seattle.  And, last but not least, the weather was wonderful.  I could not have ordered a better day to have a dog show.

I think that the entry was spectacular.  I feel very privileged to have been invited to judge these dogs.  The breeders and owners should be very proud of themselves.  I thoroughly enjoyed the day of judging and the cook out that evening.  It is nice to meet new people and people that you have seen for years across the room at the Nationals.  Thank you again for inviting me to judge your specialty.

6-9 Puppy Dogs-#5 OXFORDS PRINCETONS TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT This is a fawn brindle and white puppy who is very filled out for such a young dog.   He has a lovely head, is well balanced and goes around well.

9-12 Puppy Dogs-#13 LAKOTA’S WARLOCK OF AMBERWIND This puppy is mostly fawn. He has more length of body, good front fill and a nice head.  He also moves nicely.

Winners Dog-#19 TIVIO’S SPELLBOUND Best Bred By Exhibitor I really did like this dog.  It was a hard decision between this dog and the reserve dog.  He has a smooth, ground covering gait that could not be denied.  I was pleased to find out that this win finished him.

Reserve Winners Dogs-#43 SPORTING FIELDS MAN IN BLACK I also understand that this dog finished later in the weekend.  Congratulations to all.
