FOX WIRE JUDGE BATH 18

It was a pleasure to judge at Bath Championship Show which is one of my favourites. Sadly the wet weather meant that there was only a small inside ring to use which was not ideal when assessing movement. In general quality was good with winners outstanding. Front movement needs watching as a number were paddling in front. Coats in general were excellent with good preparation. I found no bad mouths with full dentition and correct scissor bites as I would expect. My concern is the lack of entries and where the next generation of exhibitors will be found. There are few youngsters coming into our ranks. Let’s hope that this will change before the breed becomes a rarity.

PD (1,0):

1. Hampton & Wynter’s Robelroy Many Dreams at Furlongfox. Nice youngster of good breed type. Good head with correct expression. Ears need to settle. In good coat & condition. Well prepared. Needs to strengthen in front, otherwise moved OK. Well handled.
