Class 10a - Judges critique:
1^st, K Rogers “ Aust Ch Beheamoth The Chosen One”
This was without doubt the best and strongest class of the show.

This beautiful bitch of 5 years of age came into the ring as if she owned it, from no matter where I stood looking at her she was showing herself off all the time. I do not intend to critique this exquisite bitch as she is as close to the breed standard as one could wish. Her ring presence was second to none, her attitude was exemplary, a superb example of our lovely strong breed.

2^nd, M Edwards “Gameguard Quince”. This sound moving fine bitch was only narrowly beaten by the best in show, another fine example of the breed who also did not stop showing the whole time she was in the ring.

Beautiful full square head with excellent expression when alerted. Good ear set and correct change in colour. Well set dark eyes with good stop, lovely square muzzle with good strong square underjaw, good dentition. Lovely sweeping arch of strong neck to well placed shoulders, good well muscled and boned forearms with nice tight feet. Good width and depth to chest giving lovely spring to rib and superb level back, good strong well muscled rear legs correctly angulated to provide the drive she showed when on the move, correct length and set of tail. Moved and handled to perfection.

3^rd K Cannon’s “Aust Ch Kangala Taylor Made”. Another superb example of the breed, 3 years old and absolutely superb, all three of these bitches were in the finest condition and very little separated them. This lovely fawn again had a superb head square from all angles, correctly set ears, beautiful dark well set eyes, correct length and colour of muzzle, super square jaw with strong underjaw giving good dentition.

Lovely strong arched neck to good strong well placed shoulders. Strong well muscled and boned forearms to good pasterns and strong cat like feet. Good spring of rib with level top line, good strong rear angulation, excellent bone throughout. Well set tail carried correctly on the move. Handled and moved superbly.
