Judge’s Critique

Judge: Prof G Giambona (Trinashores)

Overall comments

I would like to thank the Society and Committee for inviting me to judge this lovely show. The Bernese Mountain Dog is a breed very close to my heart and I enjoyed the day immensely. The show was part of a two-day event that was a fitting celebration of the breed. Well done to everyone involved for organising everything to perfection.

The quality of the dogs was, overall, excellent, the atmosphere joyous and supportive. Thank you to my steward for ensuring everything in the ring run like clockwork. A huge thanks to the exhibitors for bringing their dogs and for accepting my decisions with excellent sportsmanship.

Baby Puppy Dog  (3, 2)

1^st Fox’s Roesilbern Water Stunner: 5 mo with an impressive outline. Head developing well, good dark eyes, excellent bone throughout. He was carrying a fraction too much weight on the day. Needs to settle on the move. He will have a bright future!

Baby Puppy Bitch (4, 1)

1^st Harris & Hayward’s Kernow Winter Wonderland: very much a baby at 4 and ½ months. Developing well. Good head and markings. Strong front. Excellent mover with excellent tail carriage. Best Baby Puppy in Show

2^nd Copeland’s Kernow Prize at Maxjabar: Another nice baby presenting a nice outline. Good head markings, dark eyes and strong front. Needs to grow in confidence in the ring and to settle on the move.

2^nd Harwood’s Waldershelf Tintagel Thor: Another correctly marked, quality puppy with great outline and a super head. Topline needs to firm up but this will come with age. He was a bit sluggish on the move today, perhaps due to the warm weather.
