BITCHES

I would sincerely like to thank The Officers and Committee for inviting me to judge at this prestigious show. I would also like to thank all of the exhibitors for the lovely entry and acceptance of my decisions. It was greatly appreciated even if it made some decisions difficult because of so many quality bitches.

I had many good cockers to handle and judge but have some concerns about the excessive length in loins, lack of a good spring of riband narrow/close hindquarters. Some bitches who looked lovely when first n the ring paid the price for either too much weight and/or moving too close in hind movement.

The breed standard states : “a cocker should have hindquarters that are well rounded and very muscular. Legs well boned and a good bend of stifle. Short below the hock allowing for plenty of drive. Please remember a cocker should be merry , sturdy, well blanched and short coupled.
