The one general criticism I have is that flat ribs and deep chests were lacking throughout.  On the plus side I found no cracked pads.

JUNIOR

1st Miteymidgets This Is Me: 14 month old bitch who oozed femininity. Correct head and eye. Good bite. Nice length of neck which flowed nicely into well laid back shoulders. Correct front with sloping pasterns. Pleasing rise over the loin, lovely bend of stifle. Moved well coming and going with a purposeful drive. Carried her tail well. Nice coat but I would have liked a harder condition overall. RBOB.
2nd Miteymidgets Say Mama: Litter sister to 1. This young bitch would have taken 1st place if her handler had succeeded in moving her with purpose.

POSTGRADUATE

1st Bluesmurf Utrinque Paratus: Nice head and eye, correct bite. Good sloping pasterns with a pleasing rise over the loin. I found this bitch narrow in front and would have liked more bend to stifle. This affected movement as, on the move, she lacked drive and threw her front feet out. Best coat of the day.

OPEN

1st Miteymidgets English Dream: A nice sized 14 month old dog. Correct head and eye with correct bite. Lovely length of neck, well laid back shoulders, good front with nicely sloping pasterns. Correct rise over the loin. Good bend to stifle with hocks well let down. On the move this young dog did appear slightly loose on the shoulder but this did not affect his foot placement and he drove well from behind moving with attitude. Tail was carried a little high on the move but the correct construction and I will, therefore, put this down to the attitude of a 14 month old dog. Nice coat and good hard condition overall. BOB.
