Mrs Karin SWERYDA

Judging: Gordon Setter, Gundog Group

Where have all our beautiful brick heads gone.I did feel that many dogs had lost their brick on brick head with too many sloping stops, I also felt that movement was not at its best,when you move your dog ask someone to watch the dog move and seeif it can be made better,it does help if many handlers went in a straight line and to the speed that suits your dog.Muscle tone was also weak in some exhibits,hindquarters should be broad and muscular they should have good muscle,they are free running dogs and should be strong but not overdone in the inner thigh.

 I would like to thank LKA committee for inviting me to judge my favourite breed,
