UNITED KINGDOM TOYDOG SOCIETY CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 31ST MARCH 2018

Pomeranian

Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge this lovely breed and to my very efficient stewards John and Kacey Green. Thank you also to you the exhibitors, it was an honour and a privilege to go over your lovely dogs. I truly enjoyed my day even though at times we seemed to have ‘extra’ visitors in the ring! My winners very much fulfilled what I hoped to find in the breed today. Trimming, presentation and overall quality of coat was in the main pleasing, however, there were a few trimmed right down to the undercoat a trend that I wish would cease. Many classes were strong in quality and it was a case of splitting hairs on several occasions. Now to the nitty gritty, my main concern is on the number of Open fontanels found. We must remember we are on the category 2 breed watch list and as such it was disappointing to find several in the adults, and a few puppies that had open fonts of such a size it was difficult to imagine they would close sufficiently. Mouths still need to be watched, I am not a mouth fanatic and allowing for puppies changing teeth and for older Poms that may have lost an odd tooth, I still found a couple of under shot and over shot mouths. I was pleased to see that movement has on the whole improved with most in the top three placings showing the free, brisk and buoyant gait required. Please take my comments in a positive and constructive way as we do have the most wonderful breed.
