General Critique
I had a marvellous time judging some beautiful Griffons at your Club Specialty. I was really eager to see some dogs and lines that I had never seen in person. I was not disappointed at all.
Overall it was a lovely entry; many with excellent breed type. Heads in general were quite nice. General issues were lack of properly domed fore face/strong stops. Overall expression was good in most entries. I am one for very strong substance and bone in Griffons (as I am sure you noticed from the winners) and I thought there was room for improvement here in some. That said, I was impressed with the overall top lines, tail sets and outlines. Do keep an eye on the length of your Griffons though as they must be square to have proper breed type. The great majority of the dogs had excellent temperaments. Movement in general was more than adequate which is impressive for a toy breed.
I was more than happy with the quality of the dogs. Congratulations to the committee and club members for putting on such a top flight specialty. I was truly honoured to be part of your 40th anniversary show. Thank you for inviting me and showing me such great hospitality. Keep up the good work; you are doing a great job.
