2004 Futurity Critique


Judge: Mel Holloman

The 6-9 month Brindle Dog class winner was a square puppy with a good topline, short, clean strong hocks.

The 6-9 month Fawn Dog class was rife with quality – my winner possessed the harmonious proportion of muzzle to skull that set him apart from the rest.

The 9-12 month Brindle Dog class was an excellent picture of overall balance.

The 9-12 month Fawn Dog class winner was a dog of good substance, while maintaining elegance in combination with an excellent front assembly.

The 6-9 month Brindle Bitch class was a very nice class, with striking color, short backs, and good feet and pasterns. The class winner had an excellent head and mouth to accompany her other attributes.

The 6-9 month Fawn Bitch class again presented me with good depth of quality. The winner was square with a smooth, firm topline and a good front assembly.

The 9-12 month Brindle Bitch class winner had a short back, a good bite, and hocks well let down.

The 9-12 month Fawn Bitch class offered some exceptional heads, and color that contributed to arresting style. The winner had a good front and a short, smooth and firm topline.

Best Puppy was the 9-12 puppy dog, with a good width of muzzle, a nice dark eye of proper shape and placement, and a correct front assembly. 

The 12-15 month Brindle Dog class winner possessed a neck that flowed into a smooth topline, substance and elegance – a nice stand up show dog.

In the 12-15 month Fawn Dog class, the competition was close. The winner displayed a greater harmony in the headpiece.

The 15-18 month Brindle Dog class winner had strong limbs, a short back, and showed himself well.

The 15-18 month Fawn Dog class winner was smooth, moderate in size and had a good presence for the ring.

The 12-15 month Brindle Bitch class winner was all the things I wanted to see in a young bitch.

The 12-15 month Fawn Bitch class winner had a pretty black face, with a good depth of brisket and well developed musculature.

The 15-18 month Brindle Bitch class winner had a good topline, shoulders that were long and sloping, coupled with a good turn of stifle.

The 15-18 month Fawn Bitch class winner offered good overall balance, a nice neck, and a short back.

The best junior was my 12-15 month brindle bitch; Upon viewing her free, ground covering stride and proud carriage; I AWARDED HER GRAND PRIZE FUTURITY!!!!!!!! To see her is to witness the qualities that enamored us all of The Boxer.

I had a grand time; thanks for having me. I hope the Fancy enjoyed watching.  See you at the dog shows.

Mel
