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.
