Critique \u2013 Northern Saluki Club Championship Show U.K. \u2013 April, 2018<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Firstly I would like to thank the members and committee of The Northern Saluki Club U.K. for electing me to judge your Ruby Anniversary Saluki Specialty April, 2018 Show.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My special thanks to John Owen and the committee for all their hard work on such a smoothly run show. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I would like to congratulate the exhibitors for their attitude and sportsmanship in the way my decisions were accepted, perhaps on a different day, some of my decisions may have been different. \u00a0Also a special thanks to the exhibitors for without you, I would not have had such a memorable day and making the day so special for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I can\u2019t also forget to thank my hardworking Stewards John Walton-Haddon and George Webster, who kept me so well organized on the day with the running of my ring, that I was free to concentrate on judging the Salukis.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In some of the classes, I found Salukis who I felt could have had a better neck into shoulder\/forward in shoulder. There were quite a lot either weak rears or the second thigh was too long, the key word in the Saluki Standard is \u2018moderate\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Overall I was very impressed with the muscle tone of my entry, and very happy with the Saluki heads, and only found a couple of bad bites, and also in most cases the feet were also correct. \u00a0And didn\u2019t really find any temperament or pigmentation problems, which is a real credit to Saluki people that exhibited to me on the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In some cases, owners of my place getters may think I am being too critical; I try not to be when doing my critiques after I have judged your much loved Salukis. \u00a0So if I have offended any one with my comments on their Salukis, I apologise.<\/span><\/p>\n
