Critique from the Scottish Kennel Club May Show

Seren’s critique from the May SKC show. Thank you to judge Jenny Wright for such a comprehensive, honest and helpful critique.
I always find showing Seren more stressful than Lottie or Mac, maybe it’s because she’s my homebred baby, and my pick of the litter, but I love what she does in the ring and how she works.
The future is going to be bright for my little feral star 🌟❤️

Limit Bitch Entries 12 0 Abs.
1st.and RBCC Wallington’s Ailsadot Astral Lyra.
3 years, black spotted. This bitch has lovely breed type with nothing exaggerated about her. Has substance and overall, in a fit muscular condition. (I liked her size and weight proportions). Good head shape with a dark eye, correct ear placement and carries her ears well. With dark pigmented black spots on a pure white background, she is eye catching. This bitch excels in front assembly, with a well angulated front and a good layback of shoulder. A level, strong, powerful back, with a strong loin and breadth to loin, transitioning into strong, rounded hindquarters, a correct tail set and carriage completes the picture. Where she comes into her own is on the move. Absolutely reaches and drives with propulsion, keeping a level top line and a rhythmic action. I considered her for top honours, she truly looks good in profile action, moves effortlessly around the ring. (Just some constructive criticism, handler appeared a little nervous and needs to relax, has a habit of ‘pillaring’ the bitch’s neck, which pushes her whole front assembly back and detracts from a clean outline, this can easily be remedied with practice. This is a fine example of the breed; she will stand naturally if allowed to without the above that spoils her overall outline).

Hi, I am the lucky slave to three beautiful, charismatic black spotted Dalmatians, Mac, Lottie and Seren, our homebred baby, as well as Eira, our beautiful, full of life, liver spotted homebred baby. Our kennel name, Ailsadot, is in memory of our beautiful Ailsa, who we lost far too young.
