National Critique
16th National Cocker Spaniel Championship Show hosted by
The Cocker Spaniel Club Of Victoria Inc.
It seemed such a long time ago when I was invited to judge the Australian National Cocker Spaniel Club, months of excitement, what an opportunity, a terrific honour indeed. My thanks first of all to the Officers and Committee for their invitation, the highlight of my judging career to date. A task to be carried out with the integrity it commands. Thanks also to the exhibitors, most of whom had travelled vast distances, for allowing me privilege of handling their dogs, an entry of 197, and for the sporting way in which my decisions were accepted.
To my stewards, Lyn Walton and Marilyn Warren who kept the procedures flowing throughout the show, huge thanks ladies, I could not have done it without you.
Mr Michael Looby, MC, fantastic job, thank you. This is when the enormity of the task ahead became a reality. A huge responsibility.
To all the dedicated people who work tirelessly “behind the scenes” for months and months, planning and delivering such a prestigious event, credit to you all. The show ran with the precision of a military operation. No attention to detail had been overlooked, amazing and the sheer generosity of all involved unbelievable.
I came to this judging appointment determined to find the composite elements which identify our breed from all the rest. I was looking for exhibits which in my mind epitomised the standard of the Cocker Spaniel.
Without exception the exhibits were presented in clean condition, the bite in one or two untidy with a misplaced tooth and point for consideration, tail sets were high, incorrect, on several exhibits.
I found depth of quality in numbers in the parti colours which on the whole, in my opinion, were stronger than the solids. In the solids, very generally speaking, I found some fronts to be upright with little return of upper arm which gives rise to short stilted movement with no ground covering on the move. I did however find some beautiful heads on the solids, particularly the bitches. That said, I was more than delighted with my winners, I handled lots of great dogs and in some classes I would have liked two sets of cards.
I thoroughly enjoyed my judging and have memories which will last for ever. There are some wonderful cockers in Australia, cockers which could hold their own amongst the best of the best anywhere.
Sincerley, thank you,
Pat Whitehead, Ryallcourt Cocker Spaniels.
