    That's a shame but very wise. I'm not doing LKA but lets hope we don't have a rerun of the early nineties when people were stranded for hours on end:eek:
  • What does a good front look like?

    Everyone's ideal chest is different. Here's what I consider a good chest. You will want depth, with the breastplate not too far back. The 'pigeon chest' that Pat was talking about is IMO the concave look that we are seeing more and more of. When you see this chest, you will usually see the front legs lining up closer and closer to each other. Here's a picture of Damisi's chest-which I consider to be a better chest these days. You will notice there is not much concave and the legs sit farther apart. You also want the upper arm to be of the same length as the lower leg. This is the bone that goes from the chest to the elbow and the elbow to the ankle. Robert Cole states "the foreleg…should be longer measured from an elbow to the ground than the body is deep." [image: SDC11407.jpg] [image: SDC11408.jpg] Also here's what I consider a good ear set. Yes, Sugar's ears are a little large, but with the ear set, it doesn't look bad. Damisi has much finer ears. Small and hooded. (Second set of pics.) [image: SDC11412.jpg] [image: SDC11417.jpg] [image: SDC11415.jpg] [image: SDC11419.jpg] Damisi has a very tiny head, so her ears look more in proportion in the pics, when they are actually quite small. Don't anyone else be afraid to pick my dogs apart, as I also like to hear the good and bad to see what I can improve when I am picking stud for breeding. It helps more than you can imagine.

    Thanks everyone!! I do love doing the Stakes classes, its always nice to put your dog up against other breeds, and you get to chat to people with different breeds which i enjoy :) We were not at all disappointed about the finals though, obviously it would have been lovely to get through, but she is such a very young baby it would have been quite amazing if she had! Its just so lovely to have been put through on her day, im so proud of my little Maya :D Was a very good weekend for the pups. The current pups are just doing so well, what with Sparky getting his tickets/BDs, the little girl getting BIS at Northern and of course theres been a few getting BPIS's at open shows like lovely Poppy - it must be fantastic for the breed :D
