Judges Critique for Hound Club of East Anglia
open show 13.06.09.
Held at Sacrewell Farm & Country Centre, Thornhaugh, Peterborough.
Judge—Mr John Mackfall. (Africaner)
Breed--- Rhodesian Ridgebacks.A wonderful venue for open shows,
sadly a breed club open show was on the following day so turn out was low.
I was happy to see that all the dogs were to the standard of the breed and
all with good quality of ridge and crowns, good length of tail and level
top lines, all had good temperaments. The handlers were made to work hard
which involved a lot of running.
