I couldn’t hear/understand some of it, but what I did hear sounded pretty darn good!
This is what I can hear:
___ are SG, 2 are G
Winner #49,
male is ________,
good in size,
very masculine,
strong head,
high whither,
hard back,
croup should be a little longer,
nice chest,
normal front,
________ good,
excellent angulation,
powerful thrust in back,
nice in front,
goes very nicely in gait.
Congratulations.
Thank you. That helped fill in some of the parts that I missed. I believe I also heard “good weight” toward the beginning of the critique.
I thought I heard that too, but it did not really make sense, probably the original comment was “good condition”…my guess anyway.
You are probably right about that. Usually they don’t say anything about the weight unless the dog is too fat! Ivan is in very nice condition. Wait until you see him again! Oh, I should say—wait until you see him IN NASS this year. 🙂
The judge said 4 x SG, 2 x G
We heard “good weight” in there somewhere too.
Too bad there is so much background noise.
Thanks for the recap Julie, I really struggled to hear everything also. I had to chuckle to myself when Ivan decided “OK I know I’m perfect, I’m out of here!” Thanks for sharing Lynda.
For some reason I had to go to work to get the video, so I couldn’t play loud enough to figure it all out. Thank goodness for the recap. Lynda, he must have seen Carole’s easter bonnet and decided he was out of there and to get it. LOL. He is very handsome.
