Banff (30 Oct) Judge Irene Glen, 1st AV NSC Utility PG, Mossport Michelangelo.

Hi, not good news I am sorry - the first two are not published no critique from those two judges the last has a critique published but they have only listed the name of the winner of the AV NSC Utility.

Thanks for looking Jackie.

Lorna.

Henri send an email to dog world and they will confirm if they've received a critique or not.

Thanks Sal, Dog World won't print them now, it's after the 3 months where they won't print them after that.  At least I know what the Judge thought when he was BOB and Group 2 as she told me, just curious about the other two.

NO, a brief but glowing critique, well done a nice win from a NSC class.

All ways think the Utility classes are difficult there are so many very smart breeds in it yours being one, if they are good they always look the part and show so well.

I often think utilitys a bit of a nightmare group.lol I started showing standard schnauzers 12 years ago and there not so flashy as the minis so often get lost in with the poodles, lhasas etc. When it comes down to the crunch in a NSC class a fancy poodle will usualy place over a nice workman like schnauzer :(

My minis quite flashy but a total nightmare to show, she's totaly wired so if there's anything interesting going on outside the ring it's hard to keep her attention. Thankfully shes addicted to cat toys so a bit of bribery usualy works!

Know what you mean, being interested in everything is what gives the ring presence but it is difficult to keep their attention.
