Summer 2019 Saber Tails 15
I would like to tell all of you
how much I appreciate your
choosing me to judge the 2019
PBGVCA National. I truly en-
joyed myself.
I was most pleased to see so
many pro sternums and great
shoulder layback on so many of
the young puppies. Unfortu-
nately it seemed the more ma-
ture dogs were lacking this important trait. As a matter
of fact, most had the pro sternums groomed in. The word
must have gotten out that I don’t like over groomed dogs
so there were a few but for the most part the exhibits
were casual and tosseled. My main focus was on move-
ment. My thought process was, “Could this dog hunt in
Vendeen, France, all day successfully?”
National Conformation Judge’s Comments
by Carol Doerge
My BISS I believed was an excellent representative of
our precious breed, especially for his age. He was a great
mover, good coat texture and truly wanted the prize. I
was most impressed. My BOS also had fantastic move-
ment. The BOW will have a great future in the ring as he
possessed all the features he needed to succeed.
Selection of my Select Dog and Bitch and my Awards of
Merit was very difficult since they all had excellent move-
ment and were structurally outstanding.
Overall I was very pleased with all my entries and I hope
everyone was pleased with the outcome. I hope in the
future I will have the honor to judge this breed we all love
and adore. Thank you again!
