DANE OF THE YEAR

15^TH OCTOBER 2006

JUDGE: MS JENNIE ROBERTS

 3^rd Junior Dog (14 Entries)

1^st Special Open Mantle Dog (6 entries)

 Critique: 16months old very classy Dane not overdone anywhere. Just about enough angulation fore and aft. Pleasing head with kind eye and certainly knew how to move. Should think he has a bright future.

 

 THE GREAT DANE CLUB OPEN SHOW

18^TH NOVEMBER 2006

Judge - Mr R Beal

 1^st Junior Dog (10 entries)

1^st Special Open Mantle Dog

Critique: Mantle dog, who is every inch a Dane displaying the required, but sadly elusive, dash and dare both standing and on the move. Whilst he lacks the preferred full white collar his colour is within the standard and his undeniably good construction and movement took him to the top of the class. Super head, strong yet not overdone, with true expression although I would prefer a tighter eye. Excellent straight front which is well filled, super bone and cat like feet. His neck is set well into correct shoulders, however cleaner withers would complete a super forehand. In very good condition with firm topline and loin, correct croup and turn of stifle. Terrific forward reach, he stode out well with drive from the rear. At 17months, and being a big lad, he is not yet fully mature. Earned more than a second glance in the challenge

3^rd DECEMBER 2006

Judge - Mrs Ann Morris

 1st Yearling Dog (14 entries)

1^st Novice Dog (7 Entries)

1^st Special Open Mantle Dog (3 entries)

 Critique: Mantle in good hard condition with gleaming coat, markings and pigment correct but would prefer a full collar but his conformation and movement won out for me. Overall a very nice youngster in any coat colour.
