Champ Show 2005

CRITIQUE

To: Queensland Boxer Club.

Firstly, I would like to thank the Queensland Boxer Club for the invitation to Judge your Boxer Championship Show and the hospitality that was extended to my wife, Barbara and me. Secondly, I would like to thank the exhibitors for their entry and good sportsmanship displayed on the day.

Generally speaking, the heads were quite typical and have improved since I was last in Brisbane. Mouths were a bit 'mixed' in quality - I saw some good ones and some that were not so. Eyes also were also 'mixed' as some were more almond shaped than open in shape. I did see one that was too open and large. This of course affected the expression. Movement was disappointing in some exhibits. Hindquarter movement was in many cases weak. I did see many 'crabbing' with an inefficient movement. It is always good to see a Boxer moving with ease and covering ground without too much effort.

Baby Puppy Dog

This young red/white male is waiting for 'turn up' of muzzle which should come with maturity, I would prefer a higher tail set. Hindquarters also may improve with maturity and exercise.

Junior Dog

1st

This dog was of good type. A strong masculine dog but would have preferred a shorter back and more length of upper arm.

2nd

This exhibit was of good type, however not as well developed in bone as No 1

3rd

Movement needs improvement - exercise may help.

Intermediate Dog

1st

This exhibit was typically a 'square' dog but needed a little more drive from the rear. More depth of chin would improve his head.

2nd

This dog also needed more drive from the hindquarters and was not as short in back as No 1

3rd

This dog needed a little more turn of stifle. More turn up of muzzle would improve his head.

Australian Bred

1st

Good type excellent head and correct front assembly, more rear drive would have improved this dog overall.

Open Dog - Challenge Dog and Best in Show

1st

I liked this dog. He was of excellent breed type, strong head with excellent rise of skull. He has a short back, correct front and correct high set tail. Displayed typical Boxer temperament.

2nd Reserve Challenge Dog

This was another excellent dog and good competition to the first dog. He was typical in most respects but could have had more drive.

3rd

This was a good class of Boxers. Another good example of this breed. I would have preferred more turn of stifle in this dog.

4th

Also good breed type but would have improved with more muscle development in the upper thigh.

Baby Puppy Bitch

1st

Puppies are sometimes unpredictable; however, this young lady needs to improve in the topline. Of course this may come with maturity.

2nd

On the day this puppy appeared a little longer in back than the first place winner. Topline also could have been straighter.

Minor Puppy Bitch

1st

This was a good type of young Bitch and shows promise. Feminine, good topline, turn up of muzzle yet to come. Overall, a promising young, 'eye catching' Bitch.

Puppy Bitch

1st

A feminine, sound Bitch. Good correct muzzle and chin, however, could 'break' a little with maturity and this would improve her head.

2nd

This exhibit was a little longer in back than No 1. If muzzle breaks (turns up) and hind-quarters strengthen, this will improve her overall.

3rd

Would have preferred more depth of muzzle, shorter back and more strength in the hind- quarters.

Junior Bitch

1st

Correct type, correct head, muzzle and expression. Moved well. Brisket should improve in depth with maturity.

2nd

A good typical square body. Would prefer her mouth and chin to be wider.

3rd

Good expression, would have liked to see this Bitch move with more purpose.

Intermediate Bitch

1st

Good correct type. A sound mover. Head could be improved by a wider muzzle and chin.

2nd

This Bitch moved soundly, however would have preferred a darker eye colour and wider muzzle.

3rd

Would have preferred more rise of skull.

Australian Bred Bitch - Bitch Challenge and Runner Up to Best in Show

1st

A soundly constructed Bitch. Moved with purpose and covered the ground with ease. She not only had reach but drive to match. Possibly the best and most correct mover on the day. A wider chin would have been an improvement.

2nd

Good type with good head that would have been improved with a wider muzzle.

3rd

I would have preferred a shorter back and better expression for this Bitch.

Open Bitch - Reserve Bitch Challenge

1st

This Bitch moved well. She had a strong head with correct proportions, more turn up of muzzle would improve. For a Bitch, she had strong, well developed musculation.

2nd

Good feminine Bitch, could move with more purpose.

3rd

This Bitch was a little longer in back than the 1st and 2nd placegetters. Would have preferred better movement.

I do hope my comments on your Boxers are of help to you. Overall, I believe that as you have improved your heads so much, you should now be looking at the strength & musculation of the hindquarters as movement needs improving.
