Breed Critique -
Howgate & Hull's Palmik Queen of Diamonds JW. Judged this top quality r/br/w parti girl in the In-Show awards at EAWC recently and was in full agreement to her going BPIS there. With a couple more months under her belt she has really matured on and was looking great here. Such a very neat, feminine, well constructed puppy of a perfect size. Sweet head with flat skull, just enough length of
muzzle, a bright expression from lovely eyes. Long neck, well made front with elbows correctly under the withers, stands over plenty of ground on lovely legs and feet, beautiful body shape and tuck-up and she is well angulated behind with lovely but not exaggerated turn of stifle and good feet with well arched toes. In fine, short coat in good condition and handled well. She took a little while to settle on the move and was initially lifting her a front a touch but by the end of class she was showing that lovely balance, low extension and drive and one thing which always catches the eye is that flawless topline held on the move. In the challenge I considered long and hard but she was the one who most gave me what I was looking for and I was pleased to award her a well deserved BOB & BP. She is maturing into a super bitch and I'm sure will make up in short order. She later became the star of the day taking G3 and then PG1 & RBPIS, Congratulations!
