Update! Canine Chronicle Virtual Dog Show – You Be The Judge – English Setters
Bitch A
It is time to put your thinking caps on! For today’s Virtual Dog Show, we are asking our readers to be the judge and place the following three English Setter bitches First, Second, and Third AND to tell us why.
The complete AKC Official Breed Standard for the English Setter is available online here. As quoted from the AKC Standard, the general appearance of an English Setter is as follows:
General Appearance : An elegant, substantial and symmetrical gun dog suggesting the ideal blend of strength, stamina, grace, and style. Flat – coated with feathering of good length. Gaiting freely and smoothly with long forward reach, strong rear drive and firm topline. Males decidedly masculine without coarseness. Females decidedly feminine without over – refinement. Overall appearance, balan ce, gait, and purpose to be given more emphasis than any component part. Above all, extremes of anything distort type and must be faulted.
UPDATE: Our at home judges overwhelmingly chose Bitch “A” as their first choice. Thank you to Lourdes Fernandez of Bourbon English Setters for sharing these beautiful photos with us for this series.
If you have 3 dog photos of your own you would like to share for this series or have any feedback – please email Cheslie at cheslie@caninechronicle.com. We look forward to your participation!
