Minkynips Is What
Her Latest Showing Critique by judge Heather Donnolly
'Is What' is a bitch showing extreme elegance throughout. Her head, muzzle to skull proportions are correct with good chiselling & tri patterning. She has a very attentive expression. Her slightly arched neck is of good length leading into an excellent shoulder. She has the correct length, width & slope of pastern. Her pelvic bones start in the correct position showing a long well angled upper thigh & croup. On the move there was no crabbing or weaving although gaited at top speed. Just her lack of maturity held her back from taking top honours today!
