Great statement Bill! Personally, I would love to be able to show under Jack.
I feel as you do, I think he will make a very good judge, and judge precisely
the way he writes his critiques.

Jack combines both a passionate and analytical approach in his critique. I
liked
t for its combination of honesty, completeness, emotion and decriptiveness. If
e judges as well as he writes critiques he will be a credit to the judging
lement and the breed. I look forward to seeing Jack in the center of the ring.
e should all feel so lucky to feel the passion when seeing a beautiful specimen
f the breed that Jack evokes.

GDC of Canada Regional Specialty - hosted by The GSDC of Quebec (2 dogs, 9
itches, 1 dog special, 4 bitch specials)
igaud, Quebec - August 1st, 2010 - Judge Jack Kilgour
st Open Male, Winner Male - Toskia Jay Star (Ch. Kaleef's Joshua V Kenlyn x Ch.
anlousvir's Mirka)
he first impression of this large, black and light tan dog is one of
oderation, balance and good proportions. He reacted adequately to my loose lead
emperament approach. He stood his ground but the look in his eye lacked some
onfidence. His head is nicely conformed (eyes, ears, skull and length of
uzzle). He needs more depth of under jaw. For a dog his size his overall bone
hould be better. He stands straight in the forelegs and hocks when viewed from
ront or rear.
his dog has a muscular, long neck and a high wither sloping into a level back.
is croup is short. His forequarter angulation is sufficient, only slightly
traight in both shoulder blade and upper arm. His rear angulation is moderate.
e is clean coming and going. His gait is fluid, with adequate reach and drive.
e tends to kick up in the rear on his follow through.
2nd Open Male, Reserve Winners Male - Radisson's Caruso (Ch. Riverstone's
omplete Chaos x Radisson's Wonderful)
his medium-sized, black and red male could quite coincidently be described a
completely chaotic and wonderful", with the former ultimately sealing his fate
n my ring on this day. He reacted well on his temperament test. His skull and
uzzle are nicely conformed, his eye is round, his ears somewhat soft and his
nder jaw lacks the required depth. He has an awesome shoulder layback with
deal blade/upper arm angles. He stands close and east-west in front, his
asterns are weak and feet are flat. He has a strong back and his ribbing is
oth long and well sprung. He has a lovely underline. His croup is long and it
lopes well. He is extremely angled in hindquarter - a shade too long in lower
high. He is cow-hocked and ligaments are loose. He is close coming at me and
ot clean going away. His extreme angles say he is built to take a big stride
nd he does his best.but can not pull it off because of his weak hindquarters
nd poor overall ligamentation.
1st Open Female, Winners Female, Best of Winners - Stonewall's Lookaliker
Karizma's Nicaragua x Stonewall's She's Got The Look)
his feminine, medium-sized sable bitch impressed me from the moment she
ffortlessly gaited into my ring. She had an ideal, typical German Shepherd Dog
eaction on my temperament exam. Her height/length proportions are good. She has
beautiful head, strong ear and nice eyes. She appeared a little out of coat.
he has a strong back. Her croup is a shade steep. Her front legs are straight
nd her feet and pasterns strong.
he is deep-bodied with a beautiful, long ribcage and short, well-muscled loin.
er upper arm is long and well angled - her shoulder blade is a little straight.
er hindquarter angulation is good. She comes at me correctly. She goes away too
losely and stands a shade cow-hocked. When gaiting on a taut lead the outline
rom the side is impressive. good topline with a very nice reach and drive. On a
oose lead she tended to drop just a smidge in the shoulder.
1st 12-18 Month Female, Reserve Winners Bitch - Harmonia's Gypsy Black Rhythm
Woodside's High Voltage x Camareigh's Gemini of Shebland)
hen this curvy, ELEGANT, solid-black, feminine and NOBLE bitch came in my ring
tried to maintain a "poker face." It wasn't easy. She looks like GVX
ettuccini with a black dress on. She reacted perfectly on her temperament exam.
er head is STRONG, without any tendency to the doggy. She has a beautifully-
haped skull, long, strong ears, perfect length of muzzle and depth of under
aw. Her eyes emote that "look of eagles" or "nobility" we so rarely see. Her
eck is strong, long, well-arched and muscled. Her withers are high, her back is
trong and her croup is long and perfectly sloped. She is a medium-large bitch.
er height-to-length proportions are ideal - although I'd like her a little
horter at the withers and in the loin. She is substantial with beautiful, oval
one. She needs to drop a smidge in chest, but she is typical for this age.
very time she stopped her front legs/feet were straight as were her hocks. Her
ocks are a bit long. Her fore
assembly is perfectly
angled and well laid back. Her rear angulation is in total balance with the
ore. This bitch absolutely "did me in" standing but is at her best when in
otion. Coming and going she is clean. From the side, on a tight or loose lead,
he stays "framed up." Her gait is powerful, efficient, suspended, effortless
nd out-reaching and she keeps her feet low to the ground.
Judging Winners Bitch
efore my five class winning bitches took a lap, I put the 12-18 month bitch in
ront and the Open bitch in second. The same handler won with both and stayed on
he Open Bitch. The black bitch pulled, scrambled and raced like a roadrunner on
peed the whole time around the ring. Long, sad story made short - I gave the
andler a few chances to slow her down, I re-tested her temperament - she
eacted perfectly to me again - so I can only assume she did not "appreciate"
omeone new running behind her. Not quite so perfect after all.
put the beautiful sable back out front and she won the points easily. The
riginal handler came back in on the 12-18 month bitch for reserve. She returned
o her comfort zone and she gaited at an easy trot without putting a foot down
rong.. <sigh>.
Best of Breed - Ch. Shebland's Grayson Camareigh (Almar's Nubian Prince x Ch.
rownhill-Kysarah's New Quest)
his is one of the most CORRECT German Shepherd Dogs I have seen in a long, long
ime. He gaited into my ring and within 3 or 4 strides he lowered his head and
as reaching and driving ON A LOOSE LEAD covering the maximum ground with
inimum amount of steps. He did so EFFORTLESSLY. This dog saw me approach him
nd confidently stood his ground on a loose lead. He is a medium-sized, black
nd tan with a noble expression and masculine head. He has strong ears,
lmond-shaped eyes, and a nice length and depth of under jaw. He has a little
oo much stop for my liking. He is high-withered, with a natural sloping
opline. His ribbing is ideal and his loin short and well-muscled. His
roportions are to standard and his depth of body is sufficient. Every time the
og stops he plants them straight, fore and rear. His pasterns are well-angled
nd his foot is well-padded and tight. His is correctly angled in forequarters
nd hindquarters. He is a smidge short in
croup. He is perfect comin
and going and from the side, he reaches and drives without effort. Too often
e forget about our breed's unique characteristic of total suspension. We know
ow the standard describes it - this dog is a great example of how it actually
ooks.
Best Opposite Sex - Ch. Stonewall's Dirty Look (Karizma's Nicaragua x
tonewall's She's Got The Look)
f you haven't seen this bitch move before, I would suggest contacting her
wners to see if there's a video of her in motion out there. She is the epitome
f our standard's description of the ideal hindquarter. Her powerful under-reach
nd the clean, long stroke of her follow-through are hard to beat. She is a
eminine, medium-sized, solid-black bitch shown in muscular condition with an
deal coat. She reacted well when I tested her temperament. Her head is too
efined for my liking, lacking width of skull and muzzle. Her ears are strong
nd her eyes are dark. She has a long, elegant neck, her withers are high her
uscular back is firm and level. Her height-length proportions are ideal. Her
epth of chest, spring and length of rib and her underline are correct. She is
ine-boned and overall lacking substance.
his bitch has an ideal forequarter to match that incredible hindquarter. Her
orelegs are straight, pasterns are correct and her hocks are both straight and
hort. I was a little disappointed in her reaction to my hands on examination.
he displayed an uncomfortable look when I approached her "on the stack" and she
eaned her body (accordion-style) into her handler's knee when I went over her
ody and tail. I re-tested her on a loose lead and she confidently stood and let
e touch her.
General Observations
entition was good, although some exhibitors need to be reminded to clean their
og's teeth. One exhibitor should remember good sportsmanship is a big part of
hy we enjoy ourselves at a dog show.
f I were handing out "Excellent" ratings on this day, my Best of Breed dog,
est Opposite Sex bitch, Best of Winners bitch, Reserve Winners bitch and a
pecials bitch (who made the final cut) would all be recipients. This list
lready heard about the great hospitality and tenacity of this small,
ost-club.congratulations again, and merci beaucoup!
