Critiques:
The Boxer Club Inc. October 2007 Judge: Mr Barrie Alton – Tarpen Boxers (UK)
Dark Brindle bitch, excellent front, well schooled, moved well, I like the head, skull is nice and lean, correct depth, and width of muzzle, excellent topline, strong in rear quarters, good angulation. A very nice bitch to see on the move and to go over. Reserve Bitch Challenge, Best Puppy in Show, Best Puppy Overall
The Boxer Club Inc. February 2009 Judge: Mr Paul Harding - Pringham Bulldogs (UK)
Very stylish with a super outline, lovely dark expressive eye well padded muzzle good lip placement and correct bite. Well arched neck, lovely topline and bang on tailset presented a very balanced picture with all the correct angles. Moved with ease and style as one would expect. Bitch Challenge, Best Champion, Best Bitch Head
South Island Boxer Club September 2009 Judge: Mrs Claire Kay - Seacrest Boxers (UK)
Ultra elegant feminine b/w, clean head with lean skull, just lacks a little filling under eyee, super flowing outline which she carried well on the move, unrestricted stride of good length, a very well muscled rear which provided a good driving action. Bitch Challenge, Reserve Best in Show, Best Intermediate in Show
Central Boxer Club March 2010 Judge: Mr Bill Anderson - Bomark Boxers (VIC, Aust)
Strong headed, stylish bitch of good size and stature. Balanced angulation front and rear with a good reach of neck. Well made forequarters with good length of shoulder and upper arm and forelimbs firmly beneath the withers. Well let down hocks. Second thigh could be a little shorter. Good width of upper thigh. Good musculation throughout. Balanced head to body, elegantly carried, with good arch of neck, flowing smoothly into withers. Prefer straighter back from withers to hip, and a shorter loin. Good length of croup and correct tail set. Head of good depth, nicely arched forehead in profile. Well carried ears. Pleasing intelligent expression, with strength in muzzle, good fill under the eyes, strong underjaw and good bite. Good extension going around. Topline could be firmer. Stands with straight, parallel limbs. Feet could be better. 2nd in NZ Bred Bitch Class
The Boxer Club Inc Champ Show November 2010 Judge: Monique Hodgkinson - Tanyati Boxers (South Africa)
1st: No 36. Greer & Davis’ Ch Sivad A Thing Called Love: 4 year old very striking dark b/w bitch, presented in super condition and very well handled. Gorgeous head and expression, with good rise of skull, a well padded muzzle and good lip placement. Beautiful elegant neck, excellent shoulder and good height at the wither. Well placed elbows, very good depth of chest, excellent topline and very good tailset. Slightly too long in loin. While I found her hindquarter to have rather more angle than I would like, she has very strong hock joints and well let down rear pasterns. Moves effortlessly, but with slightly more action in the rear than ideal.
Final Cut for Bitch Challenge, Best Brood Bitch in Show
The Boxer Club Inc Champ Show November 2011 Judge: Faye Crooks (Tyeanbo Boxers, VIC Australia)
1ST - 27. Ch Sivad A Thing Called Love 5 year old dark brindle bitch with well proportioned head and an excellent mouth, expressive dark eyes, well placed ears, arched neck, again well angled would prefer her a little shorter in the loin, level top line moved well. She is a quality bitch. Best Brood Bitch in Show
