Thank you to the Officers and Committee for the Invitation to Judge at their Championship Show, any Club Show is an honour but much more so for a non Breed person.
Not a bad entry numerically but I was disappointed in the quality of some of the Exhibits, size and balance were a problem making decisions very difficult in some classes. I felt the Bitches overall were better than the dogs. Not an easy Appointment.
Puppy Dog(1) 1/ Miles / Dean and Cullen – Skylines Outlander at Lekkerbek (imp Usa), 11months well made youngster, scores for bone and feet body is developing well with good angulation fore and aft. When he settled he went well out and back. Hope he has finished growing.
Junior Dog (3) 1/ Johnston &Atkinson – Winkelstar Namid, felt this dog scored for balance over the second, he has a lovely front with good shoulders firm top line and good quarters. Nice coat texture and good reach and drive on the move. 2/ Comperat – Bargeway Boomerang, Liked the head eye and expression on this dog, very good pigment looks good on the stack. Strong hind action but not so positive in front as winner.
Post Graduate (2) 1/ Gate – Winkelstar Alnair via Lacetrom JW, Loved his size and balance great head and expression, well placed ears used to advantage. Excellent front with enough bone, nicely angulated. Good neck and firm topline steady mover out and back. 2/ Axford & Sherwood – Watermyth Jewel of the Nile, A little long in loin that said has good balance overall. Looks good in profile and has excellent quarters which he uses well on the move not quite the front of winner.
Limit Dog (6) Very mixed Class 1/ Rose – Dianakees Inspector Morse at Esorkees, This dog gave his handler a hard time, but when he settled he handled well. Lovely coat and condition. Masculine head dark eyes providing for desired expression, well off for bone and good feet. He is well angulated fore and aft and when settled proved he can move. Has a lot to offer. 2/ Downs – Liefkees Assisi – A little long in loin so not the outline of winner on the stack. Nice head and eye good front though foot could be a little tighter. Ok on the move. 3/ Church – Shelderon Stemmig Sage with Tykess, 7 year old put a good performance here, felt he was up to size but handles well and very sound on the move.
Open Dog (4) 1/ Matthews – CH/ Winkelstar Deneb at Valindale, All male, still a youngster but full of quality, loved his head and expression. Excellent pigment, good for bone and feet. Well laid shoulder strong neck and firm body and top line. Great quarters strong mover with reach and drive. On top form CC / BOS. 2/ Rose – CH/ Rossvale Endeavour Endeavour to Esorkees, Loved the outline of this mature male, masculine head dark eye, strong neck and nicely ribbed body. He to gave his handler a hard time on the move and was a little untidy going away. 3/ Ring – Neradmik Shine on Harvey Moon (imp Can) well made, a little wide in front, that said he moves well out and back. Liked his overall size looks good in profile.
Champion Dog (5) 1/ Harris – CH/ Amikirs Loverboy for Watchkees, Great size and balance, would like a cleaner front, but good bone and feet. Liked his head and eye, good neck and shoulder. Well made right through sound mover. 2/ Brunt – CH/ Divnyi Drug Dar (imp RUS), Lovely overall shape with excellent top line maintained on the move. Moved with reach in front but a little close behind today.
Veteran Dog (2) 1/ Hickson – CH/ Kichigais Only the Lonely, loved this male and he was unlucky to meet the Winner today who I felt was in better coat. He is bang on for size, and balance, nicely angulated front and rear,great bone and feet. Deep well made body with good ribbing and firm top line. Very good on the move particularly in profile. RCC. 2/ Miles / Cullen & Brown – CH/ Rossvales Legacy for Lekkerbek, not the outline of the winner and felt he was a little heavy in bone, stands on good feet. Firm body in good coat and colour, not quite the rear assembly of winner. Sound mover.

Minor Puppy Bitch (1) 1/ Pattinson – Eastkees Amber Moon, raw baby very feminine and has much to offer when she settles to the task in hand. Just needs time a little erratic on the move here but in the finals looked much better so ended up Best Puppy.
Puppy Bitch (3) 1/ Dearman & Henson – Zandvoort Eternal Flame for Pyrekees, best outline and balance here, loved her overall size. Great head and eye, excellent mover out and back. 2/ Brunt – Zandvoort Moonlight , litter sister, felt not quite as firm in front nor the drive going away today. Lots to like just not as forward in development. 3/ Pattinson – Eastkees Lily of the Valley, very naughty here so difficult to assess appears to have all the essentials just needs firmer handling
Junior Bitch (3) 1/Marshall – Devonias Hakuna Matata JW, very promising youngster, loved her overall shape and balance. Scores in head and expression lovely pigment. Enough bone and good feet, clean shoulders with good body properties. Smart mover out and back. 2/ Gregory – Amikirs Pritti, A little finer right through, but again very good balance and has much to like. Not so positive on the move today as the winner.
Yearling (1) 1/ Brunt – Zandvoorts Graces Secret, Good size very nice head and expression, lovely front assembly deep well made body nice ribbing and strong quarters. Put up a good performance on the move.
Limit Bitch (4) 1/ Hopkins – Serenaubach Andromeda, beautiful head and expression dark eyes. Lovely balance to body, clean neck and shoulder with firm top line and strong quarters. She looks great when stacked and doesn’t disappoint on the move which is very true. Being hypercritical I would prefer a tad more length of leg. RCC RBIS 2/ Gate – Winklestar Alsephina via Lacetrom JW , a little more of her than the winner and felt she didn’t quite have the outline particularly on the go round. That said she has a feminine head of good balance, nice angulation in front and very sound. 3/ Brunt – Goldgin Chanel (Imp Rus), longer type in body and not so good in front as winners. Good action going away.
Champion Bitch (2) 1/ Ring – CH/ Neradmik Tantrums N Tiara, beautiful head and eyes providing for desired expression. Balanced front with good bone feet and angulation. Clean neck and shoulder, well made body firm top lien and strong quarters. Great on the move nice reach and drive. CC BIS 2/ Redler – CH/ Keitakees You are My World, not dissimilar to winner though not the expression. Equally good in body and great on the move lovely outline on the move.
Veteran Bitch (5) 1/ Passmore – CH/ Torrikees Victorias Secret, compact with great balance to body and head. Handles well in body which is firm and muscular moved very smartly fore and aft. Best Veteran 2/ Gate – CH/ Lacetrom Shuna, vey nice overall type could have used her ears better which would have given her a better expression. Sound mover. 3/ Gregory – CH/ Amikirs Bubblelicious, another worthy Champion looking great and ejoying herself just a tad long so not quite the balance of those above her today. Excellent mover.
