GOOD CITIZEN DOG SCHEME BITCH – NO ENTRIES

VD (3, 1a) 1. Hickson’s Ch Kichigai’s Only The Lonley 8 years old and in fabulous condition. Dark almond shaped eyes, ears set at 5 to 1. Correct scissor bite with strong large teeth. Straight forelegs. Holds a level topline. Ex texture topcoat & undercoat with harness markings. Stands on strong cat feet. Tail is high set with paler coloured plume held correctly. Moderate angulation producing the correct energy efficient brisk stride. BVD. 2. S Miles, Cullen, Cullen, Brown & Brown’s Ch Rossvale’s Legacy for Lekkerbe. 11 year old boy who is living life to the full. Well off for bone & strong feet, moving in a calm and collected manner. Just preferred the eye shape & ear set of 1st today. Slightly longer coat. Ex pigment & wide open nostrils. A worthy champion & still on top form.
JD (3) All three here were exhuberant in character. 1. Comperat & Truelove’s Bargeway Boomerang. 14 months of age, squarely built with good balance and composure. Ears set & held correctly. Had really good strong upright hocks, parallel from the rear view and tight feet. Lighter boned than some but adequate. Well laid shoulders and adequate bend to stifles to produce smooth action. Correct bite, spectacles and head proportions. Harsh coat texture. 2. Miles & Dean & Cullen & Cullen’s Skyline’s Outlander at Lekkerbek (Imp Usa). Just 12 months. Good overall shape & balance. Well off for bone fore & aft . Feet were larger. Well sloped shoulders with good forechest & ribs were nicely sprung. 3. Johnston & Atkinson’s Winklestar Namid
PGD (1) Winklestar Namid. Placed 3rd in JD. Liked his square build & outline, ex scissor bite, well held ears, eyes of correct shape with desired spectacles. Coat coming along well. Unfortunately he was not settled about his rear end being assessed today & did not give of his best on the move where he was crabbing. I am sure he will have much better days ahead.
LD (2) 1. Downs’ Liefkees Assisi JW. Most attractive 2 year old in correct coat & of correct proportions. Ex head features with obliquely set eyes & ex pigment with large nostrils. Well off for bone, firm feet. Tail held centrally & pale plume with dark tip. All the desired coat furnishings but nothing overdone. An alert watchdog, missing nothing. Moved steadily maintaining composure. 2. Lindsay’s Mezanda Mystic Starman. Slightly longer cast in balance. He has a kind expression & is alert. Dark velvety ears with almost pointed tips. Didn’t quite match the movement of 1st today.
OD (5, 1a) a close call. 1. Harris’ Ch Amikirs Lover Boy for Watchkee. Handsome male of square body proportions & perfect size for a barge dog with moderation being the key to everything. His expression comes from placement & shape of eyes, ears, skull & muzzle. Moving straight & soundly in all directions & could turn on a sixpence with his sure footedness. DCC & pleased to award him BOB. 2. Marshall’s Arabesque at Devonia (Imp Rus). Almost square, with ex bone. Clean wedge shaped head with well placed & shaped ears. Dark nails. Level topline & tail held correctly at all times. Sound mover displaying a brisk workmanlike manner & well handled. RDCC. 3. Rose’s Dianakees Inspector Morse at Esorkees. I must just mention that this is the second time this dog has been shown under me and disappointingly completely thrown away his chances through being unco-operative with his handler. Maybe as a veteran he will settle down!
VB (3, 1a) 1. Marshall’s Torrikees Made in Heaven at Devonia VW. 8.5 year old lady, in her prime. Square & compact outline. Pretty wedge shaped head with expressive eyes with good depth of muzzle and a definite chin. Bone commensurate with her feminine size, she is in ex coat, markings & furnishings. Moving steadily & purposefully in all directions BVB . I loved both the winning veterans but ultimately she pipped the dog to take BVIB. 2. Hill’s Ch Whizzkees Ebony Silver for Plymkees JW ShCM VW. Just slightly longer cast than 1st, but still in good proportions. Strong neck, ex topline & well bodied with well rounded ribs of good depth. Stands on neat & compact feet with well arched toes. Full of her own importance, you cannot miss her vocals!
PGB (1) 1. Marshall’s Devonia’s Hakuna Matata JW. 18 months of age & she was very distracted today which made it challenging to assess her movement as she insisted on having her nose on the ground. A real extrovert personality, it will be interesting to see her when she is more settled. Pretty head features & well set and held tail.
LB (2) 1. Lindsay’s Watermyth Cassiopeia by Mezanda. A beautiful bitch with all lines flowing into one another. Well constructed all through from her nose to her tail & her dark nails. She is so pretty but workmanlike. She really comes into her own on the move with her straight forelegs, tight elbows & parallel hocks, where she faultlessly moves straight & true when viewed from the front, rear and in profile . Easy BCC. Handler told me after judging that I gave her BPIB in 2021. 2. Johnston’s Tykees Full of Chaos. Really liked this girl overall too. Liked her body balance, substance, size, well placed ears used well & furnishings. Her forefeet turn out just slightly which shows in her movement but apart from that she has so much to offer.
OB (5, 2a) 1. Hopkins’ Serenaubach Andromeda. Ultra feminine girl, she could easily do the job of a barge dog. So well balanced she has a lovely outline and shape. Quietly handled to best advantage. Good layback of shoulder and corresponding turn of stifle to give balance all round. Standing on compact cat feet with dark nails – short fro gripping on a slippery deck. RBCC. 2. Hill’s Whizzkees Silver Spirit. 5 years old & in tip top condition. Well boned & compact & sturdy. Love her strong underjaw & spectacles. She is so sure footed in movement. Although she performed well there was an undertone of lacking in confidence & I feel that she just needs to regain this now. 3. Lindsay’s Ch Cosmic Dream’s Damn You Look Good for Mezanda (Imp Nor) JW
