Judge’s Critique:
Thank you to my steward and all exhibitors, I made the decision to move to a free ring to ensure that the breed judging could proceed timeously. While the replacement ring was smaller than the scheduled ring I felt it still offered sufficient size for the dogs to move. Pleased to see the bitches are looking more feminine with softer expressions and more feminine heads than we perhaps had in the past.
PD (4,3)
1 Arnold & Dobson, Roughyeds Regal George 7 months, black. Young male who needs to develop in chest and spring of ribs, but this will come with maturity, at the leggy stage at the moment. Pleasing wedge shaped head. Balanced in profile with good shoulder and rear angulation and level topline. Moved well when settled.
JD (6,2)
1 Finch, Molokain Doing The Do At Cetgueli JW 18 month male in excellent tightly curled coat. Well muscled and strong throughout with good bone. Good head, small neat ears well set. Correct scissor bite. Strong neck, well laid shoulders. Well sprung ribs and good depth of chest. Level topline. Sufficient rear angulation, but a little more bend of stifle would help to balance the profile picture. Moved with drive, free flowing and well handled.
2 Barber, Tonispada Vuori Vincent By Blanshard 14 month male, well bodied for age. Good lay of shoulder, forechest and spring of ribs developing. Level topline which he held on the move. Better rear angulation than 1. Good tight feet. Pleasing head but would prefer a little less length of muzzle. Moved well but not quite the drive of 1, well handled.
PGD (3,2)
1 Emery, Foxriever Midsummer Magic. I have watched this handler and dog previously, the dog can give him a hard time but he is persevering and improving. Dog was more settled in this class than first class and although he stood alone he deserved his 1st Upstanding, well boned dog in good coat, pleasing head and expression with dark eyes. Good lay of shoulder and well angulated rear. Has a level topline, but handler tends to overstretch when stacked causing topline to drop off towards croup. Movement a little erratic, but everything is there when he gets it together.
LD (7,1)
1 Clack, Bazzy Inti Anka At Molokain. Liver in good coat. Smaller build. Good head with correct scissor bite and neat ears. Good length of neck, well laid shoulders, good spring of ribs and well angulated rear. Tight feet. Moved with drive.
2 Mercer, Thomas & Whitehead, Slodki Jak Drops Z Basisfory, yearling dog, pleasing head and expression. Balanced in profile with well angulated shoulders and hindquarters and level topline. Prominent sternum but would like a little more width to forechest, which may come with age and maturity. Tight feet. Moved well with drive.
OD (6)
This class was quality from 1 to 6, probably the strongest class I have had the pleasure to judge. All could swap places on a different day, and would have been happy to award the CC/RCC to any of them.
1 Brookes, Infallibles Black Crusader At Kelsmere, 4 year male, impressive, imposing dog. Pleasing, masculine head with dark eyes. Well off for bone and well muscled. Good spring of ribs and depth of chest. Strong neck and well laid shoulders. Level topline. Good strong croup and loin and well angulated rear. Tight feet. Moved with drive and purpose. CC.
2 Parker-Miles, Tengore Mr Moonlight 3 year male. Another strong masculine dog. Very pleasing head, good eye colour, correct bite, well set ears. Good length of neck, well laid shoulders. Well sprung ribs, strong body, level topline. Well angulated rear, balancing with front assembly. Moved with drive. RCC.
VD/B (3,2)
1 Mistlin, Maycourt Starman By Crookwood ShCM. Liver male, almost 10 years old. Good head, bite showing signs of his age. Still well muscled and moves with drive. Balanced with good angulation fore and aft. Feet and nails excellent for age. Stood alone but worthy of BV.
PB (6) Six very promising puppies, I look forward to following their progress
1 Courtier, Maycourt Take Me To The Top, and I am sure she will. RCC & BP.
2 Courtier, Maycourt Cover Shot. 10 month old litter sisters. Very feminine heads and expressions. Good eye colour for coat, well set ears. Both in good coat (1 Black 2 Liver). Both well muscled with ample bone, well laid shoulders and good rear angulation. Balanced in profile. Tight feet with short nails. Forechest, depth of chest and spring of ribs well developed for age. Both moved with drive and freedom of movement. Preferred the expression of 1, but splitting hairs. In the challenge a change of handler for 1 saw her sparkle.
JB (6)
1 Findlow, Roughyeds Gold Stick Cellar. 7 months, reserve in previous class against strong competition, she was giving a lot in age in this class. Pleasing head and expression. In good coat of tight curls. Well made throughout, balanced in profile with level topline which she kept on the move. Tight feet. Moved with drive.
2 Carrick, Tessmene Tickety Boo. 15 months, dark eyes, harsher expression than 1 losing a bit of femininity. Good depth of body with ribs well let down to elbows, well angulated, would prefer more moderate rear angulation. Good coat. Movement a little loose. Would prefer tighter rear feet.
PGB (6,4)
1 Moskowitz, Ravenho Mochara Cadeaux. 18 month in excellent coat. Feminine throughout. One of the best heads of the day. Good reach to neck, good shoulder placement, good forechest and spring of rib, level topline and well angulated rear. Didn’t drive on move.
2 Clinch, Roughyeds Hilda Ogden. 4 year liver bitch, in hard well muscled condition, well angulated with good spring of ribs. Needs to be moved a little quicker to get her into her stride, and was a little close behind. Feminine head and expression. Good coat of tight curls.
LB (8,2) Another strong class, quality bitches from 1 to 6.
1 Stephens, Ravenho Up Town Girl For Brightmeadow JW. 18 month old, feminine bitch. Took the eye when stacked in the initial line-up, a delight to go over and flowed around the ring with an effortless gait. Pretty, wedge shaped head with correct eye colour. Strong neck of correct length, leading into well placed shoulders. Good bone. Tight feet with good short nails. Good width and depth of chest and spring of ribs. Level topline which she holds on the move. Strong, well muscled hindquarters which produce her driving movement. In good coat of tight curls. Pleased to award her crowning CC & BOB, wonderful to see her shortlisted in a strong group.
2 Parker-Miles, Overbore’s Ace Of Hearts. Balanced, elegant bitch. Lovely head with feminine expression. Dark eyes. Well angulated, with good shoulder placement. Good spring of ribs and depth of chest. Strong, well muscled rear. In good coat. Moved well with plenty of drive.
OB (5,1)
1 Carrick, Tessmene The Cats Whiskers. Good in profile, good depth and width to chest with visible forechest, good spring to ribs. Shoulders well laid back, balanced by well angulated rear. Strong level topline, with muscular loin and croup. Moved well.
2 Cummings, Molokain Enchanted One. Bitch of a larger type, but still feminine. Pleasing head and expression. Good length of neck and well placed shoulder. Good forechest and ribs. Level topline and good rear angulation. Coat of good curls. Moved with drive, but a little loose in rear movement.
GCB (1)
1 McKenzie, Ravenho Toulouse Latresco At Beddgelert. Reserve in strong Limit class, litter sister to Best of Breed and has many of her attributes. Pretty feminine head. Well angulated, with strong level topline. Well muscled. Moved with drive in both classes.
