VD/B: 2,1 Bradshaw’s Ch / NL Ch Khanate A Star is Born at Kaiteriteri, 9½ years old bitch, lovely for overall type, compact & substantial with good ribbing & depth, short strong loin. Very pleasing head of good length with strong muzzle & parallel planes, good dark eye coupled with neat well-set ears giving a keen down the nose expression. Good lay of shoulder & return of upper arm, good front & fill-in, topline held firm standing & on the move. Well presented in excellent harsh p/s coat & furnishings. Moved out with purpose & drive, in excellent condition for her age, a real credit to her owner & breeding. BB, BOB & BV  2 Pratt’s Schabaal Vashti, 10-year-old black bitch, compact & typical in outline, well sprung ribs & good depth of brisket. Keen dark eye & expression. Strong neck & pleasing layback of shoulder into short firm topline. Rather too much of a handful for her handler making movement difficult to assess.

PD: 1, 1 Railton & Eales’ Lefenix Future Avenger, 9 months, happy disposition, pleasing head ears & expression, lovely dark mask, strong muzzle. Good reach of neck, fair shoulders, needs to develop in forechest & fill-in. Good ribbing for age, rather at a leggy stage, presented in excellent harsh banded jacket. Well angulated quarters, needs to strengthen in hocks. Keen & alert, however his over exuberance made movement difficult to assess. BPD & RBD.

JD: 1, (1 Abs).

PGD: 1, 1 Bucklow’s Lefenix Dark Avenger, rising 3 years, substantially built, all male & pleasing for overall type. Strong masculine head of length and strength, lovely keen down the nose expression from dark well-shaped eyes. Strong neck with good reach set cleanly into well laid shoulders, would prefer a touch more return of upper arm & forechest, well bodied with good depth and super spring of rib. Well presented in harsh wiry p/s jacket. Drove off from strong well-muscled quarters, showing keenly & really covering the ground. BD.

OD: 0.

PB: 3, 1 Watson’s Commondale Carefree at Jalero, delightful 9 months baby, has immediate appeal for her lovely short backed & compact outline. Feminine head, developing well, dark expressive eyes & mask, very neat in ear. Pleasing reach of neck, set on well-laid shoulders, can still develop in forechest. Well-ribbed & cobby, with very short strong loin. Smartly presented in dark p/s jacket. Moved out well remaining keen & alert at all times. BPB & BP. 2 Railton’s Lefenix Future Majik, 9 months, very good length of head, parallel planes & dark eye, could be smaller in ear. Good length of neck, fair shoulder, well ribbed with pleasing depth of brisket, not quite as compact as 1. Well presented in excellent coat for colour and texture, rather unsettled on the move; 3 Allen’s Amigris Ms Dynamite.

JB: 0.      

PGB: 3, (1 Abs) 1 Bradshaw’s Kaiteriteri Izbrannitza, substantially built with compact nearly square outline, strong but feminine head with correct stop, dark eye & good expression. Very well laid shoulder, particularly firm topline held well at all times, ideal tailset. Pleasing forechest & upper arm, well boned but a touch slack in pasterns. Well ribbed up & deep in body. Would prefer a touch more rear angulation for ideal balance. Smartly presented with harsh wiry jacket. Moved out well keeping her outline & with correct tail carriage;    2 Railton’s Lefenix Exhibit Perfectly, strongly built & shapely, lovely deep body with good spring to ribs & strong loin. Pleasing head of good length with strength to muzzle could be a touch smaller in ear. Pleasing upper arm but not quite the layback of shoulder of 1 but preferred her rear angulation & pasterns. Rather unsettled on the move but showed sufficient reach & drive.

LB: 2, (1 Abs) 1 Maiden’s Dane becks Ice Maiden for Maidluns, presents a fully mature compact picture, robust in build with good ribbing & depth. Very pleasing feminine head of good length, dark oval eye & keen expression. Strong neck with good reach flowing smoothly into well laid shoulders & firm topline. Well-muscled & angulated quarters. Demonstrated balanced reach & drive on the move, but carrying a touch too much weight here spoiling the overall picture. Beautifully presented with a dense pin wire p/s jacket & just the right amount of harsh furnishings. RBB & RBOB.

OB: 0.

Judge: G Masterton

AV Special Beginners D/B: 2 (1Abs). 1 Oates’ Barnsdale Masterpiece, keen & alert 7 months Miniature bitch, pleasing head with correct stop, neat in ear, dark eyes & keen expression. Good reach of neck into well laid shoulders, nicely bodied with well sprung ribs, can still firm in topline, excellent rear angulation. Smartly presented, just the right amount of furnishings, new p/s jacket just coming through, moved out well & up on her toes.

Smartly & sensibly presented, an alert & happy showman, moved out with vigorous reach & drive. 2 Shaw’s Siracem Bucks Fizz, very smart & stylish 7 months p/s Miniature dog, compact with lovely flow from good reach of neck into firm correctly sloping topline. Masculine head developing well, a touch large in ear at the moment though. Well bodied with good spring of rib, just needs to drop into himself now. Particularly pleasing strong well-angulated quarters. Immaculately presented in pin wire jacket. So in tune with his excellent handler, used himself well on the move with a free & balanced action. Should finish well. 3 Allen’s Amigris Ms Dynamite.

My thanks to the club for inviting me to judge at this show.

Junior Handling

6-11 years: 1(1Abs)

12-16 years: 2,1 Rebecca E. Dobson. A confident handler who stayed calm when her dog was less than co-operative when showing the teeth and she got the job done. Moved her dog well, always keeping an eye on where I was standing and never getting in the way.

2 Robyn Marsh. I liked this handler’s gentle manner with her puppy. Showed the teeth well. Her only mistake was to take her eye off where I was standing and she got between her dog and me on the final return.

Judge: Lynn Shearman
