JUDGE CRITIQUE

 

I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge this show, also to say a big thank you for looking after me like royalty. I would also like to thank my very cheery stewards Mr Griffiths and Mr Cherry for a job well done.
V. 1. Arlils Magic Moments at Bobsacre. This was a truly typical bobtail I could not believe she was an 11 and a half years old bitch. She was beautiful and moved with drive. Good head properties. Nice shoulders. Coat of excellent texture. Excellent bone. A credit to her owner.
BV. 2. Starjanda No Greater Love. Again a lovely 8 years old bitch who moved well. Good bone. Nice shoulders, good coat of nice colour. It was a hard choice, I’m sure they could change places any day.
MP. 1. Molyneux Band of Gold at Millwinkie. 8 months old bitch. What a sweetie. Good bone, nice shoulders. Coat clearing nicely. Moved well. Deserved her win on the day. 2. Starjanda Feel the Love with Bracalgem. 8 months old bitch. Moved well. Good head properties. Nice shoulders. Good bone. Coat coming along nicely.

STAKES CLASSES
Having persuaded you to move your dogs at walking pace once, it was very disappointing that most of you found it necessary to hold your dog so tightly. Result? Well, imagine how you would move whilst being throttled! Please train your dogs to move at any pace on a loose lead, more enjoyable for everyone.
J (3) 1 Matthew’s Gouolega Showtime. Good head and bone, shortish back. Excellent texture of coat for age. Moved well. 2 Castle’s Molyneaux My Girl Bill. Close up, not quite as good in head as the winner. Slightly shorter back, good bone and moved ok. 3 Birdsall’s Beauvallon Vanity Fair.
PG (4) 1 Hartley’s Arlils Pandora at Allhart. Lovely typical OES. Square outline, short back and a nice rise to loin. Strong bone. To be critical head could be a little larger. Moved well. 2 Webster’s Meisan Moondance. Now maturing well. Nice head, still needs a little more finish. Good bone, coat of good texture and colour. Moving well. 3 Georgion’s Howander Precious Model for Jeddop.
O (7,2) 1 Rowsell and Tobias’ Ch & Aust Ch Henley Dancing Belle. Very nice bitch with a good head, bone and coat. Nice shoulders, moving well if very slightly close behind. 2 Winson’s Meisan Roly Poly Angelica. Very cobby little bitch. Very compact and everything in proportion. Good head and bone, very good texture to coat. Best of movers. 3 Morris’ Ch Dalewood Hocus Pocus.
