Dogs. |
Mrs J Grant |
I enjoyed my day judging for the Midland Ch
show. Lots of lovely dogs to go over. I am sure many will change places many
times. Generally speaking movement needs to be addressed both from behind
& in front. Lots were lacking in muscle tone from the hind quarters. Which
left me to wonder if they get any exercise other then attending shows. Where
have all the beautiful large, dark round eyes gone of yesteryears. This does
alter the expression. Presentation was generally good, but some of the B/T’s
would benefit from a bath, just because the coat is black it does not mean
that they don’t need a bath & conditioning. Even though you cannot see
the staining it’s still there. Having said all that i was delighted with my
final line up. |

I
purposely didn’t ask the age of the dogs. I prefer to judge on the merit
of the dog & not on the age. I ignored the touch of grey & the
lack of teeth. Thought all the dogs were a credit to their owners &
to the breed. These are the type we should be striving for. A lovely
class of oldies. |

Lovely body shape. Looked a picture moving round
with his proud head carriage set on correct shoulder placement &
arched neck. Short & cobby leading into good turn of stifle &

I have watched this dog since a puppy &
see he has fulfilled his early promise. A shade taller then my 1st
place. I did prefer the eyes of this one. Would not behave & had
to pay the price. Too happy for his own good. |

Inglis’ |
Craigowl Ryton
Another I have watched since puppy. I loved
his make & shape. A little heavy marked for some perhaps. Was
a joy to watch on the move, with his strong hind action & true
forehand his head is now beginning to develop. Never looses his topline
both on the move & standing. A gay happy little dog. It was his
movement that won him this class & the deciding factor for the
CC & Res BIS |

William’s |
Johnaster Anton Du Beke
Blen in good bloom. With lovely sharp colouring
of good texture. Another good moving dog. Dark sparkling eyes set

Rix

Ellisiana Crusader for Ricksbury
His good movement won him this place in this
class. But didn’t have the head I was looking for. Although broad
I felt he needed more cushioning under the eyes. |

My type of ruby. Rich gleaming ruby coat. The
darkest of pigment in a pretty head with the most appealing expression.
Just needs more coat to complete the picture. |
2 |
Coaker’s |

Much the same remarks apply. Just a little careless
with his tail carriage at times. |

Special Mid Lmit B/T |
(13,

The
dogs heading this class were all beautifully presented. Many B/T owners
need to take note on the presentation. Many coats were rough & coarse
& even not very clean. |
1 |
Rogerson’s |
Rabymar Apollo
Almost to much coat which made him look short
on leg, but it was soft & silky. Moved round the ring with style,
with a proud head carriage. Good tail set. |
2 |
Morgan’s |
Cleocath Carregddu of Schanastar
Shorter in loin but not quite as stylish on
the move. Being a little shorter in neck. |

A
class full of quality dogs. |
1 |
Coaker’s |
Kinevor Curtis of Homerbrent
Again a long & flowing coat made this dog
look short on leg which he is not. Soft & silky texture &
a good rich colour on a pearly white background. Good round bone &
excellent tail set. |
2 |
Steel’s |
Behabre Burberry Touch
A close decision between these 2 dogs. A classic
tri colour in great condition. Shiny black on a pearly white background.
Arched neck coming from well set shoulders. Very attentive to his
owner. A shade bigger then my first. |

of these dogs could have won this class. It was full of quality dogs. |

Baker

Ch. Keyingham Branwell
A well known Ch of quality. A lovely size &
shape. Almost too pretty for a dog. Gleaming full round dark eyes.
Long flowing coat of soft & silky texture. Great drive from behind.
Let himself down by misbehaving. (I do wish owners would leave the
bitches in season at home) |
2 |
Schilizzi’s |
Chacombe Armarni
Very elegant little dog. Got this place on his
true movement. Short & compact body leading into well muscled
stifles & short hocks. Looked short of coat compared with Branwell. |

Mrs

I was pleased to be asked to judge at this show, which is always a very social affair being so close to Christmas and must applaud my two stewards for their efficiency during the day. I was however a little disappointed at the lack of depth in quality in some of the classes one would have wished for and the amount of staining on the coats of quite young exhibits. |
