It was a pleasure to judge dogs at The Scottish Cavalier Club and my thanks go to the committee for the invitation and also their wonderful hospitality. Thanks also to the exhibitors for their entries.
From my line up, I shortlisted 4 for further consideration, Kilcoyne’s Ch Granasil Bourbon, Ryan’ Harana Pinball Wizard, Spall & Clark’s Llapsttam’s Heavenly Scent & Lewis’ Carleeto Cutie Pie JW — surprisingly, all wholecolours and all worthy of winning the CC. I awarded the CC to Ch Granasil Bourbon, the RCC to Harana Pinball Wizard & Best Puppy Dog to Rathbridge Rewrite The Stars.
The Referee was called to decided on BOB, who awarded it to the bitch, Arrowbien Funny Girl. |

Upstanding young dog of 14 mths. Attractive boy who was good for size & neatness of shape. Skull almost flat between the ears, large, round eyes and a soft expression. Very Good in rib and forechest, short coupled in loin
and with a glamorous, straight coat coming. He had a well carried tail and his rear movement was a joy to watch. Still needs to tighten a bit in front. Nice boy. |

obvious quality. A happy, showy, outgoing baby who moved round the ring like he’d done it for years. Very promising. |

Ruby boy that I’ve judged as a youngster, now at his very best. Lovely headpiece, with dark, round, expressive eyes and dark pigment. Muzzle well filled under the eyes and a correct scissor bite. Well angulated in shoulder and upper arm. In body he was in perfect condition, with just the right amount of richly coloured, straight, silky coat covering his well sprung ribs. Short in coupling and balanced in profile. Today, he went round the ring on a mission, with stylish head carriage, firm, level topline and well carried tail. On form today, couldn’t deny him the CC. Lovely boy from the top drawer. Later awarded BOS & RBIS on the referee’s decision. |

Miss A Walker (Kayceekay) |
I would like to thank Mrs Smith, the Officers and Committee for inviting me to judge at this show. It was an honour to be invited to judge a Cavalier Club show. Thank you to the exhibitors who brought the cavaliers for me to judge. I had two excellent stewards in Pamela Martin and Linda Bibby. It takes a lot of work to hold a show and having such wonderful comments on how everyone enjoyed such a friendly show it is a credit to the SCKCSC committee.
My Co-judge on the day was ** and although we didn’t agree on every placing and needed Mr Smith, the Referee, to decide on some awards, we were in complete agreement on two of the places for Best Puppy in Show and Best Veteran in Show. From the line up of class winners, I short listed for further consideration Open Bitch, Limit Bitch, Special Post Graduate (Whole Colour) and Junior Bitch. My BCC winner was Arrowsmith-Vorderstrasse’s Arrowbien Funny Girl and on the Referees decision she was awarded Best in Show. Reserve Best in Show on the Referee’s decision was Kilcoyne’s Ch Granasil Bourbon, a dog to whom I have awarded a DCC in the past, so obviously I liked him. Ireland’s Charnell Here Comes Summer was RBCC. Best Puppy Bitch was Conlon & Kotani Rathbrist A Million Dreams, her litter brother Rathbrist Rewrite The Stars with full agreement was Best Puppy In Show. Best Veteran Bitch and Best Veteran In Show with full agreement was Lewis’ Carleeto Satine. Scott’s Toscam McKayla was Special Vintage Bitch.

This class is an innovation by the Kennel Club and I found it a difficult class to judge as both of the puppies were lacking in confidence and carriage. This was not how I had imagined the day to start. Neither of these litter sisters were able to walk round the ring or stand on the table so assessment was neigh impossible. Two tricolour litter sisters 5 months old. I hope they will learn to enjoy their careers in the ring. I placed them based on my hands on examination. |

Arrowbien Funny Girl
Blenheim 2 years old. I was very surprised by this bitch. She was my BCC winner from a strong line up. She was presented in fabulous condition, pearl white coat with rich chestnut, well broken and full furnishings. She had too much coat for my personal preference but once I got my hands on her, I was blown away by her construction. She had a beautiful face with large dark eyes, full dentition and plenty of cushioning under the eyes to give the soft expression. Lovely neck and shoulders into straight front, level topline and her tail set is correct. She has good parallel movement with drive from behind. I enjoyed watching her move in the challenges, and there were a few! I understand that she gained her title, I was unaware, but can understand how other judges felt the same as me. |
