THE NEWFOUNDLAND CLUB

SAT 03 NOV 18

Many thanks to the committee for this lovely invitation to officiate at The Newfoundland Club Open Show, I had been really looking forward to this day. I found all temperaments to be sound and webbing in feet as it should be, just encountering a few short tails and some that were overweight. All exhibitors accepted every decision with good grace and it was clear to me you’re a friendly breed to be amongst! Thank you for a lovely day which I thoroughly enjoyed.

PD

1. Leech’s Mileoak Samwell Tarley. Promising male puppy of 10 months with balanced skull, dark eye and kind expression. Lovely angulation all through, sound top-line which he held well both standing and moving, good depth of chest and correct rib, strong bone and substance. Presented in quality coat, he moved effortlessly in all directions and was handled well to bring out his best, BPD.

2. Moir’s Newgraden On Top of the World. Another lovely male of 10 months, a little shorter on the leg than 1, where I also preferred the head shape. Nicely angulated in front and rear with strong bone, good depth of chest and correct shape and length of rib. Moved well with good reach and drive and was presented in immaculate condition.

3. Leitch’s Bluebears Spirit of Dakota (AI). 9 months and not quite ‘together’ on the move as my previous class winners. Masculine, strong head with kind expression but would like less ‘flew’. Strong bone and nicely angulated with good proportions, would just like a little more animation on the move. Presented in good coat and well handled.

JD

1. Hudson/Bone’s Newfangled Bone Idle. 15 month male who presented a pleasing picture both moving and standing. Well angulated throughout with good body proportions. Lovely mascu-line head with strong muzzle, dark eye and pigment. Very steady on the move, he showed good extension and drive.

2. Springthorpe’s Millthorpe Mr Rochester JW. Beautifully presented male of 15 months who I have admired over the last year. Masculine, strong head with the most gorgeous expression. Lovely angulation in front and rear with correct body proportions. Good depth and spring of rib and in immaculate coat. Today, he was just totally uncooperative with his handler which showed in his movement. Otherwise, a lovely example of his breed.

1. Leech’s Mileoak Samwell Tarley.

2. Moir’s Newgradens Will I Am. Male of 18 months shown in excellent coat. Kind head with lovely expression but just slightly overdone for me. Nicely angulated throughout with good top-line, pleasing depth of chest with correct shape and length of rib. When settled he showed some steady movement. Presented in good coat.

PGD

1. Moir/Main’s Newgradens Chariboo JW ShCM. Masculine dog, just shy of 2 years. Balanced skull with lovely expression, dark eye and good pigment. Full of substance with good bone, he painted a pleasing picture standing, sound well-muscled top-line. Would like to see a little more extension and drive on the move, his good angulation and proportions suggested he could move better. Well presented in excellent coat.

2. Hilton’s Spirebear Duke of Destiny. 3 year old male with lovely temperament. Kind head and expression with dark eye, just slightly overdone for me. Not as well angulated as 1 but he showed some steady, positive movement when settled. Presented in good coat and handled well.

LD

1. Dickson’s Zentaur Der Kapitän Wisperedomen JW ShCM. This 2 year old male paints a lovely picture both standing and moving. Lovely, masculine head with kind expression and dark eye. Good depth and shape of rib and well angulated throughout, excellent top-line standing and moving. If I was splitting hairs I would like this dog a shade shorter but this doesn’t detract from his effortless movement. Presented and handled to perfection, RBD.

OD

1. Wagner’s Vivaldibears Diplomat. Lovely 3 year old male of good type. Excellent angulation to front and rear with strong bone and good depth of chest. Masculine, kind head with dark eye, strong muzzle and dark pigment. Strong, muscular top-line which he held well moving and standing, correct proportions and excellent muscle tone. Moved well in all directions and pre-sented in excellent coat, BD, RBIS, BOS.

2. Leitch’s Seafar Last Tango in Paris JW ShCM. 5 year old dog who I felt was a little out of con-dition. Strong, masculine head but a little too much wrinkle over the muzzle. Angulation was good and he held a strong top-line moving and standing. Strong bone with deep chest, good depth and shape to rib. Showed some steady movement when settled into his stride.

3. Geddes’ Tartanbug Nae Bother from Vivaldibears. 6 year old dog with pleasing temperament and kind head. Would have liked better angulation front and rear to give a better outline both standing and moving. Good depth of chest with strong bone. Presented in good coat but too much white on his tail and toes.
