CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW

Wednesday 16 October 2019

My thanks to all exhibitors for such a fabulous and quality entry which made interpreting the standard and class decision making exciting and challenging. I can also acknowledge from personal experience the disappointment that sometimes comes from decisions made. However, the final cards in all classes for both sexes were, in my opinion, good or better examples of the breed, with some worthy of different placings at other opportunities and indeed the potential for higher honours. Principal winners were,however,outstanding and I was thrilled to bits to have had the privilege of judging such quality and awarding them the highest honours.

Minor Puppy Dog 4.2

1.Bailiss; Tissalian High Chaperal

Such a promising youngster has a lovely head and expression, good pigmentation and correct bite. Pleasing, balanced body, good bone with lovely angulation fore and aft. Clean cut, developing muscular without being overdone. Moved with energy and drive – everything I would expect in a 6-month puppy.

2.Shirton; Woolman Cromwell

A shade taller than 1 and a finer outline overall. Good head and expression – correct eye and ear set. Much still developing as you would expect. So attentive to his handler with a great temperament for showing. Good angulation and moved well.

Puppy Dog

1.Young; Potterspinney Silas

A real showman and worthy winner of this class, outgoing. Lean neck, good head with level planes. Well angled and strong shoulders, level topline, held on the move and good tailset. In super coat and moved purposefully covering the ground well. BPD
