Ladies Kennel Association – Beagles

I’d like to thank the officers and committee for the invitation to judge Beagles at the Championship Show and the exhibitors for their entries and accepting my decisions with good grace. The ring was of a good size which allowed the hounds to move out well. Unfortunately there was a metal drain running the width of the ring under the carpet which clattered when stood on and sadly this put a number of exhibits off their stride. Having said that my main winners weren’t fazed by this and put all in to win in strong competition.

MPD (2,0a)

1st Simkin’s Eardley Will Power at Simeldaka, 8mth tri of a good size and shape, pleasing head with long leathers, lovely round bone and tight feet, short coupled and level topline held on the move.

2nd Fallon’s Newlin Rambler, 7mth tan & white, good head with pleasing expression, good length of neck and straight front, longer cast than 1st, a little difficult to assess on the move but he was clearly enjoying his day out.

PD (5,0a)

1st Woodcock’s Molesend Verdict at Roddwood, 9mth tan & white who look a picture stood, good head and sufficient neck, straight front with elbows tucked in, well ribbed back into sound quarters, excellent topline and tailset which he held on the move, well schooled. BPD in good competition today.

2nd Stewart & Binks Dughallmor I Am Legend, 12mth tri from a different mould to 1st, lovely houndy head with dark eye and pigment, good shoulders and spring of rib, well muscled quarters used to his advantage, unlucky to meet 1st in such good form and one I will watch with interest.

3rd Caple’s Morsefield Mudlark

JD (4,1a)

1st DCC & BOB Craig’s Davricard Jacob, 13mth tan & white who I have admired from the ringside and didn’t disappoint, he oozes quality throughout. Lovely masculine head with dark eye and well set leathers, excellent length of neck and exceptional front assembly, round bone and tight feet, well ribbed back, level topline, strong quarters which he used to his advantage on the move. He is a delight to watch both coming and going and in profile. I was thrilled to hear he was shortlisted in the group and am sure it won’t be long before he wears his crown.

2nd Close’s Sparrowgill Smarty, 15mth tri with an all male head and lovely kind eye, straight front but would prefer a little more forechest, well ribbed back and muscled quarters, moved with drive from behind.

3rd Quinney-Spencer’s Quincerhound Oreo Bark

YD (1,0a)

1st Lewis’ Milroc Polarized Catch in Fallowfield (Imp USA), tri of a nice size and shape, good shoulders and lovely bone and feet, good spring of rib with plenty of heart room, short coupled, excellent quarters which showed in his movement, a little too much head for me and would prefer a darker eye.

GD (6,1a)

1st Woodcock’s Molesend Verdict at Roddwood

2nd Philpott’s Charterwood Storm, tri boy with a lot to like, well shaped head, good length of neck and well placed shoulders, level topline and good bend of stifle, would prefer him to be a bit more animated on the move but sound overall.

PGD (5,1a)

1st Close’s Fallowfield Interesting, lovely head on this tri with dark eye and well set leathers, ample neck and good shoulders, a little long cast but well ribbed back, level topline and good tailset, moved with drive from his strong quarters.

2nd Murphy’s Black Royal at Rhosyndu, tri with a heavier head than 1st, dark eye and good pigment, a little upright in shoulder, good depth of chest, topline and tailset ok, needs to go up a gear on the move.

3rd Martin’s Charterwood Character

LD (10,2a)

I’m sure he’ll be collecting the big green cards soon.
