East Of England Agricultural Society

A quality entry awaited me at East of England and very grateful to the exhibitors for their entries, a lovely atmosphere ringside and not many absentees. Just a reminder to the exhibitors in our breed that whilst judges may forgive lack of coat, which is perfectly natural and normal at this time of year, when a dog loses coat they also lose condition. There were some borderline exhibits in terms of weight and we must endeavour to be mindful. As always a lot of dogs with some maturing to do and given this is a slow maturing breed they just need time to finish the overall picture. Whilst blessed with the weather, it was very warm for some exhibits who didn't perform as well as their construction would suggest.

MPD 1(0)

1. Simms’ Over The Rainbow Des Sarmentins (imp FRA). 7 months and medium

plus bone, good croup and well presented, moved well in profile and parallel away

although ‘crabbing’ slightly, very well muscled.

PD 2(0)

1. Sargent’s Keriquel Orinoco. Pleasing head, good croup and shoulder. Medium

bone and good reach on the move. Nicely conditioned although out of coat.

Preferred overall balance to 2 nd .

2. Seaman’s Trailhunters Toruk. Up on legs at the minute and going through

‘rangy teenager’ stage already. Pleasing head, still some growing to do in this

slow maturing breed.

JD 2(0)

1. Seaman’s Oerik Ragnar of Voykan Wakanda Kennel. Better balance at the

moment than 2 nd but currently still a ‘rangy teenager’, out of coat but moved

better in profile than 2.

2. Smith’s Snoqualmie Captain Morgan at Arcticswirl. Pleasing head and

expression, still has the ungainly movement of a youngster and slightly squarer

in proportions than 1.

YD 3(0)

1. Webb’s Rock Me Amadeus. Well muscled and slightly longer in back than I

would prefer, in coat and well presented and handled. Moved nicely in profile.

2. Williams’ Salazka’s Newt Scamander. Still a ‘yearling’, acted up but nice foxy

head, good feet and muscle, just not as ‘together’ as 1 st which can be expected at this age.

3. Wright’s Snowrun Echo.

ND 2(0)

1. Robertson’s Chatanika’s Dragonkin. Out of coat but construction is there,

well balanced and good proportions, slightly feminine head at this stage, would

come together but good reach on the move.
