Humberside Hound Association

BASSET HOUNDS:

I would like to thank the officers and committee of Humberside Hound Association for their invitation to judge at this very enjoyable show. I also thank the exhibitors for their entry and, of course, the Bassets themselves, who presented themselves well, in spite of the hot conditions on the day.  

Puppy (1 Entries, 0 Abs)

1st & BP Pearson’s Armardio Im on Fire. Very pleasing nine months old red and white bitch. Feminine and sound throughout. Typical head with soft expression, correct ear set, scissor bite and clean eyes. Strong in neck and forequarters. Well balanced, with good length of body, well angulated rear, completed by correct tail set. Moved well.

1st Pearson’s Armdio Im on Fire.

Post Graduate (2 Entries, 0 Abs)

1st Robinson’s Bushoby A New Daybreak. Red and white bitch. Femine head and appealing expression, scissor bite. Good ear set and length, with arched neck, shoulder placement makes for a strong front. Plenty of bone, and length of body. Rear angulation is good, with correct tail set. Moved well, with good topline and tail set. 2nd Ellrich’s Malrich Paris Carver. Tri-colour bitch, with pleasing head and expression and scissor bite. Strong, arched neck leading into good shoulders. Good body length and moved well.

Open (3 Entries, 0 Abs)

Three super ambassadors for the breed. 1st & BoB Robinson’s Bushoby The Architect. Red and white dog, with appealing head and expression, scissor bite, clean eyes, good ear set and length. He has a strong, arched neck, leading into sound shoulders. Forequarters are good, with length of back and good rear angulation. Presented in lovely condition, he held his topline on the move with a good tail set. Just a little more length of leg would complete the picture... 2nd, RBoB & BV Ellrich’s Ch Malrich Sir Ruff Diamond. Certainly belies his name, as there is nothing rough about this 9 year old red and white dog. He has a masculine head, without being overdone, scissor bite, good ear set and length. Strong neck, good forequarters and length of body. Rear angulation is good. Very close decision. 3rd Pearson’s Armardio Almost an Angel JW
