Annandale Canine Society

Annandale Limit Show

26th January 2019

Judge – Karen Powney

My thanks to the committee for inviting me and the exhibitors for entering under me with their wonderful dogs, especially when there was an Open show less than 40 miles up the road. Thank you all, for your grace in accepting my placings and the atmosphere in general which was friendly and welcoming  - There were some lovely dogs although some back end movements were not as good as I would have liked and some upright shoulders and short upper arms on otherwise nice examples of their breeds. The classification was a little odd due to the new KC regs about AV and AVNSC but it worked well and the Stewards/Committee kept it flowing throughout the day. Please excuse any spelling mistakes that either me or the auto correct have managed to put in.

Class 1 – AVNSC Import Register Puppy – No Entries

Class 2 – AVNSC Import Register Open – No Entries

Class 3 – AVNSC Hound Puppy – (5,2a)

1st Miss G Langcake & Mr M Shorts DANLUKE LOVE AFFAIR AT LANGSHOR (Whippet) (B)  - 6m – This beautiful whippet pup took my eye as soon as she walked in the ring, graceful and balanced with everything already there just needing to mature but she has plenty of time on her side. Her head was long and lean her eyes bright and her ears like little rose buds as long as there was nothing too exciting going on but I can forgive a pup a little excitement. Her angulation both front and rear correct and she stood well over the ground without looking long and move so well for a young one. Was pleased to give her RBPIS for which she so deserved and it was very tight between her and the BPIS.

2nd Miss A Murrays KENAITEEN SEATONS ANGEL (Deerhound) (B) – 11m – This lovely girl is still very much a baby and as with many large breeds she will take a while to mature but everything is there and will come her head is flat and the planes slightly tapering. Lovely dark eye and despite the small ring moved with graceful ease.

3rd Mr & Mrs PM Fergusons BOURNEHOUSE PIED PIPER (Beagle) (D) – 9m

Class 4 – AVNSC Hound Post Graduate  - (9,3a)

1st Mr J Services CROSSCOP I LOVE MY LIFE (Whippet) (B) – 2yo – This sweet young girl is correctly angulated fore and aft, good pasterns. Her head, eyes and ears give that typical whippety look, she covers the ground well with ease and her balance is perfect. Her muscles flat but solid and her knuckles well arched, feet oval pads thick. Was pleased to award her best hound.

2nd Mrs P Hyslops ZILVERAAT GOUDFINK (Dachshund min S/H) (D) – 16m  - nicely put together lad not too long - held his topline on the move, good driving action. Eyes of medium size, almond and dark.

3rd Mr J & Mrs S Allen Afterglow Cinnamon Buns (PBGV) (B) – 2yo

Class 5 – AVNSC Hound Open – (7,5a)

1st  Mrs P Hyslops ZILVERAAT GOUDFINK (Dachshund min S/H) (D) – 16m (2nd in Hound Post Grad)

2nd Miss D Jan Jardines WOODELLA HOT ROD (Basenji) (D) – 4yo – Flat head, good ears, level back held on the move. Correct amount of white on chest, feet and tail tip.

Class 6 – AVNSC Hound Veteran – (1,0)

1st Mr J Services WINDWALKERWILD FLOWER (Whippet) (B) – 10yo – this lovely girl is showing her age a little and her nails could do with a trim, but her shape and overall appearance is all Whippet. Her muscles are still good and her movement true, her angulation is correct all round and she stands over the ground well. Chest Deep, eye dark and planes of head good. Pleased to award her RBVIS where she was beaten by a dog 3 years her junior, I am sure had they been the same age she may have pushed a little harder for top spot.

Slightly domed skull, but not excessive. Double coat just starting to come into its own and chest just starting to spring with good depth. Time is on her side and there is a lot to come but the foundations is there.

2nd Louise Colliers STONEYBURN BANNA (Schipperke) (D) – 3yo – This boy and 2 of his litter sisters were all in this class, all very similar in head with good muzzles and shape, eyes dark, oval and alert. Good front assembly on all of them, all held their topline on the move, where he excelled over his sisters was his well rounded rump, angulation and his movement.

Lowest part of ear in line with centre of eye and ears set at 45 degrees. Good angulation all round and such a brisk forceful action on her she was so happy and lively. Correct sickle tail carried over her back at all times (I did not see her drop it all day) – she took the eye and kept it. Stood alone in her class but so pleased to award her BPIS and I am sure it will not be the last of these.

Handling  - Overall not a bad standard of handling with some challenging dogs – Maybe borrowing a different breed would benefit some of the handlers and watching the youngsters would probably help most of the 17+ class. Good sportsmanship all round and great fun to judge.

Junior Handling 6-11 (2,0)

1st Danielle Wilson – handling a Tibetan Terrier – The young bitch just out of puppy was giving Danielle a bit of a hard time all day but Danielle was kind, considerate, and gentle but firm with her. She was not allowing her teeth to be shown. A little more attention to where the judge is would help but a good handler in the making.

2nd Dylan Evans – handling a Staffordshire Bull Terrier – This is a big heavy dog for his handler and he was having to fight to stand him and keep him stood at times. Dylan was coping well with his charge and only his concentration on the dog (in the breed ring this is fine) and not where I had moved to on the last move round lost him this class. A very good young handler who needs to borrow an easier dog for the time being.

Junior Handling 12-16 (5,4a)

1st Navaeh Parker – handling a Shetland Sheepdog -  A good young handler who was kind and gentle with her charge, teeth shown perfectly, lines strait  and dog presented well. A shame so many were missing from this class.

Adult Handling 17+ (5,1a)

1st Marilene Evans – handling a Skye Terrier – very attentive handler with a very well behaved dog lines strait and presented correctly for breed, watched the dog and me and knew where I was at all times, pleased to give her Best Handler as well.

2nd Sally Wilson – handling a Tibetan Terrier – This is the same young bitch handled by Danielle in the 6-11, slightly better behaved for Sally, a few lines not totally straight, but presentation good and has a good handle on the ring and surroundings.

Class 15 – AVNSC Gundog Puppy (4,3a)

1st Mr & Mrs R&J Murrays MADSPRINGDROGON FROM PRIESTBECK (SPANIEL(welsh Springer)) (D) – 9m – This lovely boy has everything in the right place. A well balanced short coupled lad with a lot of bone. Appealing head, good lay of shoulder and fabulous feet. I liked him a lot, good dark eye and low set ears. A little more muscle and togetherness to come but I am sure it will. Unfortunately lost out to 2 very mature pups of smaller faster maturing breeds today.

Class 16 – AVNSC Gundog Post Graduate (3,1a)

1st Mrs R Thomsons COLENDA CRACKIN IDEA (Spaniel (Cocker)) (B) – 2yo – Nice young girl who is square in outline and has a good dark eye and correct ear set. Moved well with a typical happy cocker disposition keeping her top line on the move. Good lay of shoulder with good cat like feet.

2nd Mrs R Thomsons COLENDA CHASING SHADOWS (Spaniel (Cocker)) (B) – 4yo – This girl is the full older sister of the 1st . She is slightly longer cast, but head, eyes and ears are good. Not as settled on the move though still wagging her tail and happy. Again another with good feet.

Class 17 – AVNSC Gundog Open (2,0)

1st J Radcliffes SNIPERAY JHAMBIRI (Pointer) (D) – 3yo – nice balanced boy with some lovely curves, good arched toes and well padded feet. Good head, eyes and ear set. Moved OK but would be better in a larger ring I am sure.

2nd Mrs R Thomsons COLENDA CHOOSEDAY (Spaniel (Cocker)) (B) – 4 yo – Litter Sister to 2nd in PG. Good eye and ear set, lovely coat. Keeps her topline on the move, merry wagging tail.

Class 18 – AVNSC Gundog Veteran (2,1a)

1st  J Radcliffes SNIPERAY STAR TURN (Pointer) (B) – 8yo – Beautiful bitch with so much to like, not liking the small space but moved well when settled. Melting expression with correct dark eye and good ear set. Good reach of neck into well laid shoulders. Still holding her top line. A series of graceful curves right down to her tight arched toes and well padded feet. Her colouring on her back legs can give an optical illusion to her movement which you have to watch is not distracting. She barely shows her age and I was very pleased to Award her BVIS.

2nd Mr & Mrs M&M Evans KOMETA ROSSI BOZENA AT MARODYME (Imp DEU) (Skye Terrier) (B) – 2yo – good head and eyes good pricked ears, possibly a little too much hair on head though I do not think her vision was totally obscured, good coat and good feet fronts larger than rear moved well though not always keeping her top line on the move.

2nd Mrs S Parkers SHEENPARK CRACKLIN ROSE (GSD) (B) – 3YO – Good head in proportion to the rest of her, good almond shaped eye and good wide based ears back strong.

Not too big and proportions good although I would have liked a little more muscle on her all round.

3rd J Richardsons STORINBLU RHYTHEMOF MY HEART (OES) (D) – 17m – Worth a mention this super dog was shown with a jacket on (I could get mostly under it)  - his head is correct, shoulder well laid and his rear angulation very good, he was moving well when not messing about  - his owner is persevering with him as he is just super hyped and barking and playing. Hopefully he will settle and if he does I am sure he will do well.
