Sunday 12th January 2020 

Thanks to the committee for inviting me, although still full of cold I thoroughly enjoyed my day and was delighted 

that my Pastoral Group winner the Border Collie and Puppy Group Winner the Bearded Collie, both took top honours 

for BIS and BPIS respectively. 

BMD 

Sadly, only the one entry in the breed which was in Open, but the dog present was worthy of the award given on the 

day, Miles’ Jaybiem Modus Operandi JW a substantial male of 21mth well off for bone carrying correct weight for 

age and size. Strong head with good development of skull, strong muzzle, with defined stop, dark almond eye, dark 

flews, correct coat with clear markings. Standing straight in front onto round compact feet, strong top line, nice 

spring of rib with gentle under carriage, lovely croup and tail set. Good development of first and second thigh onto 

strong hocks, moved with purpose, sound in all directions. BOB and WG3

Thank you for the entry, really enjoyed going over the exhibits present some places were very close. 

Puppy (5) 

A class of quality puppies. 

1st Farrar’s Disoranto Moonlight Shadow At Darkpeak (Imp POL) 10mth Black Bitch, lovely bitch, presented a lovely 

outline deep chest and correct ribcage with nice width of back for age, attractive head strong skull, tight dark eye, 

straight strong muzzle. Strong neck onto a well angled front, tight elbows, standing straight in front onto good feet, 

strong hocks, this enabled her to move so true when coming to with a side gait displaying correct extension for her 

construction. BP RBOB & WPG 1 

2nd Nash’s Mississippi-Missouri Hamer Time (Imp) 8mth Black Male, lovely character which I am sure will turn him 

into a true showman once mature. Took a while to settle but as a judge this does not stop me from awarding an 

animal a worthy place. Head developing well, nice neck onto a good front, not as true in front as first place but this 

will improve with age, broad back with nice ribbing, lovely rear angles gave him good drive on the move. Moved 

sound and free. 

3rd Pallett’s Auldmoor First Edition For Sheenmarie 

Graduate (6,1abs, 1wd) 

1st Farrar’s Disoranto Moonlight Shadow At Darkpeak (Imp POL) 

2nd Springthorpe’s Sandbears First Class At Millthorpe 16mth black male, nicely balanced throughout, good head 

with dark eye, strong muzzle. Strong neck onto good front, tight elbows, strong in back, with nice spring of rib and 

depth of chest, rounded croup onto a balanced rear and strong hocks. Moved well in all directions just not quite the 

extension as 1st 

3rd Chapple’s Femme Fatal Bear Mountain At Peakcharm (Imp CZE) 

Open (3) 

1st Springthorpe’s CH Millthorpe Mr Rochester JW ShCM 2½ yr quality black male. He is so well put together in 

great condition and such a dense coat that on first glance makes him look overweight but he is far from that, Strong 

head, short square muzzle, small dark eye, small well-placed ears. Muscular neck onto a nice lay of shoulder, elbows 

tight and standing straight onto good feet. Well ribbed with strong broad back blending into a lovely croup and well 

angled rear with excellent muscle development. So true in movement with good extension. BOB and WG2 

2nd Farrar’s Disoranto Moonlight Shadow At Darkpeak (Imp POL)

St Bernard 

Puppy (1) 

1st Lyons’ Big Paw Urash At Snowfordhill stood alone in the class and the only one representing the breed on the 

day. 10mth typical young male who is still learning the ropes of showing but doesn’t realise his size, he definitely 

didn’t make it easy for his handler, but did all that was required for me to assess him. Large head that is still 

developing, would like a tighter eye but this will improve as his head develops. Balanced angles fore and aft, with a 

good body developing, strong top line for his age and size, sloping croup with good tail set. Top sized male that uses 

all he has on the move once settled, displaying soundness with just slight puppy looseness. BP & BOB 

Siberian Husky 

A nice entry of 9 on paper split over 2 classes but sadly only one attendee in Open. However, he was a lovely 

example of the breed. Tinker’s Multi CH Zaltana Kiss My Paws At Lolotea JW (Imp POL) 2yr male of good size and 

nice covering. An extremely alert and striking male, with good head, correct ear set and eye, good stop with correct 

length of muzzle showing no signs of being snipy, finished with a dark nose and mouth. Medium length of neck onto 

a well laid shoulder, well placed upper arm standing on compact feet, strong top line with muscled loin, sloping 

croup with good tail set and carriage, powerful thighs showing good muscle development. Moved well in all 

directions, presented in excellent condition. Did not put a foot wrong, a true showman BOB and awarded him WG1 

in a good group.

stunning head piece. Comprising of a broad skull, filled cheeks, pronounced stop, strong short muzzle, strong broad 

jaw, dark nose with lovely nostrils, medium eye, and correct ear set and carriage, head is finished with his dark mask. 

Well arched strong neck, chest wide, deep brisket. Good front, and stands straight, still a little loose in pastern as 

expected with age which is seen on the move, short and compact in body. Strong rear, excellent muscle for age.

1st Griffin & Grierson’s Griffindane Athos Fawn Male Great Dane just under 3 yrs, no getting away from him being a

head covered correctly with profuse hair, nicely proportioned, well defined stop, medium eye, strong muscular neck
