Paignton & District Fanciers' Association

LARGE MUNSTERLANDERS

My sincere thanks go to the Officers and Committee for giving me the opportunity to give my first set of tickets in this lovely breed. My stewards, Hayley and Pete, were extremely efficient and I thank them for keeping things running smoothly.

All of the exhibits were in superb musculature tone.

1st: 379 DAY, Mr & Mrs M Waldo Vom Busshof Mit Alfriston (Imp) Deu

He looks just as he should; alert and energetic. His head is so very handsome and well balanced with its high set ears and dark brown eyes. His well muscled and slightly arched neck fits smoothly into his well laid shoulders. He has width in front, a pronounced prosternum, terrific length of upper arm, depth of brisket, spring of rib , wide, well muscled loin and powerful hindquarters. He moves really well with great forward reach. I was delighted to award him his second CC.

2nd: 383 HUGGINS-DAVIS, Ms A Tralale Chunky Monkey. Although he doesn’t have the spring of rib nor the depth of the winner he is nevertheless a very nice dog. His head is very pleasing being sufficiently broad in skull, with well set ears, a kind eye and a lovely big black nose. He has plenty of sinewy bone and is very well muscled. He has the touch of elegance that I like. RCC.

1st: 378 DAY, Mr & Mrs M Raycris Constantin At Alfriston

He is in such hard condition and presents a typical outline with a firm, strong back and slight slope towards his croup. I preferred the head on 2 but he took the class with his positive and free flowing movement.

2nd: 380 DISNEY, Mr P Sh Ch Wonglepong Will's Faramir

He has a lovely head and expression, strong neck, good depth and wide, powerful quarters. He lacks a touch of elegance for my preference.

1st: 382 GOODLEY, Mrs K Vonstrahlend Kam Das Herz

This was her first show and so she was hard to assess when stacked but on the move I could see that she is true in front, shows a clean pair of heels going away and carries her tail so very well. Her head is very pretty with an intelligent expression and nicely chiselled under her eyes.

Class 148 NB (1 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 384 HUGGINS-DAVIS, Ms A Tralale Cuddle Monkey

Her head is pleasant but I found her a touch narrow in muzzle. She is a fabulous shape when stacked and is a very flashy colour. She has a short, firm back, strong loin and wide and powerful quarters.

1st: 391 WILKINS, Miss V Quilesta Simply Exquisite

Her head is beautiful and so well proportioned. It fits cleanly into her elegant neck which flows into her clean shoulders. He body is so firm and taut and she has a nice big bum. She flowed round the ring to take the class and the RCC.

2nd: 375 BUTLER, Mrs B & BUTLER, Mr. D Toberworry Breaking Dawn At Jendella's. I like her very much and she was unlucky to come up against the winner. Another gorgeous head and well muscled body. On the stack she tends to run up behind but she holds herself better on the move.

1st: 376 CAILE, Mrs K Kamaze Cosmic Diamond

She is very raw and lacks the bone and substance required of this hard working breed. Her head is pretty and she moves OK.

1st: 386 OGLE, Mrs C & SUCHETTT-KAYE, Dr R Raycris The Temptress

Let’s be clear, this is not the smallest of bitches but there is no mistaking that she is a bitch. And my goodness is she well balanced. She is solidly built with plenty of heart and lung room, a firm strong back, slightly sloping topline and terrific tail set. Her whole demeanour is one of vigour and readiness. She is fit for function and ready to go out and do the days work that she is bred for. As I looked at her head it brought a tear to my eye; she so reminds me of Ch. R. Freya who I now see is her great grandmother. It is a head to die for and I could gaze into those eyes all day. Not only is she a picture of strength and elegance stacked, she also has the typical springy gait required of the L.M. Her footfall is precise and the length of her stride is free and easy. I was delighted to award her her 3rd CC and BOB.

2nd: 377 DARBY, Mr G T J & DARBY, Mrs J Sh Ch Brockchime Besta Both To Incadar RL2 VW.

She doesn’t have the head of the winner but she is soundly made with wide quarters and is an efficient mover. BVIB.

3rd: 388 STEVENS, Mrs L & STEVENS, Mr P Ghyllbeck Fringilla
