Ladies Kennel Association

Thank you to the society for the invitation and to the exhibitors for entering your dogs. I found the quality of dogs high and temperaments on the whole were excellent. I gave allowances to a couple of the young dogs for being sensitive due to the difficulties of getting them socialised during these difficult times, the indoor venue and the mask wearing.

PD (1)

1st Hector’s Magnatum Wild Curls Henri of Talsett NAF TAF – Stood alone in the class but deserved his win. In excellent coat and condition. Correct head proportions and presented a square outline when stood. He moved with drive covering the ground well when viewed from the side.

JD (1abs)

PGD (2)

1st Whittick’s Articbreeze Turbulance at Allsong Compact body with correct proportions. Head has good proportions and eyes were a good colour, giving a lovely expression. Short correct neck, chest deep and short in loin. Close fitting elbows and good oval bone. Active movement with good ground coverage.

2nd Westmoreland-Caunter’s Eastlessea Aria Aeneas, One of the less confident dogs, due to his age and the situation. Longer cast than first but with excellent head proportions and expressive eyes. In excellent coat and moved with drive.

LD (2)

1st Benelli’s Il Granaio Del Malatesta Flocky - Dog in superb coat and condition. Head has excellent properties with a strong wedge shaped muzzle, good eye colour and shape, slightly arched short neck and correct body proportions. When stood presents a lovely outline and on the move, he covers the ground well with a smooth driving action. Delighted to award him BD & BOB.

2nd Fergusons Dario Della Caveja Another balanced dog with excellent head. In excellent coat and condition, moved well with drive, just preferred the overall balance of 1st.

OD (2,1abs)

1st Nelson’s Mizani Dioro Over Savio Balanced dog with excellent coat and in hard muscular condition. Excellent head and eye, good neck and front, strong muscular rear with driving movement. RBD

VD (2)

1st Lightfoot’s Gaesten Just Jago at Joydon 11 year old dog who could still move like the youngsters. Little to chose between the two as they both had super heads with excellent expression, well muscled and had good body proportions. Preferred the overall balance of 1st and his better bend of stifle and broad hocks.

2nd Nelsons Gaeston Zippy Zingo at Nelbekio ShCM RL4 Similar remarks apply but I felt today not quite so positive on the move as 1st.

PB (5, 2a)

1st Bond and Rawlinson’s Vodka King of the Truffles 7 month old puppy who has a super head with good proportions and expressive eyes. Short strong neck and good front assembly. Well sprung ribcage and strong hindquarters which she used to advantage on the move. BP

2nd Slater’s Regun Nara (Imp) Another super puppy with similar attributes, Super correct coat, good bone and well shaped feet. Moved well coming and going.

3rd Tindall’s Kara Mia NAF

JB (3, 2abs)

1st Williams and Carless’ Rumolboys Chandra Rising Lovely bitch of 13 months a bit overawed in the class but performed with more confidence in the challenge. Moved well, covering the ground with long smooth stride from well muscled rear. Balanced all through with good front assembly and good bone.

PGB (3, 2abs)

1st Lightfoot’s Gaesten Danny’s Delight at Joydon Very balanced bitch with good head proportions, strong short neck and well assembled front. Compact strong body and well developed rear. In good coat and moved with drive.
