DARLINGTON CHAMP SHOW 18th SEPTEMBER 2021

HUNGARIAN WIREHAIRED VIZSLA

I would like to thank Darlington Championship show for inviting me to judge my own breed at their very well organised show where I thoroughly enjoyed my day. Although I found the exhibits very mixed in both coat and size, all were shown in very good condition. I was very pleased with the quality of my final line ups and principal winners.

Veteran Dog (3)

A very pleasing trio of veterans, their condition all a credit to their owners.

1st: SPILLANE Sh Ch Belatarr Hercules

Very masculine in head with kind expression. He has good body proportions although well up for size. Good straight front and deep in chest. Moves so soundly and with precision, shown in excellent coat and condition.

2nd: WHITING Ir Ch Hejocsabai Turul at Cragvallie

Very attractive in head with kind eye. Strong muscular neck and has a good shoulder lay and straight front assembly. Body of good depth and moderate rear angulation. Showing his age now, but moved steadily enjoying his day

Junior Dog (2)

1st: SUMMERFIELD Miadsc Cast a Spell.

Pleasing youngster but still very raw. Correct head proportions with kind eye. Would prefer more neck length, has good straight front and adequate depth of chest with good spring of rib. Adequate rear angulation and moves so soundly holding his topline well in profile. Coat developing well and of good rich colour.

2nd: ASHTON Kutyahaus Fred Finbar

A rather boisterous youngster who wouldn’t settle in the ring. Pleasing in head with kind eye. I found him very erratic on the move with a high tail carriage.

1st: THOMAS, Hosokter Tompa at Odinsmoke

One I have placed highly before. This dog excels in outline, he is so balanced throughout. Well off for bone, firm body with deep chest and correct angles both fore and aft. Very workmanlike in appearance and he is a strong and positive mover, just missing a good jacket and furnishings.

Good coat with lovely furnishings to complete the picture. Pleased to award him the CC.
