Pyrenean Mountain Dog

PD (1) 1st Kalkasi Just Because. Well grown 9 month old showing lots of potential. Shapely, masculine head developing, sight stop and typical outlook. Moderate reach of neck. Good angles front and back. Well bodied for his age. Moved freely, covering the ground with a medium stride. Uses his tail well, showing desired ‘wheel’. Pleased to award him BP.

JD (2) 1st Shanlimore Marvin. Liked the size an overall outline of this young dog. Pleasing enough in head for this stage but needs to broaden both in skull and generally all through . Strong neck. Chest ok for age. Good angles and bone. Free mover and well presented.

2nd Lisjovia Flaming Drambuie. Close decision here and moved very well from profile. Pleasing enough in head overall, but maybe a touch strong in muzzle and deep in stop. Excellent neck, deep chest and balanced angles. Needs to firm up in topline. Good, double coat. Shows promise.

PGD (5) 1st Charibere Simply The Sequel At Kaianna. Excellent headed young dog. Well balanced all through with a good eye shape and pigment. Strong, medium length of neck. Good depth of chest. Shapely topline. Short, muscular loins. Good angles. Tail of good set and length. Moved out well.

2nd Pashme De La ValeeDu Girou With Kricarno. Smaller built dog than 1st but still masculine and no mistaking his gender. Strong head and muzzle . Excellent pigment with almond eye. A shade shorter in neck than 1st. Mature body. Pleasing angulation front and back with strong bone for his size. Thick, double coat. Moved steadily and soundly.

3rd Sketrick Pierre.

LD (9) Interesting class to judge, with plenty of quality to choose from. 1st Jumicar Just An Illusion. Big, imposing dog that still has a degree of refinement. Pleasing enough in head but wouldn’t want him any deeper in stop. Dark, almond shaped eye. Strong, reachy neck. Good length and lay of shoulder with return of upperarm. Strong bone. Good quarters. Really comes together on the move showing reach and drive. Excellent coat with attractive markings and beautifully put down.

2nd Lisjovia A Sky Full Of Stars. Another eye-catching dog of pleasing size and masculinity. A strong, masculine head but a bit too much stop. Moderate neck, super angulation front and back and good bone. Deep, functional chest. Excellent body and coat. Moved with reach and drive. Overall, a very good male that deserves his title.

OD (6) Great class, quality right down the line. 1st Gillandant Thief Of Hearts At Dewyche. A really excellent representative of the breed. Great presence that immediately takes the eye. Strong head, moderate strop. Strong but not heavy muzzle. Tight lip. Excellent eye shape and pigment. Good neck. Deep, roomy chest. Good bone. Well angled front and back. Holds a firm topline at all times. Short, muscular loins. Excellent croup, tail set and length. Moved with reach, drive and a moderate stride. Super coat for texture, density and presentation. Made a worthy CC and BOB.

2nd Ch. Rivergroves All The Right Moves 11 At Belshanmish. Another super Ch male of great quality and style. Slightly smaller overall than 1st, but still masculine and of excellent breed type.

Correct head shape, medium stop. Small ears. Moderate neck leading to a good length and lay of shoulder and return of upper arm. Well ribbed. Strong, short muscular loins. Well angled rear.
