​DOBERMANNS

Judge-Lita Lainchbury (Ashlain)

Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge Dobermanns at this year’s show. I would like to thank the exhibitors for the entry and whilst it wasn’t the largest numerically it certainly wasn’t lacking in quality. Having not judged the breed for 6 years my main concerns are that we are losing bone and substance, and there are too many lacking rear angulation and losing that all important balance.

Minor Puppy Dog 2/0

1 Massey & MCGeochs’ Manzart Zebedee.

Super quality br/r puppy of just 7 months, he has a very clean long wedge shaped head, excellent neck and forequarters, strong round bone and tight feet. He has a slightly sloping firm topline and well angulated rear. On the move he is sound from all angles, I am sure he has a very bright future, BPD well done.

2 Walls’ Jarjarjinx It’s In His Kiss

Another smart puppy of 7 months, bl/r appealing head with dark almond eye, decent neck, firm topline and balanced angulation. Not as assured on the move today as 1.

Puppy Dog 1/0

1 Tylers’ Jojavik Bombs Away at Asteri.

Tall bl/r puppy of 10 months. Appealing head with dark expressive eye. Good neck and topline. Would prefer more bone and substance all through and he just needs time to fill his frame.

Junior Dog 3/0

1 Hutchison & Mycrofts’s Supeta’s Big Hunk O’love for Debison

I have admired this young bl/r male since I first saw him as a very young baby. I was delighted to be given the opportunity to judge him today. What a powerhouse he is ! I love his head and expression, strong muzzle with good length and depth, he has dark expressive eyes that have that look of arrogance. Muscular neck into correct front assembly, well filled forechest and gun barrel straight front legs, well boned with strong pasterns and well knuckled feet. Firm topline and moves with good reach and drive. I had no hesitation in awarding him the CC, his 3rd congratulations to owners and breeder, one I would be very proud to own.

2 Youngs’ Krieger Hunky Dory At Malibray

Br/r and although only just over 12 months he is another masculine powerhouse. He also has a very good head with good length and depth. Arched neck leading to balanced front angulation and well filled out forechest. Parallel legs with round bone and tightest of feet, firm slightly sloping topline, C shaped tail and correctly angled rear. He moved straight with drive and purpose, very well handled. It was very close between these 2 super males he just demanded the RCC. I will watch his career with interest, good luck.

3 Wrights’ Kitado Ever So Funky

Post Graduate Dog 2/2

1 Walls’ Amazon Leonardo Da Vinci With Jarjarjinx

Square and masculine standard size br/r male with blunt wedged shaped head although a little broad. Strong neck in to well filled out forechest, strong bone and tight feet. Firm topline held on the move. Muscular rear quarters with correct turn of stifle, was a little unsettled on the move today.

2 Evydeanes’ Jojavik Snowpiercer At Kateamead

Puppy Bitch 3/0

1 Jones & Ingrams’ Jojavik Unforgettable

Very aptly named bl/r baby of 6 months at her first show. I love her head and expression, super head proportions with dark eye and a look that shouts mischief. Excellent angulation all through, good round bone and the tightest of feet. She moved with good reach and drive I had no hesitation to award her BPB and BPIB, later she put on a fabulous performance and was shortlisted in the quality Working Puppy Group. I could have easily stolen her and will watch her future with interest.
