Bournemouth Canine Association

Breed: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

My first CC appointment so would like to thank the committee for my invitation but must thank the stewards, Andy and Jen, and the Exhibitors for their help and understanding when the heat got to me, and I almost passed out. I am happy to say I saw no dogs in distress, luckily it was not as hot as the previous 2 days.

Not a huge entry but I was spoilt for choice with some quality dogs and several that could have taken the top honours. I found no incorrect bites; hind movement was a little erratic on some.

MPD (3,2) 1. Fox-Shone’s PAMEDNA JACQUES. Very appealing Ruby of 8 months with a pleasing head and high set ears. Kind dark eyes and good length of muzzle. Moved round the ring showing a balanced little dog with good tail carriage and holding a level top-line. A happy showman at one with his handler. His coat is still at the fluffy stage but am sure it will soon settle down; this did not distract from his overall appeal. Pleased to award him BPD & later BPIB.

PD (1) 1. Rhodes’ CALONLAN ROYALE BLUE. Blenheim just short of 12 months with dark eyes giving a soft expression. Good reach of neck leading to a level top-line. Stood four-square.

JD (1) 1. Jackson’s AMANTRA JAMIE FOXX. Well balanced quality Blenheim of 15 months with beautiful large dark eyes giving a soft expression. Moved round the ring with drive carrying a level top-line and correct tail carriage, well-turned stifles. Maturing nicely.

YD (1) 1. Arrowsmith Vorderstrasse’s ARROWBIEN NEW WAYS TO DREAM. Another quality Blenheim of 22 months, good dark pigment, lovely head and expression, moved freely with good turn of stifle, keeping a level top-line.

GD (0)

PGD (4,1) 1. Lee’s KELRICK FLASHBACK. Blenheim with a true masculine head but still with soft expression. Large dark eyes, well feathered ear leathers. Moved with drive and confidence. To be picky would prefer a little more animation.

3. Rhodes’ CALONLAN GRAND ROYALE

OD (7,1) 1. Kilcoyne’s CH GRANASIL BOURBON. A super class headed by this richly coloured Ruby in full coat who took my eye as he entered the ring. Such a well- balanced dog with good reach of neck and depth of chest, level top-line and tail carriage and well-turned stifles. Extremely pleasing head with big dark eyes, well tapered muzzle and good black pigment. Delighted to award him the CC and later Best of Breed.
