Richmond Dog Show Society

RICHMOND CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 10TH SEPTEMBER 2022 / SALUKIS

In my many years of exhibiting Salukis, Richmond was one of my favourite shows, so many thanks to the Society for inviting me to judge, to my Stewards and also to the exhibitors for a lovely entry. We had a bright, dry, day and a large ring. I was very pleased with the overall quality and with both my line-ups.

Veteran Dog (3)

1. Haddon’s Amal Hayati Ohdedar El Azizi Fuadi of Ilsham JW Taf Golden fawn I have always liked. Very much the type and quality of some of the older, classical, lines. Especially lovely head and expression, nice length of neck into a very good front, deep brisket, good spring of rib, good topline and low set long tail, very well balanced quarters with low hocks, which many do not have. He moved very well and I was pleased to award him his third CC.

2. Andersson’s Alsahra Dakota. Ten year old parti, has an attractive head and long neck, nice body but not the angulation of first, he looked very youthful and moved well.

3. Havercroft’s Bermuda Ch Barbey Hector at Dragonsmoon (Imp)

Minor Puppy Dog (4)1

1. Campling’s Classicus Faizan Quality red puppy, with a nice head and expression and overall outline, he has a deep brisket and long tail. His movement was very light and sound.

2. Chippendale’s Flytesfield Hyddwn. Very attractive and promising black fringed fawn, he has a lovely head and expression, a nice outline and balanced angulation. He moved very well. Unfortunately, he was rather reluctant today, so I didn’t see him at his best.

3. Humphrey’s Kenzduo Sweet Nothings.
