5TH JUNE 2022

OPEN SHOW

Sincere apologies for the delay in this critique. May I first thank the committee for inviting me to officiate and secondly, the exhibitors for their terrific entry and support. I had a lovely entry both in numbers and quality and really enjoyed the opportunity to judge your beautiful breed. I also promise you will never have to wait as long for a critique.

MPD D/B

1st KALKASI JUST BECAUSE BPD & BPIS

Well proportioned substantial yet elegant puppy. Good head and strong neck. Good topline and croup. Good depth for age, with good textured coat. Easy and powerful on the move and very together for his age using his tail.

2ND PENELLCY TELL IT TO MY HEART

7 month raw puppy. Lovely head and exprerssion but showing a fraction too much stop which could recede with age. Well constructed and balanced with correct amount of bone. Moved well for her age. Feet could be better

2ND SHANLIMORE MARVIN

Tall upstanding dog. Well proportioned body and head but has enough stop. Strong neck, enough depth for age. Good topline but a little steep in croup. Moderate rear angulation. Nice expression. Moved steady but could have more animation though used his tail nicely. I hope his pasterns strengthen with maturity.

YD

1ST CHARIBERE SIMPLY THE SEQUEL AT KAIANNA

Good head shape and proportions. Nice eye shape and placement but it could be a shade darker to complete the picture. Strong neck but would not want it any longer. Nice bone and substance with a powerful rear. Good coat and moves well with power yet an easy lightness.

2ND SKETRICK PIERRE

Nice for type. A little out of coat but has a nice clean outline. Good bone and substance with no coarseness and good feet. Moved well in profile keeping his outline but could be a little tidier in front.

3RD PASHME DE LA VALLEE DU GIROU WITH KRICARNO

LD

1ST CHEZANNA LIVING THE DREAM FOR JOAMJESS

He has good overall proportions and balance but could do with a little more width throughout. Correct neck in strength and length and holds his topline well. Good bone and rear and moves well in profile. Coat is a little open

2ND JUMICAR JUST AN ILLUSION

He has nice substance and holds himself well on the move with good coat texture. Preferred head and exp on 1st. overall nice dog but could have a little more leg length to balance him pout a bit.

3RD VISKALY’S HAZUKI DEL AVANTGARDE

OD

Very difficult class as I really liked the first three dogs for different reason. Right up till the last second I could have placed any of them 1st. I think after two shows and a reasonably hot day the last one standing won the class.

1ST CH LISJOVIA BORIS BEAR AT DARAMAROR RBD

He has good body proportions but his head could be a little cleaner and smoother in parts. His neck length is correct and he has a super strong topline and exc coat. Very good feet, in good body condition and moves very well and light for a powerful dog.

2ND CH RIVERGROVES ALL THE RIGHT MOVES AT BELSHANMISH

Really liked the outline and shape of this dog. He is not a big dog but has ample bone and substance yet elegant. Holds his topline very well. Just not putting in his all on the move but overall has lovely balance. Preferred his head and expression to 1st.

3RD CH GILLANDANT THIEF OF HEARTS AT DEWYCHE

VET D/B

1ST CH BELSHANMISH ORANGE CRUSH BD & BIS

Masculine and powerful with elegance. Very nice clean outline with good proportions, neck length and exc topline. Liked his head shape and expression. What a credit to the breed to have a two veterans looking so good in such good condition and still moving as well if not better than most of the youngsters.

2ND CH BELSHANMISH PRETTY IN PINK AT PYRAJAY RBB

Lovely type and overall beautiful bitch in many areas. Nice dark eye and lovely expression exc coat texture. Just showing a little tiredness after two shows and could have held her topline a little firmer. I believe they are brother and sister. Just preferred leg length on 1st which was my final decision.

PB

1ST JUMICAR MOONSTONE BPB & RBPIS

Lovely head and expression. Still a baby but hope she develops a little more bone. Good topline croup and depth. Moved well in the class

2ND PENELLCY TELL IT TO MY HEART

Already 2nd in MP but did not show as well in this class and was a little too flamboyant with her tail. I hope it settles as she is a nice puppy

3RD SAVANNAH BAY DU PYRDANTI AT KIANNA

JB

1ST LISJOVIA WHITE LADY AVEC MONTMUSIQUE

Nice type but would like a little more leg length. Lovely head and expression with nice eye shape placement and colour. Moved well and has a good coat.

2ND FEBUS GRASMOOR

She has lovely proportions and balance but needs to develop a little in strength with maturity. Lovely eye and expression. Would prefer a little more underjaw.

Front is a little untidy but hopefully with maturity and exercise will come together.

YB

1ST BELSHANMISH TOTAL ECLIPSE

Lovely type and balance. Liked her head shape and proportions but eye could be a little smaller but she has a nice clean outline and good front and exc topline. Moved well using her tail but could have a little more strength in her rear movement.

2ND BELSHANMISH NEW SENSATION AT PYRAJAY

Lovely mover and lots to like about her. A real teenager who just needs time to develop, mature and drop in to herself and has the makings of a beautiful swan.

3RD FEBUS GRASMOOR

2ND FEBUS GRASMOOR

1ST SHANLIMORE BABY LOVE

Would look better if she lost a couple of pounds. Steady mover uses her tail but could have a little more animation. Good coat and bone and lovely eye shape

PGB

1ST JUMICAR SWEET LADY LUCK

Nice head even if eye a little full. Good substanceand bone and overall balance front and rear Moved reasonably well. Carrying a huge coat which made her look a little low to ground.

2ND KALKASI GRACEFUL SHADOW FOR JOAMJESS

Nice head, eye and proportions. She has more than enough neck but holds her topline. Moved ok

3RD KALKASI SHADOW CHASER FOR JOAMJESS

LB

1ST KALKASI THE ETERNAL CHASE

Very nice bitch with lots to like about her. Lovely type proportions and balance. Lovely head and nice eye shape. Holds her topline well and moved well in profile keeping good topline. Nice rear on the move. Feminine, elegant with substance.

2ND KRICARNO KATCHMEIFYOUCAN

Another very nice bitch. Well proportioned and balanced with good topline and head. Preferred eye shape on 1st but I am being picky. A little more strength and substance throughout but still feminine and not coarse. Good coat and again moved well in profile.

3RD LISJOVIA WITCHES PROMISE FOR PYRKEES

OB

1ST PENELLY SHE’S LIKE THE WIND

I loved her clean outline and balanced conformation. Excellent proportions and topline. Would not want any more length to her neck but she was a little out of coat, thought exture is good so made her neck look a little longer that otherwise it would be. Feminine with substance and elegance. Good depth and nice rib cage not too heavy or deep. Lovely free light and easy mover.

2ND GILLANDANT XMAS SPICE

Lovely balance and type with correct neck length and good topline. Moved well but 1st just put in a better performance.
