RETFORD CANINE SOCIETY-Premier Open Show, 20th March 2022.

Thank you to Jacquie Tune and her hard-working committee for an enjoyable day at Retford Canine Society. This was a well- attended Premier Open show buzzing with atmosphere.

BIS was Willy’s Akita Jeamaras Special Delivery for Sensha (Imp Nor)-this was one of the first dogs that I judged on the day as I judged the breed. When I awarded him BOB I thought that he was a good one and I was pleased that the group judge felt so too. Still young and developing well. Masculine but not course, good proportions, looked good in profile and moved soundly up and back. Had a certain style and continued to take my eye in the BIS competition to take a well-deserved BIS.

Res BIS was Allen, Bruggenberg-Rothschild and Denman’s Australian Shepherd Allmark Fancy Some Fendi-ultrafeminine, ultra showy and very sound. Another youngster that took my eye throughout the BIS competition. Had some star quality and was beautifully presented and handled to get the best out of her. Pressed hard for BIS.

BIS 3-Robinson’s Dobermann Korifey Ivan- this very stylish Doberman thoroughly deserved his place here. Very masculine, beautiful body weight and correct bone. He powered up and back.

BIS 4- Kimber’s SBT Kimstaff’s Harry Potter-difficult to believe the age of this Staffordshire. In hard condition, looked at me right and was sound up and back. Good proportions. Went onto better things as he won a thoroughly deserved best veteran in show.

BPIS-Craven and Rowbottom’s Rhodesian Ridgeback Hespa Ornellaia- I thought this Ridgeback was very promising. Showed really well at 11 months of age. Plenty of bone and substance and yet still retained her femininity. Sound moving and a quality girl.

Res BPIS-Irvings Pembroke Welsh Corgi- Twinan Hand In The Cookie Jar-what a promising Pembroke. At 10 months is developing very well. Very feminine, good mover, super proportions and handled and presented to a very high standard.

BPIS 3-Page and Concannon’s Great Dane Novavida Purple Calla Lilly-an eyecatching Dane with a good outline.

BPIS 4-Hodgkinson and Fredrikson-Sinkovic’s Spanish Water Dog Zorrazo Quest for Success-this one pushed hard all the way. Another good mover and well constructed.

BVIS-SBT Kimstaff’s Harry Potter- was BIS 4 and reported on him above.

Res BVIS-Hughes’s Siberian Husky Ch Jacalous Keepsake for Siberiadrift—this one put in an excellent performance at the end of a long day. Decent outline and sound up and back.

BVIS 3-Paskin’s Long Haired Dachshund Ch Abydachs Summer Dream at Kindeace-I was not surprised to see that this one carries her title. Super outline, in fabulous condition for her age and still driving from the rear. Very nice

BVIS 4-Fenton’s Tibetan Terrier Int/Lux/Bel Ch Layoli Hot N’Smokin-completed a good line-up. Nice size and good coat.
