Tibetan Spaniel:

It was lovely to have the chance to judge the Tibetan Spaniels – a task I always enjoy.

Puppy (0)

1. Bevis’ Skyvana Free Spirit of Starlance. Sable with dark overlay. Very nice head with good ear set and sufficient underjaw. Nice overall balance, good bone and the most lovely feet! The better mover in this class.

2. Rice’ Parloueve Back To Black of Ricox JW. Very nice B/T with good outline. Good in head with lovely expression. Sound on the move, but just going a little close behind today.

Post Graduate (2)

1. Penny’s Chenrezi Ti Amo. 3yo cream with the prettiest of heads and good chin. Very typy with good bone and lovely feet. Moved out well.

2. Wayman’s Mynapaw Perfect Melody. Attractive head but not the chin of 1. Lovely bone and good feet and moved soundly.

Limit (3)

1. Clover’s Chenrezi No Ordinary Love. Glamorous but not overdone, pale gold coat with black mask. Lovely head, good chin. Overall outline very pleasing with good bone and feet. Very sound on the move.

2. Wayman’s Mynapaw Perfect Symphony. Neat and unfussy, well put together exhibit. When animated she looked the part – but her mind was elsewhere I think. Very sound and good to watch on the move.

3. Osborn’s Quailmoor Guinevere JW

2. Mills’ Samhaven Super Natural at Willowcombe. Very pretty merle bitch who presented lovely picture standing; neat bone and good muscle. Unfortunately was lazy on the move and this told against her.

Open (4,3)

1. Scamp’s Stregato The Maleficent at at Marketdene. In my opinion the best of heads – pretty and feminine with good planes. Super dark sable coat which was well presented. Good body and muscle tone. On the move she was sound but lacked drive.
