It is some three years since I last judged Cesky terriers at this level. I was pleased to see that there were some general improvements since I last judged particularly temperaments, toplines, and tail carriage. All credit to the breeders for continuing to improve their stock. I was more than pleased with my principal winners. I was particularly pleased to see the young puppy take group 2 under Lee Cox later in the day. This is a good placement for a Cesky at this level. Well done to the veteran for VG 3.
JD 1. TOBIJANSKI, Mrs W Ch JANSKI O'ROLOX JW. This young dog was a nice start to the judging. This is a really lovely young male dog who is excellent for type. He has a very correct head which is of good length and of the correct proportions. Good dark and correctly set ears. His outline is correct with the correct top line for the Cesky with well developed loin. Well sprung ribs. He has a typical front. He is put down in first class order and is in excellent hard condition and well-muscled throughout. Movement was correct and he carried his tail correctly on the move. Despite his age I was more than happy to award him the CC which he annexed with some ease. I later discovered that this was not his first CC from junior but rather his fifth, congratulations and well deserved. and he made a good account for himself in the group. CC and best of breed.

1. HARRIS, Kessima One And Only. Platinum dog. Scored well in this class for his overall type. He is a nice size. His headpiece is of the correct proportions. He has a nice dark eye and correctly set ears which he carries well. Good strong muscular hind quarters which are well angulated. Nice top line and correct tail set. Out moved the others in the class to annex the top award. 2. PEARSON, Placido Musical Mission At Winoski. Pleasing dog of quality. Pleasing head which is of good proportion. Good dark eye. Good length of neck and correct shoulder. Well sprung rib and good short muscular loin. Well muscled hindquarters. I would like him for my preference a fraction larger and would like him a little more positive behind on the move. Needs more furnishings to complete the picture. 3. GOUNDRY, Mrs Sarah Jane KOMIDION RIMSKY KORSAKOV AT SARMINIJA. A nice type and would have been placed higher if he had been a little more confident on the day.

1.TOBIJANSKI, Mrs W Ch Janski Bugurovski. Very pleasing dog of good quality and excellent breed type. Has an excellent head which is long and has strength throughout. Good dark eye. His ears are well placed although for my preference I would like them just a fraction smaller. This dog has an excellent length of neck into well laid shoulders. His front is correct, and he has good bone throughout. Good top line which is correct for the breed. Well-muscled and well angulated hind quarters. Put down in excellent condition. Pushed his kennel mate hard but today had to be happy with the RCC. Worthy of his title 2.BURRAGE, Sametova Bacary. Another nice dog. Not overdone in anyway. Quality headpiece. Good length of neck into well-placed shoulders. Pleasing front assembly. Well off for bone and nice well-padded foot. bone. Another put down in excellent condition and who is very confident in the ring. Moved well. To be slightly critical I would like him a little less straight in stifle. 3.TAYLOR, Mrs P Oural Du Champ D'eole Imp Fra

1. ENGLAND & BURRAGE, Ch Ashleyheath's Black Thunder Sh.CM ShCEx VW. Well-known dark male who has done well under me before, winning one of his many CCs from me in his younger days. Despite his age he is in excellent hard condition and his movement is a pleasure to watch. He used to carry his tail a little too high for me but today carried it as an older male should. I have extolled his virtues before and was pleased to see him today. I would just like a fraction more length of his head to complete the picture and thus had to give way to the younger dog. I watched him put on an excellent performance in the veteran group.
Class 1641 SBD/B
1.GOUNDRY. KOMIDION SYMPHONIQUES AT SARMINIJA. Alone in this class however this is a very nice 20 month old bitch. Very nice for overall type. Good head and expression. Nicely placed ears of good size. Good length of neck into excellent shoulder placement. Nice overall shape. Moved well although was a little bit more interested in the ground rather than doing her job today. A nice bitch although I wouldn’t want her any bigger. Put down in good hard condition.

1.TOBIJANSKI. JANSKI YAMIZZABL WITCH. Nine month old exciting puppy of excellent breed type. She has a beautiful head of correct length, breath, and strength. Excellent dark eye, nicely placed ears which are of correct size. Lovely neck into excellent well laid shoulders, correct free elbow although not wide. Pleasing top line. Correctly sprung rib. Nice topline and pleasing tuck up. Moved well with her tail carried correctly for the breed. Considered strongly for the RCC and I am sure she will go on and do well. It was a pleasure to see her do so well in the puppy group under such a well-respected judge achieving group 2 behind a puppy dog to which I have awarded a CC and think him outstanding. I shall watch this young bitch with interest. With fair play she should easily reach the top drawer.

1. GOUNDRY. KOMIDION SYMPHONIQUES AT SARMINIJA:
LB
This was a very good class. 1. PRATT, Mrs Wendy Proxima Centauri. I thought this bitch excellent for her overall type. She has quality throughout. She has a very pleasing head and expression. Good length of neck into well-placed shoulders. Correct front assembly. Well off for bone and with correct feet. She is well ribbed up and has a well developed loin. Correct slight tuck up. Well muscled hindquarters and correct tail set. She is in a very good hard condition and muscled throughout which together with a correct coat of correct texture completed the picture. She could be a fraction more feminine throughout however I otherwise thought her very nice. Moved exceptionally well with good drive behind. I was pleased to award her a first CC. 2. BURRAGE, Komidion Sonata for Sametova JW. Another nice bitch who was not belittled by coming second. Many of the attributes of the first placed bitch apply to this young bitch. She was just not as positive and confident as the first placed bitch in the class and therefore this cost her a placing. However, when she returned to challenge for the RCC she upped her game and I was pleased to award her RCC. She is a very typical bitch although to be critical I would like some more head furnishings to complete the picture. 3.HARRIS, Mrs G Kessima Once In A Life Time
OB
1.TOBIJANSKI, JANSKI LITTLE WITCH. This is a very pleasing cesky bitch of super type and in the same mould as her kennel mates who did well today. Super head of good length with excellent expression. Well made throughout. In super A1 condition. I thought on initial inspection that she would attain top honours but she really didn’t put it all in at the crucial moments. On another day could annexe higher accolades. Foot fall is spot on. 2.BURRAGE, Ch Komidion Prima Donna of Sametova. Nice quality bitch. Head is of good strength but not quite the length of Little Witch. Correctly constructed and moved well. Would prefer her tail to be carried lower on the move to complete the picture.
VB 1. HARRIS, Lastarean Knezna Lenka At Kessima. Nice bitch of quality with little to dislike. Good for overall type. Nice head. Good neck and shouler. Excellent hindquarters which are well muscled. Moved very well.
