Southern Counties Canine Association

I would firstly like to thank the Officers and Committee for giving me the opportunity to judge my first set of CC’s in my Breed Great Danes. Special thanks must go to my helpful stewards on the day and of course to the exhibitors for your entries.

I felt the bitches were far superior in quality which was a bit lacking in some of the males but there are some really exciting youngsters coming through in both sexes, which is only a good thing for the betterment of the breed.

MINOR PUPPY DOG (2, 0)

1st Nikami in His Image for Teeseedane (Mrs T M & Mr R Teese) – 8 month old fawn who was really enjoying himself at his 1st champ show. Super happy temperament. Typical head with good drop of lip and strength of jaw. Good ear set. Strong arched neck with well laid back shoulders and good spring of rib. Deep chest and firm level top line. Look forward to see how he matures in the future as he could be one to watch.

2nd Nikami Papa Smurf Atelib (Mrs E P & Mr M V Bartley) – Litter brother to 1st. This brindle boy is also well made with a nice headpiece and dentition. Dark eye with square jaw. Good legs with straight flat bone and tight feet. A bit less substance than 1st but overall a very pleasing outline and should come together nicely when he matures.
