Driffield Championship Dog Show

Driffield 

26th August 2023 

Judge: Miss L Tarabad (Khatibi) 

L/C Chihuahua 

I really enjoyed judging this entry, my first time awarding CC’s in the breed. I found the temperaments exceptional, mouths were very good and generally quality was good throughout the classes with plenty of choice for the green cards. The exhibitors and atmosphere around the ring were a delight.

A super class to start the day. 

1st: 1706 HUMPHREYS, Mrs L Ch Amarantos Tobin. Superbly balanced 7yr old in perfect coat and condition. Compact and dainty with firm topline, good chest and ribbing, good front and rear angulation and well set and carried tail. Really lovely head and expression with good dome, large flaring ears, round dark eyes and short pointed muzzle. Moved so well in all directions, accurate and brisk, holding his outline firm. I loved his attitude, he showed his heart out and seemed to enjoy every minute. I couldn’t deny him the RCC. RDCC, BV. 

2nd: 1725 SANGSTER, Mr James & SANGSTER, Miss Eilidh Ch Tidos Charlie He's My Darling At Kirlasidh JW. 10yrs old and still looking great for his age. A little longer than 1 with ample reach of neck, good spring of rib, sound front and rear assembly and well set and carried tail. Very sweet face with lovely eyes, dense pigment, defined stop and short muzzle. Moved happily, very nice out and back.  

3rd: 1701 HEAPPALMER, Heappalmer William Jill Ch Penapettit Platinum

1st: 1726 SANGSTER, Mr James & SANGSTER, Miss Eilidh Kirlasidh Young Pretender. A very exciting puppy who was intent on throwing away any chance he had of higher honours (and suceeded). Loved his size, substance and shape, carrying the correct coat with perfect topline and tail carriage. Gorgeous head and expression, lovely eyes, flaring ears and nicely finished muzzle. Moved well (when he wanted to) but just didn’t want to cooperate fully and as much as I liked him I couldn’t do any more for him in the challenge. I hope he’s just being a stubborn puppy and will be more cooperative in the future as he is certainly champion quality. 

2nd: 1691 DENNIS-SMITH, Mrs D Starceylon Sundown. A little bigger than 1 but soundly made with good topline, well sprung ribs and good depth of chest. Nice expression from large dark eyes, dense pigment and well set and used ears. Moved well. 

3rd: 1729 TAYLOR, Mrs Jackie & TAYLOR, Miss Isobel Ahau Casa Grande Wanna be adored

2nd: 1731 TODD-MCCOID, Mrs Leah & TODD-MCCOID, Mr. Nicholas Rubyanlo Te Amo JW. Just 12months so has some maturing to do and needs to carry a little more weight. Very nice head with dark eyes, large ears, good dome, short pointed muzzle and definite stop.
