Richmond Dog Show Society

RICHMOND CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW FRIDAY 8 SEPTEMBER 2023 JUDGE: PAULA HILL – SANDAULA Its always a honour to be asked to judge your breed at Champ Show level. Thank you to the society old and new, my stewards and also exhibitors who ventured out in the glorious hot weather, which stayed with us all day. Whilst I was delighted with the overall quality, I was surprised to see a large number of incorrect bites throughout both sexes and across all classes, I'd hate to see this be the norm. Handling and presentation was exceptional as always. Veteran Dog 1st LOVEROCK, Mrs MC & WALDRON - SMITH, MRS L Lovissa Space Dust Sh.CM 9 year old mid gold boy, who is a joy to go over, he has a masculine head with a kind expression, carried on a strong muscular neck leading into good forehand construction, deep chest with ribs well sprung, he has a level topline both standing and on the move, hard condition which showed as he powered around the ring, presented in a thick golden coat of correct texture and groomed to perfection. delighted to award him BVD and later BVIB. 2nd ANGELL, Miss Beverley Sh Ch Millanza Toy Story JW 7 year old blonde boy, who appeals so much with his balanced outline, standing 4 square viewed from every angle, he has a kind and gentle masculine head with a melting expression, well laid back shoulders with equally good return of forearm, deep through chested with elbows well tucked in, dead level topline with tail straight off his back, good bend of stifle without being overdone, carry just the correct amount of weight once you get trough his thick and heavy coat, when he moves, he moves with a free easy stride, but didn't quite have the animation of winner today. 3rd TOWERS & HENDERSON, Mrs & Mrs S & M Alibren Galileo to Westervane JW SGWS Minor Puppy Dog 1st ANGELL, Miss Beverley Linirgor Seven Up At Millanza A very appealing 7 month cream boy who will take time to come together, sired by 2nd in veteran and can see a lot of the same attributes, 4 square balanced outline, gorgeous head with good pigment, neck of good length, good level topline which he holds on the move, still loose on the move but when he settles into his stride, he moves correctly and with good drive for his age. BPD 2nd MONTEVERDE, Mr. Giovanni Olvinglay Gan Amhras A 6 month baby with lots to like, a bit more rangey than winner but he has all the attributes to go far, even though he is very raw, you know he is going to trouble the best as he gets older and matures. He has a very clean outline, with good forehand assembly, good bend to stifle, neat hocks, he moved with a long free stride and was more settled in the next class to give him the class win.
