Post Grad (3, 1abs)

1st Moran’s AIBREAN ALL THAT I KNOW 20mth substantial bitch, head a little heavy but has correct proportions which when fully mature will clean up the overall look. Muscular neck, nicely put together front construction and chest development, stands straight in front onto lovely tight feet, good rear angles and strength in hock. Really liked her overall balance in body. Moved sound. Lovely character. BOB and later was pleased to award her Working Group 4

2nd Kenyon’s BISCAY WINSTON FOR DESQUIRE JW 21mth male. Substantial sized male, with super bone, but needs to shed a few pounds as the added weight isn’t helping his outlook and movement. Head has good proportions, broad in skull, strong muzzle, good eye. Broad in chest, with a good front assembly. Rear angles not quite as good as front, which is noticeable on the move, body is developing well, and already showing maturity in his spring of rib, but the extra weight affects his outlook. Moved sound in all directions.

1st Moran’s AIBREAN KILLER QUEEN 10mth puppy bitch, what lovely conformation this girl has got. At present her head is letting her down, as although the proportions are there it needs to develop which in time it hopefully will. She has a lovely front and rear angles and for one so young she is very sound; this is what won her the class. Standing straight in front onto tight feet. Length of neck is good and blends well, rib cage developing but already looks well, good width to croup which is nicely moulded, with nice tail set. BPIB and pleased to award her Puppy Group 3.

2nd Moran’s AIBREAN KENZO 20mth heavy set male. Lovely bone to match his size. Strength evident in his head, good width to skull with nice ear set and carriage, good filling, broad strong muzzle finishes with lovely chin. Stood straight in front, with a broad chest, good spring of rib, nice croup. Front and rear angles are balanced enabling him to move positive and sound, just not the ground coverage of first.

Puppy (3)

1st Blackburn’s DISARANTO A PERFECT MATCH (Imp POL) 10 month promising young male. Broad skull, short broad muzzle, lovely ear set allowing them to lay close to the head, finished with a lovely eye. Already strength is evident in his neck where it then blends well onto his good lay of shoulder onto a level topline. Stood straight in front with elbows close. Lovely rear angles and strength in hock. A very promising youngster pleased to award him BPIB & later Puppy Group 2

2nd Moir’s ELGRANDBEAR RAZZ MA TAZ 6 month black bitch, another youngster with lots of promise. Very close in these first two pups. She has lovely conformation, with the correct bone and cover.

Well put together front, where she stands on good feet, rear angles are just right, which enabled her to cover the ground well.

3rd Morgan’s NEWFANGLED CONFIDENTIAL

Junior (1)

1st McIntyre, Yates & Hall’s SHIREBEARS MYSTIFY WITH EDBEAR 12mth Brown male who has come up on himself, now needs to mature, all quite typical for his age. Good head type, with nice ears set well and held close, correct eye showing no haw, lovely broad muzzle. Front is pleasing to go over but still a little narrow which will improve over the coming months. Lovely sweeping rear angles and standing straight in hocks. Moved well in profile.

BOB

2nd McIntyre’s SHIREBEARS ENCHANTER FOR EDBEAR Just under 3 year old, overall, this Black boy is heavier set with bone to match. If anything, his head although in proportion and with breed qualities was a little bit heavy. Muscular neck, his upper arm is really good, but to compliment his lay of shoulder could be better, nice top line and depth of chest, maturity in body was evident with a good width across his back onto a broad croup which had a nice set of tail, his rear has nice angulation. Strength in his rear helped him to drive and move sound.

1st Siqueira’s GREY TETIS VIOLETTE OF VANDERALBERT (Imp UKR) Bouvier - 3 years of age, fawn bitch. Head has a broad skull, shallow stop and strong muzzle, complimented with a dark eye, and carriage of ears gave an alert expression.

Working Group

1st Lambert’s CH Seittor Frozen In Time 3 ½ year Rottweiler bitch. A quality bitch who I have judged before. She has so many virtues for the breed, and is a true working animal who with her excellent construction could do a full day’s work with ease. Such a feminine head yet with strength, skull is strong, nice stop strong muzzle, finished with a dark eye giving a lovely expression. Well-muscled throughout particularly on her first and second thigh, where the strength powers her on the drive, and with her front assembly being correct she is able to cover the ground with ease whilst maintaining her shape and exhibiting soundness.

2nd Kent’s LYFEARON OFF WITH HER HEAD Siberian Husky bitch of nearly 3 years. A lovely medium sized bitch with super conformation. Nice head, medium width with erect ears giving an alert expression, tapering to a muzzle of medium width and length. Medium length of neck onto a well laid shoulder, correct placement and length of upper arm enabling elbows to be close to body, stood straight in front onto tight feet. Body well developed with a level topline and depth of chest just above her elbow. Rear angles were well put together, where she was always standing true whenever she moved. On the move she floated around the ring covering the ground well.

Powerful rear, which enabled him to drive through on the move.

4th Moran’s AIBREAN ALL THAT I KNOW – DDB Judged in the breed, in the group she put on a good performance and was awarded group 4 on her overall conformation and positive movement.

Working Puppy Group

1st Kent, Kent & Sutton’s KORIFEY RECKLESS – Dobermann Judged him in the breed, a lovely young male who did all that was ask for his young calm handler. He performed so well and I was pleased to see him take RBPIS what an achievement for one so young.

2nd Blackburn’s DISARANTO A PERFECT MATCH (Imp POL) – Newfoundland I had judged him earlier in the breed, and was impressed with him then. I am looking forward to seeing how he matures on as he is a really nice boy. His performance in the group was super.

3rd Moran’s AIBREAN KILLER QUEEN – I had also judged this DDB earlier in the day, for the breed she is still maturing and her head is still to come, but in the group, I could not ignore her conformation and fluent movement for the breed. She has some good construction which could not be overlooked.

4th Odell’s HOWLVALLEY’s NYX – Siberian Husky bitch of just short of 12mths who was not happy in herself, with other dogs around. However, she wasn’t nervous and just unsure and when given time allowed me to go over with ease, she has a lovely shape, head displays a good expression with correct proportions, lovely eye. Neck of correct length already showing strength, onto a body that is developing, nice croup and tail set. Stood on good feet. She moved effortlessly around the ring using her well put together construction to do this.

Post Graduate (2)

1st Russell’s ZENTAUR FIZZICAL DAMAGE (2nd in Newfoundland Post Grad)

2nd Peplow’s MAYABERG ELKAP BE BOLD Leonberger of nearly 2 years old, and what a big lad he is, whilst he has grown up, he still needs to mature and fill out. At present he is still rather slab sided which also affects his front as his forechest has still to broaden. He has a nice pleasing head with a gentle stop that blends nicely onto his strong muzzle, eyes are correct and of medium colour, good ear size set and carriage with nice furnishing. He has the depth in chest and holds a level top line. Moved sound and presented in good condition.

Open (4, 3abs)

1st Odell’s LYFEARON SHE IS A WILDFLOWER HOWLVALLEY Siberian Husky bitch of nearly 3 years of age. Head is very pleasing with a correct chiselled look, good eye and correct ear size, shape and carriage, neck muscled onto a well laid shoulder, upper arm meets correctly to allow her to stand straight in front and standing on tight feet. Body has developed well, and leads onto a powerful rear where the angles are correct and displayed strength through muscle development in her thighs. Really liked her, she moved free around the ring using her power from her hind quarter where she was able to drive so well.

Veteran (2)

1st Lambert’s CH SEITTOR WILD FIRE JW ShCM Male Rottweiler who has so many characteristics of the breed, he is powerful and still has excellent muscle definition throughout. His angles are superb and are mirrored in front and rear. Head is strong yet not over done and finished with the kindest eye. In front he stands straight onto compact feet, whilst in his rear he is so true and stands on strong hocks. His movement is amazing. Such a credit to his owners. Best veteran and was so pleased to watch him take Best Veteran in Show.
