MEMBERS LIMITED SHOW SATURDAY 7TH JANUARY 2023

JUDGE: MISS ANNE BRYSON (INUKSHUK)

With sincerest thanks to the Committee, Stewards and Exhibitors for such an enjoyable appointment. The large rings were absolutely super, so important to properly gait and assess larger dogs for whom breed specific movement is crucial. All dogs today demonstrated super temperaments. A few nails could do with trimming, not just for aesthetics but because allowing nails to grow too long can distort the shape of the foot, limb positioning and perceived angulation as was the case with a couple. Only one pastoral exhibitor had to be reminded it was unacceptable to tell the judge of past wins; I'm not intimidated let alone influenced by such information!

AV Import Reg. Working - Open (0)

Great Dane - Open (4, 1)

1. Young's LOMONDANE DINNAE BOTHER Almost 3 yr old fawn male who impressed from the get go. Super head of correct proportions and planes. Face chiselled and well filled in below eyes, eyes dark, ears folded forwards, correct scissor bite. Correct proportions, big flat bone, and solid muscling throughout. Neck long and well arched. Good forechest, deep brisket reaching elbow, ribs well sprung. Slight arch over strong loin. Good long and well developed second thigh. Cat-like feet with well arched toes. Effortless and elegant ground covering gait. BOB and G1.

2. Ferguson's ELITEDAIMOS MAGICK MAGO AT CHATEAUDAINE 17 month old blue male, good head, correct overall proportions, flat bone. I'd expect his chest to develop more with age. Ribs well sprung, belly well drawn up and excellent croup. Good angulation front and rear, good turn of stifle. Will benefit from more muscling as he matures but nevertheless he impressed on the move, lithe and springy covering the ground smoothly and winning him his place.

3. Martin's KEISHANT ARIA

Bullmastiff - Open (0)

Rottweiler - Open (1)

1. Topping's STAIRVALE GRACE VON ROTTSWORTH 10 month old, very sweet puppy bitch with an expression to melt. Broad head, muzzle short, demonstrating correct 2:3 ratio. Correct pendant ears lying flat and close to cheek. Dark brown eyes, medium sized and almond shaped. Spot over each eye, clearly defined markings throughout. Good overall proportions but would not wish any longer. Neck free from throatiness. Good depth of chest, well sprung ribs. Short steep upper arm, good layback of shoulder. Slight slope to pasterns. Back straight, loins deep and flanks not tucked up. Croup and tailset good. Good rear angulation, stifle well bent. Pads should harden with age, but one who would benefit from trimming those toenails as the feet are being splayed and appearing wider than they ought as a result, especially at the front. Very loose on movement overall but this should come as she muscles up and matures. Crabbing on the out and back, but again to be forgiven at this age and should hopefully settle with maturity and training. BOB and G4, AV Working Special Puppy

 Dobermann - Open (2, 1)

1. Cairns's LAMARG THE RUSSIAN PRINCESS 3 yr old attractive and sound bitch of good proportions, square in outline, ribs well sprung and extending to elbow. Correct round bone. Head very nice, typical elongated blunt wedge. Dark brown almond shaped eyes. Teeth more level than scissor. Neck fairly long and lean, no loose skin. Strong straight topline demonstrating slight slope withers to croup. Good slope to croup and correct tuck-up. Correct tailset and carriage. Rear angulation good with well bent stifle, front OK but not achieving desired 90 degrees. Nails longer than desirable affecting the shape of the foot on the weightbearing stand, foot shape is otherwise correct. Lovely coat with rust red markings where desired. A well muscled girl who moved satisfactorily. BOB and G2

 Newfoundland - Open (1,1)

 AV Working N.S.C - Junior (1)

1. Thomson's ASHRONSHA DREAM AWAY AT LATCHKEY JW Boxer 14 month old brindle and white bitch with a super glossy coat, smooth and tight to body. Lively alert expression, round dark brown eyes, dark rims with good pigmentation but showing slight haw. Lovely earset and carriage. Distinct stop. Would prefer a bit more length to muzzle but good width and depth. Nose broad, slightly turned up. Undershot jaw, curving slightly upward. Neck round and of ample length and muscling. Good square profile, good depth and width of chest for age. Well arched ribs. Back short, straight, slightly sloping, slight slope to broad croup as desired. Good taut tuck up blending well into curve to rear. Feet small and cat-like, well arched toes and hard pads. To be picky, a little under angulated in the front but correct slope to pasterns, and a little over angulated in the rear with pasterns appearing weak on the out and back, but with age and more muscling I would expect this to improve. She gave her handler a hard time on the move, but displaying throughout such a fearless and lively temperament. Loved her. Best AVNSC and G3

 AV Working N.S.C - Graduate (1)

1. Lee's GLENGRACIE SUMMER NIGHTS AT BONNACHNAOMH St Bernard 19 month old bitch in good coat. Good broad skull, slightly rounded with prominent brow. Stop well defined. Correct short muzzle, full in front of eye and square at nose end. Cheeks flat with good depth from dark eyes to lower jaw. Ears of medium size and lying close to cheeks. Needs more work to be able to show teeth - having a lot of fun and very affectionate. Thick neck, broad level back and croup sloping slightly to set on of tail. Well rounded ribs but chest extending below elbows. Shoulders broad with good slope. Moderate bend of stifle to rear but hocks turning out, and along with pasterns appearing weak on the move especially. Large compact feet but another that needs some nailcare. Good overall proportions but to get more out of this lovely young lady she needs to muscle up more, and get some more ringcraft training in.

Shetland Sheepdog - Open (3, 3)

Bearded Collie - Open (3, 2)

I'm very fond of this breed since an earlier stewarding appointment and so pleased to have had such an excellent bitch to go over today and award G1. My apologies I couldn't stay for BIS but I was thrilled to learn she took Reserve Best in Show.

1. Goodbrand's BRAESNOBEL RUM N'RAISON 17 month old slate grey bitch, with correct double coat, slight wave, not obscuring outline. Standing four square and exhibiting correct 5:4 body proportions. Good broad flat skull, head displaying super proportions throughout. Ears level with top of skull, medium size and drooping. Large square black nose, matching pigmentation to lips and eyes. Large wideset eyes, soft affectionate but enquiring expression. Neck of moderate length and nicely arched, leading to well laid back shoulders. Good depth of chest and length of ribcage. Good rear angulation, low hocks, well muscled. Oval feet well covered with hair. Absolutely sound on the move, effortless long stride, covering the ground so smoothly with her head lowered. BOB and G1

Welsh Corgi (Cardigan) - Open (0)

Welsh Corgi (Pembroke) - Open (1)

1. Mccoll's UNITA MENTALE ERNESTO IMP (NBT) RAF 8 month old dog of lovely straight coat and correct bone. Alert intelligent expression and friendly disposition. Skull is fairly wide and flat between slightly rounded medium sized ears. Correct line nose/eye/tip of ear. Brown medium sized kindly eyes. Strong jaw. Good length of neck into well laid back shoulders. Lower legs short and straight, forearm moulded around chest. Oval feet with well arched toes and pads. Chest broad and deep, ribs well sprung. Body of good medium length, level topline. Lowers head on the move with pleasing side profile. Moving a little narrow in the rear on the out and back today but nevertheless very impressive for one so young. BOB and G3, AV Pastoral Special Puppy

German Shepherd Dog - Open (2, 1)

1. Rogerson's FINLERIC LUGO 12 month old black and gold dog of super temperament. Good weather resistant coat. Correct oval bone and moderate build. Slightly longer than tall, but foreleg to chest more 50:50. Deep chest, long well formed ribs, not too broad. Neck carried nicely at 45 degrees to the horizontal on the stand. Good front angulation, shoulder blade and upper arm equal in length. Weak pasterns. Sloping topline leading to steep croup. Slight tuck up to loin. Over-angulated in the rear, not standing straight or parallel, but with weak and wobbly hocks. Good feet: rounded toes well closed and arched, pads are well cushioned and nails dark in colour. Head proportionate and masculine. Good muzzle. Fairly broad between medium sized ears. Perhaps a little in awe, but ears could be higher set. Eyes medium sized, almond shaped and giving lively intelligent expression. Lacking in muscling but only just out of puppy so hopefully will improve. Unfortunately combined with his rear end construction this really lets him down on the move. He needs more ringcraft to slow him down to a trot on a loose lead; given further opportunity to move he kept his head high and his hocks were audibly hitting off the hard flooring. On the out and back he was extremely loose all round. BOB

 2. Clark's ONEDIN DE LA TERRE SAUVAGE INTO JARAZ (IMP HUN) NAF Belgian Shepherd Dog Tervueren 7 month old dog, so young and growing but lots to like. Already demonstrating typical coat. Taller than long at present. Good level topline and short loin. Slight slope to croup. Correct length of tail with tip bent slightly backwards at level of hock. Good moderate shoulder angulation, flat shoulder blades. A little straight in second thigh at present. Correct round cat-like forefeet, more oval at rear as expected. Super head of correct proportions and planes, oozing balance. Triangular ears, set high and carried upright when alert. Medium sized dark brown almond shaped eyes, giving lively and sweet expression. Moving well for one so young, brisk and light on feet although not single tracking as yet. Unlucky to come up against 1st today.
