Wellingborough & District Canine Society

Wellingborough & District CS Open Show January 28th 2023

Judge: Averil Cawthera-Purdy

It was both an honour and a pleasure to be invited to be the BIS judge at this well run and well supported show. I was very well looked after throughout the day and my special thanks to the secretary Anne Mar-Gerrison, Show Manager Graham Dowdy, other members of the committee and my two lovely stewards for the Toy Breeds. It was the first time at the KC Building for the Society but ithanks to their careful organisation it worked well.

BIS

The group judges had done their jobs well and I was given a lovely selection for the top award but filling my eye was the top quality young Whippet, Wilton-Clark’s homebred boy, Shalfleet Chasing The Wind. Shapely and elegant up on his toes and giving the correct outline, excellent construction, strong movement, drew the eye without trying, my BIS. Into the Reserve spot Santoriello’s Min Pin Pinicio Red Rebellion JW. Again his movement attracted, so sound and with excellent breed specific gait. Loved his correct outline with good reach of neck and depth of chest, so well balanced throughout and giving his all for his handler, including cheekiness!

BPIS

For BPIS I was spoilt but fell for the 6mth old Dobe Wetherall’s Kodam Hotspot. She is very soundly constructed and already moving with both power and grace. So feminine in head and expression, lovely outline. RBPIS went to the Min Pin Watkins & Budgens Hawksflight Hot Pursuit, I was captivated by the charms of this little character. Excellent breed type, loved his outline which commands attention, soundly made and moving with purpose. Such a pleasing head and expression. So much promise!

BVIS

Burrage’s Cesky Terrier Ch Komidion Night Music at Sametova ShCM ShCEx VW at 12 ½ years young this evergreen young lady totally belies her age. Excellent breed type and super movement. Not surprised to hear she can still compete successfully against youngsters in her breed at the top level!

No rosette for Reserve which saved me having to decide between the Crested and Toller both of which I loved and were deserving of top awards.
