Southampton & District Canine Association

Cesky Terrier

A quality entry in my opinion

Puppy (2) 2 promising puppies

1st: Samson’ Silak Little Monster. A cracking young boy who is very immature but has all the things in all the right places to make a very promising adult indeed. Head is relatively long with slight stop. Medium sized eyes. Friendly expression. Ears are triangular. Well built. Typical topline. Sound mover. BP

2nd: Samson’s Silak Never Miss A Beat. Altogether, more mature looking. Really lovely head with a very typical expression indeed. Neck is elegant and strong. Topline is a little flatter than 1st. Moderate angles. Coat in great order. Very sound mover.

Junior (1)

1st Samson’s Talyot Odin Silak. I liked this was for overall shape and strength. Not quite as typical in outline as my main winner. Head is of a nice shape and in ideal proportion to body. Friendly expression. Good, balanced angles. Moved out soundly.

Post Graduate (3,1)

1st: Goundry’s Komidon Symphoniques At Sarminija. A bitch with a good head. Up to size. Excellent expression and typical in eye and ears. Neck shows a degree of elegance. Would like slightly more angulation to shoulder. Topline a little exaggerated for my preference. Tail set ok. Moves soundly.

2nd: Burrage’s Komidion Sonata For Sametova JW. A bitch of quality. Preferred her for size and overall shape to 1st. Nice head with strength and ideal balance. Typical outline for the breed. In excellent coat and condition. Lost out here as she was pulling all over the place on the move and just not able to assess, I’m sure she can go much better.

Open (6,1)

1st: England & Burrage’s Ch Ashleyheaths Black Thunder ShCM ShCEx VW. An upstanding male I have judged before and it was a delight to see him again here. Great head with so many excellent breed features, ideal balance, and shape. Has a most typical outline for the breed and is firm and muscular throughout. Excellent angulation. Great tail set. In superb coat and condition and moved out effortlessly. Lovely dog. BOB

2nd: Samson’s Silak Shasgav Sound Of Silence ShCCM ShCEX. Another class act for me. Feminine but with strength. Lovely friendly expression. Good balance to skull and muzzle. Correct width through skull. Elegant neck leading to well-placed shoulders. Typical topline. Firm loins. Chest of correct depth and length. So well presented in tip top condition. RBOB

American Cocker

Puppy (2,1)

1st: Weller’s Sabisabi Apache Tonka at Geenawell. This pup had quite a nice head with sweet expression. Correct proportions of skull to muzzle. Eyes correct for shape and set and colour. Ears set typically. Neck too short and shoulders rather upright. Chest ok for width. Topline slopes slightly downwards. Moved out soundly. BP

2nd: Pratts’ Sanelle Alfonso. Vey immature and lots of maturing to do. Head and body developing along nice lines. Eyes are ok for shape and set. Neck medium in length and shows slightly better angulation at shoulder than 1st. Topline slopes slightly. Tail set correct. Real baby and not so collected on the move at present.

Junior (2,0)

1st: Walden’s Taramount Golden Ticket. A pretty good American. Head is ok for shape and is in proportion to body. Correct degree of stop and proportion of skull to muzzle. Eyes ok for shape. Ears well set and are of correct length. Neck could be longer. Shoulders could be slightly more angulated. Upper arm returns sufficiently. Gentle slope to topline. Good turn of stifle. Nice cobby body. Tail set on a line with topline and carried well. Very sound mover.

2nd: Tadhunter’s Taramount Pure Imagination. Similar in 1st in many respects. Typical head with ideal expression. Slightly better neck and shoulder than 1st. Appearing rather longer in body than 1st at present. Moves soundly.

Open (2,1)

1st: Niessen’s Am Ch Rotojet’s Roll Call. I liked the type on this dog. Rounded skull with good width. Correct stop and well-proportioned skull to muzzle. Eyes are expressive and of a nice shape. Ears are well set and of correct length. Neck ok for length. Shoulders are quite well laid and upper arm returns well. Deep chest. Cobby body. Firm topline which shows a very slight slope. Well-turned stifles. Well set and carried tail. Moves with a typical free action. BOB

Golden Retriever

Puppy (5,0)

What a super class!

1st Gayler’s Carolake X’Marks The Spot. A scrumptious puppy! Really lovely head with the kindest of expressions. Skull was broad without coarseness. Muzzle was wide and deep but maintained femininity. Dark eyes. Clean, muscular neck of good length. Very well laid shoulders and excellent return to upper arm. Nice bone for age. Deep chest and width is ok. Short coupled through the body. Firm, level topline. Well bent stifles. Round cat feet. Tail set level with back. Super positive mover with a nice long stride and so sound out and back. Loved her. Shall watch her career with interest. BP & BOB

2nd: Waterman’s Burleybeck Swing On A Star. Again, a very pretty young girl with a really kind expression. Head shows strength without coarseness. Nice deep wide muzzle. Good length to neck which was clean and muscular. Excellent shoulders and upper arm. Chest developing well. Short coupled. Topline firm. Not quite as nice in balance as the winner. Tail set on level with topline. Little more immature throughout but super sound and looked a picture to take RBOB.

3rd: Taylor’s Pandreft Tamara

Junior Dog (3,0)

1st: Henson’s Cinderbank Move It Jw. Stood out here. Flashy. No doubting this one is a boy. Masculine through the head and shows strength throughout. Liked his head for proportions and expression. Dark eyes of nice shape and set. Neck ok for length. Shoulders moderate in angulation. Upper arm sufficient. Deep chest with good width. Short muscular loins. Topline just slopes away a bit too much for me. Well bent stifles. Good tail set and carriage. Positive on the move.

2nd: Brewer’s Stradcot Poetry In Motion. There was lots I liked about this well-balanced bitch, but she really wasn’t focussed in this weather. Lovely head. Soft, gentle expression. Dark eyes. Neck of good length and a really nice forehand. Chest of good depth and width. Nice bone for size. Level topline. Didn’t move out to her full potential but was very sound. Bit more maturity and better conditions could have swapped places.
