Utility Group – judge: Penny Roberts

German Spitz (Mittel)

Special Yearling (1)

1. Hutchings-Brooks & Brooks, Jansanleis The Magic Piper with Jenerelena NAF/TAF. Pretty 6 mo cream bitch puppy. Head is developing and she has well set ears and correct eye shape; head needs to broaden, but plenty of time. I liked her overall square outline and her lovely front, neat bone and good feet. Dense puppy coat was well presented. Moved nicely. BPIB.

Open (3,2)

1. Thomas’ Int Ch Clarmers Talking Mischief with Kelmorespitz (Lux, Jr Ch BJWLU17). 6 yo black bitch of lovely type. Super head and expression, sufficient neck, lovely overall construction and correct square outline. In lovely jacket, well presented. Moved out so well with correct foot placement. BOB.

Boston Terrier

Special Yearling (3)

1. Connor’s Ringablok Diamond Star. Liked this young male – 7mo and developing well. Pleasing head with lovely dark, round eye, ears set correctly and proportions good. Sufficient neck, moderate angulation front and rear; body compact with short loin. Nice and easy on the move. BPIB/BOB

2. Bundy’s Murrayclan Edinburgh Lass. Attractive 1 yo bitch with very pretty head and, smaller all through than 1, was well proportioned. Sound on the move.

3. Connor’s Murrayclan Starlight of Ringablok.

Open (4)

1. Guy’s Wynele Trooping The Colour. 6 yo male. I liked his overall balance of outline – with good topline. Good in body with sufficient depth of chest. Moved out well.

2. Sabri’s Hilltops Skepta Boy Knows (imp USA). Smaller male, but retained balance of outline and good topline. Correct in head. Moved well, but not as positive as 1.

3. Snell’s Sonduriya Dewi Sant

French Bulldog (Absent)

Tibetan Spaniel

Junior (5,1). Tight decision between 1 & 2 – both lovely pups.

1. Smith’s Tibbiestars Tutti Frutti. Just fell for this 8 mo puppy bitch. Lovely, feminine head with correct ears and good eye shape, good proportions of skull to muzzle and firm chin, the most attractive expression. Correct angulation front and rear and overall so well balanced. Good bone and lovely feet. In very good puppy jacket that was well presented. On the move she had purpose and was true on the down and back and good side gait. In the challenge she just had that extra sparkle. BPIB/BOB

2. Rice’s Ricox I love My Mini Me. Another very pretty bitch, with everything as it ought to be. Correct in head, but I just preferred the expression of 1. Lovely bone and feet. Again was very sound on the move.

2. Thomas’ Kelmorespitz Dark N’Smokin. Good head and super construction on this black. Good bone. Moved soundly but not the fluidity of 1 today.

Open (4). Stunning class of super dogs.

1. Owen’s Belazieth’s Code Red at Gatchinyo. Striking male at top end of standard. Glorious dark red/gold coat of hard texture. His carriage and attitude were so ‘Tibetan’ and haughty! Head of good proportions, strong neck, good angulation front and rear and in fit, hard condition – which showed on the move, with the freedom to drive around the ring. BOB and Group 4.

2. Barnett & Carter’s Ch Belazieth Sundance Kid with Alamiks JW ShCEx OSW. This was a very tough call to make as I have had the pleasure of going over this beauty before. He has glamour in spades and is presented to perfection. Very sound on the move. For me 1 just had the edge in attitude today.
