The Carina Smillie Memorial Special Award Classes

J (7, 3a): 1 Adams’ Tequesta Poldark JW, very smart l/w dog of 14 months, masculine, stands over his ground on lovely tight feet, brisket down to elbow & elbows close to the chest wall, a picture of flowing lines with a strong topline, correct rear angles, well-muscled thighs & hocks vertical to the ground. Scored both standing & moving, skilfully presented. Must have a very bright future; 2 Peebles’ Seasham Too Much Heaven, l/w bitch just still a baby of nearly 8 months. Appeals in outline, she really stacks up well & has good posture holding a strong topline. Deep brisket, lovely ribbing, correct turn of stifle. She is not as together on the move as 1 at present but this will come in time; 3 Smillie-Gray & Gray’s Pelenrise Blow Me A Kiss from Oakberrow.

PG (9, 3a): 1 Angus’ Keigame Hearts Desire of Sparkenhoe AI JW, l/w spotted of nearly 2 years, feminine, nice proportions, good bone for size, brisket down to elbow. Good depth of flew & open nostrils, clean neck into well laid shoulders, correct rear angulation. Occasionally she would stand a little rocking horse-y but this was never apparent on the move or when glimpsing her off guard. She is well made & displayed co-ordination & soundness on the move; 2 Jackman & Jackman’s Navigareamor Spring Tide, b/w ticked bitch of 3 years, appeals in outline, well balanced with strength through the loin & well-muscled rear quarters. Stands on compact feet, good bone for size, correct turn of stifle. Preferred the movement of 1; 3 Russell’s Fraulynzway Lightning Bolt JW.

O (10,4a): What a top quality class – it was very hard to pick between the exhibits & made all the more difficult by being a mixed sex class. 1 Izard’s Ch Yockletts Hambledon, beautiful l/w ticked bitch, so very sound both standing & moving, nothing is exaggerated, just lovely balanced angles fore & aft. Beautiful outline, clean neck into well laid shoulders, good coat & depth of brisket, taut through the loin & sound on the move. Lovely to go over – in good condition with well-defined muscles. Very anatomically sound & hard to ignore; 2 Bowler’s Sh Ch Winterwell Iggy Inch JW, such a sound handsome boy, has won under me before. Appeals in outline, short back with a good firm topline. He is lovely to go over, good front assembly, well laid shoulders, strong over the back & through the loin, good rear angles. Feeling the heat streaming into the hall today so was not at his best on the move; 3 Sielski’s Sh Ch Orchidstar Bolts Of Speed.
