Any Variety Rare Breeds Utility&Working, Southern Counties 2024

Special Beginner (4,3)

1. Brintala’s Girl on Fire

German Pinscher. Bitch, typically square. Attractive head and lovely eyes. Ears under development. Medium neck. Could do with more angulation both ends. Pleasing topline. Very good coat and colour. Excellent temperament. Moved quite well from the side and in front, but rather bow legged behind.

Puppy Dog (1,1)

Junior Dog (1)

1. Falkor Stand and Deliver

German Pinscher. What a sensational young dog! Very striking in his outline and proportions and fully mature at a young age. Masculine head with excellent head planes, typical expression. Excellent neck into shoulder. Well angulated both ends. Excellent topline and tailset. A very balanced and sound mover from all angles. He is just fabulous, I have not seen a German Pinscher as good as this in a very long time. Best AV Rare Breed.

Post Graduate Dog (3,2)

1. Hitorikko Go Hajimari under Kyuuten

An impressive Japanese Akita, well up on legs and almost square. Attractive head with an exotic expression, he used his ears well to frame his face. Pleasing neck into shoulder. Firm topline, very well set tail. Very moderate, but balanced angulation both ends. He moved very well from the side and from the front, but has quite a lot of improvement to do as viewed from behind. Attractive coat and brindle colour with urajiro.

Open Dog (1,1)

Veterans (2)

1. Goodsouls Rumour Has It It’s Falkor

A very attractive German pinscher bitch, very well balanced and a phenomenal mover. Attractive head and expression. Strong neck. Balanced angulation both ends. Correct body length to length of leg. But she has more body than she needs at this time. She moved very well indeed from all angles with plenty of energy and animation and truly defying her age.

2. Goodsouls Mr Brightside

Black and tan German Pinscher male, strong and masculine, quite well balanced and well up on legs. Reasonable head, but could use his ears better to give more of an expression. Pleasing neck into shoulder. Good topline, but tail is a little low set. He used his legs well on the move, but could carry himself better. Excellent coat and colour.

Puppy Bitch (3,1)

1. Nara Go Towa No Miyako

Japanese Akita. At 11 months this bitch has come a long way and she is very attractive. Tall, still very feminine, she has a lovely expression, very exotic, and she uses her ears and neck very well to enhance this. Balanced angulation both ends, firm topline, well set and carried tail. She moved very well from the side and from the front, if too narrow behind.

2. Komadori Bomeka Hime Go

Japanese Akita. Much of the same comments apply as this bitch is very similar to the winner, but not quite as exotic as the nor does she have quite the same neck. Balanced angulation, excellent topline and tailset. Lovely coat and colour, excellent urajiro. She moved well from the side and from the

front, again narrow behind.

Junior Bitch (4)

1. Brintala’s Queen of Hearts

German Pinscher black and tan. A very smart bitch. Not small, but feminine. She has a lovely outline, very hard in her lines. Quite pleasing head and expression. Long neck with strength. Balanced angulation, on the moderate side. Excellent topline and tailset. Moved with animation and style, again well balanced.

2. Falkor Poetry in Motion

Another black and tan German Pinscher. Ideal size and feminine. Not quite as smart as the winner, but generally well made and sound. Her ears are disturbing her expression. Balanced angulation and quite a pleasing mover.

3. Albionspitz Jupiter, Eurasier

Post graduate Bitch (6,3)

1. Hightimbers Oreo Cookie

A Hovawart bitch with a very attractive outline, but at this time rather narrow and needs to gain more width all the way. Very feminine head, again on the finer side. Strong neck. Very pleasing bone and feet. Deep chest, excellent topline. Balanced angulation in front, could do with some more angulation behind. Moved well from the side, but very narrow behind, pleasing in front. Lovely coat and colour. Well handled.

2. Albionspitz Kasha

Eurasier bitch of very proper type and well proportioned, she has an attractive head and expression. Balanced angulation both ends. Deep and capacious body, firm topline, good tailset. Not in coat condition. She moved well in front, narrow behind and somewhat heavily from the side.

Open Bitch (1)

1. Albionspitz Diphda

Eurasier bitch of very pleasing type and quality, if somewhat on the longer side as for body length. Typical, feminine head and expression. Excellent ears. Strong neck, well set. Well angulated both ends. Firm topline, well set and carrier tail. In a pleasing coat condition. Moved reasonably well from all directions, but could display some more energy.
