WALES AND WEST OF ENGLAND PEKINGESE ASSOCIATION OPEN SHOW 20/10/24

Thanks to the committee for the invite to judge such a wonderful breed, and Thank You to the exhibitors for their excellent sportsmanship.

JD. 

             1 and RBD. SHAW, MEE and RANSOME Pekehuis Hyperion. Masculine youngster just out of puppy. Headpiece has real quality. Eyes are ideal for size shape and colour. Excellent expression. Nose placement correct. Nice finish to underjaw and his head is wide and shallow. Correct for neck length and his shoulder assembly is very good. Bone enough for size. Compact in body and of course he needs to mature in ribbing, but he is a young dog of type and quality. Lovely fall of coat of correct texture. Moved soundly, and he was presented expertly. One to watch.

ND.   

1. WILSHER Dominic Lee Pekinskiy (IMP UKR) Top size and profusely coated dog with considerable ring presence. Presented in clean and well groomed condition. Coat texture good. Structure is sound throughout, but he was determined to not use his tail today. Would prefer him slightly shorter in loin. Head is strong but not coarse. Friendly temperament, just needs to settle to the job at hand.

LD.

1. BENSON Chrisprite’s Code Breaker. Masculine in outlook, ultra compact in shape, this dog has a lot to like. Head well laid out. Good in topskull. Earset correct and ears carried correctly. Neck is short and thick, and his front and shoulder is very good. Nice quality bone, and substantial throughout. Back short and his rear is made right being lighter than the front. He has coat of very good texture which covers his body well but not excessively so. Sound moving, and happy in temperament. Quality dog.

OD.

1 and BD. OADES Brentoy Max Power. Another top size dog with real presence. Absolutely no doubting his sex. Head masculine in appearance. Eyes good for size, shape and colour, and he has nice expression. Neck short and strong. Front as sound as a bell and his bone is heavy down to his feet. Chest has real width and depth, and his well ribbed body is compact and sturdy. Tail up and over. Rear moderately angled with short strong hocks that drove him well. Moved freely and easily with typical gait, and his correctly textured coat was presented beautifully. Excellent temperament and a willing showman with personality plus.

MPB.

1. HEAP Shiera Discordia. Two lovely babies, but the winner of the class was this exquisitely headed puppy of just over 7 months old. My notes say beautifully headed, and she was. Really nice for eye and expression. Head is shallow, wide and envelope shaped. Chin and bite correct. Nose placement ideal. Neck correct for length, and her front although immature is soundly made. Body wise she is very much a baby, but she is compact enough and well balanced all through. Bone commensurate with her size. Feet good and she is correct in pastern. Topline nice and level and her rear is angled correctly. She carries a lovely puppy coat and was presented in smashing nick. Lovely temperament and she moved as a puppy should. Has promise.

2. PARADISE Shardlow Zsa Zsa Gaborgeous. Comment must be made about the fab name – love it. Again a nice balanced puppy all through, with very nice bone and substance. Not quite the compactness of shape as the winner, but she is sound and typy and clearly having one of those growth stages that they all get. Front good. Rear good. Pretty face, pleasing in eye and expression, but would prefer less protusion of chin. Happy temperament and eager to please her handler.

PB

1. Shardlow Zsa Zsa Gaborgeous. See previous.

2 . POOLE Kocho Shooting Star. Close up to winner and not dissimilar in tyoe. Not quite as level in topline on the day. Headpiece is feminine and well laid out. Very nice for eye and expression. Body maturing nicely and she moved typically. Lovely temperament and presented very well.

JB

1, BB and BIS POOLE Kocho Dolly Daydream. Beautiful young bitch just out of puppy and with so much to like. Superbly balanced all through, and moving like a little dream, she is so rich in breed typical qualities that she cannot be overlooked. Compact in body, her balance static and in motion is excellent. Topline dead level, well ribbed and short in loin. Tail bang on for set and carriage. Rear is set true and angled correctly and lighter than her front. Her front is so soundly constructed having width and depth, and her foreleg is ideal for length being not too short and not too long. Bone is excellent, and she picks up heavy. Evident prosternum. Neck short but not stuffy, and carried the best head of the day proudly. At this age there is nothing I would change about her face. Eye and expression is beautiful, her nose placement is excellent, and her ears are set correctly ideally framing her shallow and wide head. Lustrous pigmentation and her chin and width of underjaw is correct. She moved out so well and looked the part from all angles, retaining that typical peke gait. She is all of a piece, is of lovely type and quality, and I hope she goes on to fulfil her abundance of promise. Good luck with her.

2. WATERS Jadape Sofreggio. Another nice one and pushed winner hard. Lovely for size, and nicely balanced all through. Really nice wodth to her front, and lovely tiidy feet. Compact in body and a free moving bitch, she has type and quality and was unlucky to meet the first today. Another one to watch.

NB.

LB.

1. BENSON Chrisprite’s Cracker. High quality bitch with some lovely breed typical points. Excels in head. Excellent eye and expression and she looks at you right. Topskull and ear set very good, and her muzzle has correct width to it. Bite correct. Neck is ideal length and her body is compact and built on the right lines. Not quite the topline of the class winner, but she was a sound and typical mover. Coat is excellent and presented very well.

OB.

1, RBB and RBIS. ROGERS Ralshams Lady Ma Donna. Super quality bitch at the height of her powers. Chock full of breed type. Substantially made and of excellent size. Head has strength but retains femininity and her eye and expression is lovely. Face shallow. Earset and ear carriage spot on. Her nose placement is correct and she has an air of haughtiness to her. Neck short and strong and body wise she is as sound as a bell. Topline good. Quarters well made, as is her front. Carries a lovely coat and presentation was excellent. Pushed BIS very hard, and the slightly more compactly built bitch won. Two beauties with so much to like, it was a very close decision.

2. SHAW, MEE and RANSOME Pekehuis Daydreamer. Beautifully headed bitch again of excellent type and quality. Slightly longer cast than winner, and not her bone and substance, but she is an excellent mover with real ring presence. Self assured in temperament and she is a willing showgirl. Coat beautifully presented and of correct texture.

SO B/BT/BW

1. DIXON and PENMAN Dragden Hope. Delightful young black with white bitchstatic that is beautifully headed. Lovely eye and she has the most engaging of expressions. Nose placement spot on and her muzzle has width with lovely quality of flew. Neck good and her body is well made. Moved soundly and typically, and she clearly enjoyed her day and her tail action made that an obvious fact. Smashing temperament and very well handled and presented.
