Afghan Hounds

Puppy.1 Prestigious How Will I Know. Quality young 11 month old brindle bitch who appealed for her overall shape and style. Pleasing head of good length, good strength to jaw. Would prefer her eye set a fraction more oblique. Good neck into well placed shoulders. Correct length of forearm allowing for correct front assembly. Good bone and nice size foot. Decent topline. Correct croup. Typical action although would prefer her to carry her tail a fraction higher which I am sure she will when she builds in confidence. Moved soundly. BP and BOB.

PG.1. Nightwind You’re My Kind Of Crazy. Nice B/S bitch. Pleasing head and expression. Head of good length and with no lacking of strength. A little short in upper arm and upright in shoulder which affected her front reach. Good topline and croup. Nice overall size and shape. Good bone and feet for a bitch. In excellent coat and condition.

Open.1. Prestigious How Will I Know. 2. Absolute Afghans Djibouti At Karnak JW (IMP Nor). Gold dog. All male Afghan with many attributes. Correct size and shape.

Nice topline and croup, not overdone behind. Moved well. Carrying a fraction too much weight today.

Basenjis

PG. 1. Catuma Xuta Tabangwa. Tri Bitch. Nice for size and shape. Pleasing head of correct proportions and well chiselled. Would prefer a little more wrinkle to complete the expression. Nice dark eye. Ears a little larger than optimum. Good neck into decent shoulder. Nice bone and feet. Well sprung deep ribs. Falls away at croup and has low tail set which detracts from her overall look. Moved well with super reach in front.

Open. Difficult class to sort out. 1 Mombatongaempress Eugenie of Cooperland JW. Tri. Nice size. Head of correct proportions, which is clean in backskull and nicely chiselled. Dark eye of correct shape. Another I would prefer a fraction more wrinkle to complete the expression. Excellent front assembly. Nice bone and feet. Nice level topline although could be a fraction shorter. Well angulated behind. Moved ok. 2 Shyllar Rapt in Gold. Another quality basenji. Scored in head and expression. Nice size and shape.

Miniature Schnauzers.

Puppy. Quality class of three nice P/S male puppies. 1 Monchelsea Ticket To Ride. Typey young P/S male. Super quality head that won him this class. Correct head shape and proportions.

Well ribbed up and well sprung. Nice hind angulation. Moved very well in both directions. In super harsh jacket and leg furnishings which were put down in A1 condition. Gryselda Step In Time. Another nice young pup that should do well. Many of the attributes of 1 apply here also. Nice head and expression and neat well used ears. Good neck and shoulder. Well ribbed up and short in loin.

Drak round eye of correct size and well-shaped and well set ear. Good front. Pleasing and not overdone correct topline. Ok hind angulation but could be more muscled up.

Very light on her feet with lovely front stride and well powered from behind. 2. Boughton Back In Style. Litter sister to 1 and similarly very typey.

Kiromol Reckon Im Hot

PG. 1. Boughton Back For Good. 7 month old Greyhound female. I really liked this litter sister to my winners in puppy. A little more mature and settled than her siblings she is a very nice prospect. Very pleasing head of correct proportions and good dark eye. Overall, her silhouette is typically greyhound, with a lovely topline. Moderate and well-muscled hindquarters. Moved very well fore and aft. Second in the puppy group, where she gave her sympathetic handler a harder time than in this class. 2. Switherland Gabriella At Stookewood. Nicely headed basset bitch. Is a quality specimen and nice for overall size and type. I would like a fraction more keel of this bitch and a slightly stronger topline. Moved well. 3. Kiromol Reckon Im Hot

Lovely bone and feet which are correctly place. Body of good proportions with good ground clearance. Nice topline and correct tailset and carriage. Moved very well in the class and was very precise, I am sure her would have figured in my group placing but unfortunately went lame. 2. Switherland Final Chase at Stookewood. R/W Basset. Pleasing head and expression, correct head planes, well set leathers of correct length. Not overdone in anyway. Good body proportions and enough ground clearance. Would prefer hocks let down more.

AV Import Hound.

1. Stonemartin Bron. Azawakh. Whilst in no way a breed specialist I really liked this young hound. Certainly gives the impression of lean elegance. A very raw young bitch who needs to mature, she has a lovely head which is lean and well chiselled. Fine correctly shaped ears which are carried well. I would prefer a slightly more oblique eye to be critical. Good neck into well placed shoulders. High withers and correct level topline with slight rise. Good length of leg. Well tucked up.
