HOUND AND UTILITY BREEDS

Never having been to this particular venue before, it was easy to find using the Sat Nav. The parking was good, plenty of facilities and plenty of room inside. The committee were all very welcoming, and like all equestrian centres the flooring was questionable, but that said it is what it is, and it is the same for everyone and everywhere. I enjoyed my day judging and it was nice to see the exhibitors enjoying it as well, all taking their placings with good sportsmanship. I appreciated that the exhibitors had presented their dogs in a good clean condition, all were well groomed and well handled.

HOUND BREEDS

BASSET HOUNDS

Post Graduate D/B (2), 1. Coulbert, Mrs. P., Blevwil Prince Charming: A well grown 11mth old dog, absolutely full of himself, that takes your eye straight away. He is well balanced for his age. Showing his masculinity, plenty of substance, moving easily around the ring. Pleased to award him BP and Res. BOB.

2. Wilding & Nixon, Mrs. J. & Mrs. M., Nelgus Crunchy Nut at Brackenacre: A 13mth old bitch, not quite the front of the dog, that said she is very feminine with loads of substance, not quite as settled on the move as 1st. She has lovely dark colouring which looked very nice, should do well in the future.

OD/B (1,0), 1. Turner, Mrs. C.J., Devonhound Who’s That Girl, JW: An 18mth old bi-coloured bitch, lovely mover, went around the ring well. Quite eye catching with neat front and rear angles. Very feminine of excellent type and lots to like. Pleased to award her BOB.

BEAGLE

Post Graduate D/B (2), 1. Scarlett, Mrs. N., Vantonia Enchanted Over Michelroy: A 7mth old tri bitch of a very nice type and out-line for her age. She was well balanced which reflected in her movement which was steady and very confident when she moved. Pleased to award her BP and Res. BOB.

2. Hooper, Mr. R.M., Davricard Jacobean: A 11mth old tri coloured dog that did not have quite the same angles as front and rear as 1st placed. Although he has a better top-line, but didn’t move out as well as 1st today. He is of a nice type and out-line which is pleasing on the eye.

OD (1), 1. Breeze, Mr. G. & Mrs. E., Parkebreeway Wyseman, JW: A 2yr old white & tan dog, loved his rear angles and he was well muscled. He has a good top-line, pity he was alone in this class, as he is masculine and of a good type and out-line with a well-balanced head and neck.

OB (3), 1. Hooper, Mr. R.M., Bijou Tosha Avec Torbers, (Imp LVA): A 14mth old bitch of tri colouring, that is very eye-catching, she certainly took my eye. She is very feminine and as neat as a button, won this class easily with her clean cut out-line. She is so well-balanced and so typey, neat head, good angles front and rear and so smooth on the move. I had no hesitation in awarding her BOB and later awarding her Grp.3.

2. Scarlett, Mrs. N., Rossut Vestry with Michelroy, JW: A 21mth old tri bitch with very nice rear movement and good angles to rear. Just let down on front movement which allowed the top-line to move. But she is of a very nice type and out-line, and quite feminine. Pity she came up again 1st today.

3. Breeze, Mr. G. & Mrs. E., Dufosee Honestly of Parkebreeway: A 3yr old bitch, which was not too bad on the move. But I found her a little timid. I also found her front assembly is not her fortune, she does have a good rear end. Remember this should be a merry hound, such a shame.

AVNSC Hound

Open (1), 1. Carter, Mrs. A., Aabidah De Polvo Magico, (Imp.): Sloughi. An 18mth old bitch that is still skittish which put me off a little, as that is not a trait associated with this breed. She is however well built and shows plenty of breed type and out-line. She also moves typically for the breed. So deserved the to get Best AVNSC on the day.

HOUND GROUP:

1. Kilroy, Mrs. J., Blackvein Rambler at Janacop, JW: Dachshund (Mini Wire-Haired). A 2yr old bitch, she is not aware she is small, she dominated the ring, and I loved her from start to finish. What a trooper, moved a dream, well done. Grp.1.
