Thanks to the Officers and Committee for the wonderful opportunity to judge their Open Breed Club Show. Many thanks to my support team of Gary Southgate, Wendy Absalom and Vikie Ellis, for keeping everything in order. Congratulatons to the winners but more importantly, to all the exhibitors for showing appreciation to the winners and supporting each other. This was lovely to witness. The bitch challenge was hotly contested and clearly contained future Champions.

1. Wilson’s Jabrevia Hot On My Toes. 20 months. Impressive dog. He has excellent balance and produces a clean outline. He is confident and alert. Masculine and strong but not overdone. His head is typical giving that scowling expression. On the move he holds himself together with a secure backline and makes full use of his well angulated front and rear assembly.

3. Steenburgan’s Mireya Off Cenayda’s Home.

Novice Bitch 1

1. Southgate’s Santicana Queen Of Spades. 9 months. Loved her head. She is well bodied and of a nice shape but she was rather nervous and particularly when attempting to examine her on the ramp so it had to be basic and elementary. Just needs time.

Graduate Bitch 1

1. Fisher’s Poppykins Golden Ticket. 13 months. I admired her head for expression. Broad skull, clean dark attractive eyes, good dentition and finish. At this stage of development, naturally she will mature. Good to examine and already possesses a well-made body and sturdy front legs. Liked her typical profile action; rear movement to strengthen.

Post Graduate 1

1. Rennie’s Rendel Love Me Tender. 2 years old. Ultra feminine but with substance and bone to compliment. She is delightful to go over and sound and typical on the move. I loved her expressive dark eyes, excellent dentition and pigmentation finished with good breadth to muzzle. Well placed ears. Compact, ribbed body. She was presented in first class condition. In a hotly contested challenge I felt the result of a long day illustrated she was not quite as animated as she appeared in the class. Notwithstanding, she is a beautiful example of the breed.
