Breed: Hovawart

PGD 2(0)

1. McLure’s Pines Mansion at Kanukalos. 16 months, I judged this young male as a puppy and he has certainly matured into a promising young man, liked his substance and proportions, lovely angles front and rear, masculine head with dark eye, strong neck and shoulders, excellent bone, lovely depth of chest, firm top-line and well muscled throughout, BD.

2. Edwards’ Hightimbers Walnut. 3 years, another nicely balanced male with masculine head and a lovely expression, a little narrower in his front than 1 and not quite the substance but he was pleasing to go over, strong neck into good shoulders, lovely outline and sound in top-line, not quite the free stride of winner.

1. Foakes’ Hightimbers Oaks of Tutelary. Lovely male of 3 years who was litter brother to 2nd in PGD, lovely masculine strong head which was balanced in skull, strong muzzle, lovely neck and well set shoulder, liked his body proportions throughout, he was nicely angulated front and rear and moved with a sound easy stride, RBD.

2. Whitmore/White’s Johan Hovi-Raj of Driftingsky (imp SVN). Another nice example of this breed, 3 years, appealing in head with a lovely expression, dark eye and well set ears, strong neck into a well set shoulder, good proportions, moved out with purpose, presented in excellent coat and condition.

1. McLure’s Hightimbers Ticket to Dream at Kanukalos. 5 year old bitch who for me ticked the boxes for this breed, feminine expressive head, strong neck and well set shoulder, good depth of chest and correct rib, lovely body proportions, excellent sound top-line, she was well muscled and fit, moved out with an easy effortless gait, beautifully presented in good coat coat and condition, RBB.

2. Robinson/Brown’s Hightimbers Oreo Cookie. Very feminine bitch of 2½ years, finer all through but she had a lovely expressive head, she was nicely angulated overall although she could have had a tidier front, sound top-line and well muscled rear, she was presented in excellent condition and moved steadily. 


OB 2(0)


1. McLure’s Kanukalos Burletta VW (AI). A bitch who I have judged before and now in her 10th year, she is fit and well conditioned, she has the most feminine expressive head, she has substance and lovely proportions, strongly made yet never losing femininity, lovely angles, good depth of chest, well ribbed, strong loin, steady effortless gait and she had the most endearing temperament, BB, BV & BOB. 

2. Hemsworth’s Hightimbers Travel Tickets. Black bitch of 7 years in her absolute prime, feminine head with kind expression, well muscled neck and well set shoulder, good proportions and depth of chest, she was balanced and free on the move and was presented in excellent coat and condition.
