City Of Birmingham Canine Association

I’d like to thank the exhibitors for such a great entry and for accepting my decisions so sportingly. It is some years since I last awarded CCs in papillons, and a lot has changed significantly in the interim. I was very taken aback by a significant number of dogs, who were shockingly underweight. Much has been made of ‘fine and dainty’ of late ,however skin and bone and anorexic disguised by coat, doesnot equate to ‘fine and dainty’, it equates to a weak ,poor body, lacking muscle and whilst we all know juvenile males can be challenging to maintain their body condition, some I found quite disturbing. I was also surprised how many dogs have turned ribs- well over a dozen! and given the high cost of entries, was very surprised at the lack of dental hygiene of some quite young dogs; 2 or 3 years old with appalling plaque /bad breath /gingivitis – not a healthy situation for longevity.

difficult class

1st: 3361 HEADLEY, Mrs Christine & HEADLEY, Mr Tony R Yeldaeh's Mr Fezzywig

Smaller, short-coupled r/w boy put down in good coat, with quite nice head, correct mouth, really very fine all through, still needs to body up & settle, particularly in front. moved ok, Needs time. Not enough of him for me.

2nd: 3406 TAYLOR, Mrs Pamela Pamhurst Neeps And Tatties

At the other extreme,bigger type of boy presented well, with heavier bone, in good coat, although better balanced throughout and moved ok, too much of him for me and carrying far too much weight.

3rd: 3360 HEADLEY, Mrs Christine & HEADLEY, Mr Tony R Yeldaeh's Mr Tumble, most appealing puppy with good head and topline, but was not moving as he should ,going away, today which cost him the class.

Class 1531 JD (8 Entries) Abs: 1

Res: 3393 QUINN, Mrs R Bresar's L'essenziale (Imp) It -very nice type just too thin for me.

1st: 3392 QUINN, Mrs R Amber Beauty Xany (Imp Pol) – RCC- really impressed by this young handsome, stylish b/w dog, who has lots of time on his side. Lovely type with a classic head, good mouth, lovely dark bright expressive eye, super large ears, well fringed, lovely elegant body which all fits together so well, with nice depth of chest, long tail well fringed ,not a small boy or a showing fool, but so refined, super mover both ways, lovely shaped feet ,just needs a little more maturity in body and coat to finish the picture.

Class 1533 PGD (2 Entries) Abs: 0: 3399 SLATER, Mrs L Bresar's Almeno Tu Nell ' Universo In Zizula JW (I

1St.Handsome r/w boy who I judged & liked as a puppy, with such a lovely appealing head and expression, impressive spread of large mobile ears, beginning to come into his own now, needs a little more time for his coat to reach his full potential. A very well-made taller boy, up to size, but no signs of coarseness, lovely bend of stifle and correct hock, well-shaped feet and good pasterns ,strong loin and level topline, well set and carried tail, can stand over extended in front at times in his eagerness, but so fluent on the move when moved at the correct pace & not rushing, a fitted jacket of the correct texture and a super showman.

2nd: 3335 CURRY, Mr D T & Mrs W Wilachans Gryffindor For Davankirk

Finer type r/w boy, with the most lovely hare feet, nicely presented coat -albeit a shorter fitted jacket lacking length as yet, needs more time for his head to come together ,a little strong in skull for the strength of foreface at this time ,giving him an unbalanced appearance in head at the moment, although not the topline or movement of 1, gave a good account of himself today.

Class 1534 LD (10 Entries) Abs: 1

1st: 3331 CARTER, Mr Derek & CARTER, Mrs KARAN Graycaz On A Mission Jw – CC

Have watched this impressive dog from ringside and was most certainly not disappointed on closer view. He has one of the nicest heads to handle, from his slightly rounded skull though the beautifully moulded cheeks into his finely pointed foreface, with good mouth, correct underjaw and tight lips, all fitting smoothly together, without a blaze, his totally symmetrical face markings add to the visual refinement in head. Good eye and well fringed ears giving a pleasing expression. A lovely depth of rib through to a graceful sweep over the loin, level topline, well angulated rear, very nice body., well-toned, strong shoulders, well-muscled neck holding his head proudly when moving, a very graceful dog, presented in full coat of excellent texture, albeit somewhat heavily marked to be super critical, gives a surprisingly mature picture for his young age. Good showman who put in a super performance, well deserved DCC/BOB

2nd: 3378 MORRIS, Mrs Ann A Tarnock Tap Dance Teddy, a lot to like in this b/w dog, a lovely type with a pleasing head and expression, well set eye and large well shaped ears- well fringed, quite well made, just about enough neck, nice level topline, well-shaped feet,moved ok but too underweight for me.

 2nd: 3400 STANBURY, Mrs S Ch Elendil Knights Templar At Inixia -another super sound well bodied dog from this kennel, slightly heavier type than 1, with more breadth of skull & fuller foreface, but a very handsome upstanding dog of excellent type, although not quite the finish of 1. moved out well & oozing vitality.
