Tibetan Spaniels, Belfast 2025

Puppy Dog (1)

1. Castafiore Givenchy

Strong, masculine dog, very well developed for his 11 months old. Very masculine head with pleasing proportions, ears could be somewhat higher set. Correct stop and length of muzzle. Expressive. Medium short neck. Well angulated in front. Firm topline, long enough. Well set tail. Correctly moderately angulated behind. In a very good coat of very pleasing structure. He moved very well from the side, rather narrow behind. Best Puppy

Junior Dog (1)

1. Khadromas Anthony Quinn Jch

Well proportioned dog, masculine without lumber. Correct slightly rounded skull with good earset. Pleasing eyes, his head is also of pleasing size for the dog and not big. Rather big undershot, tending to show some teeth. Strong neck, well set. Very good angulation in front. Typical hare feet turning slightly out as they may. Strong topline, not completely level. Quite good tailset. He is a brisk, active mover, energetic and quite sound from all angles. In between coats at this time.

Limit Dog (4)

 Quite a good class, if rather variable in their virtues and qualities.

1. Castafiore Sevastyan

Well balanced dog, he appealed for his overall proportions and outline. Well up on legs and covers very good ground. Masculine head with slightly rounded skull, good ear placement. Rather deep stop. Pleasing length of muzzle. He is a sound and positive mover from all angles. In a very good coat.

2. Baarnayotms Sent From Above

Black and tan dog with a lovely attitude, arrogant and snotty. Just enough length of leg. Pleasing size of head, skull and ears. Dark eyes, I would not want a shorter muzzle than this. Typical neck, strong and crested. Firm topline, well set tail. Another sound and positive mover, at all times carrying himself well.

3. Jazzpiper I Am Maximus

Open Dog (6,1)

1. Ch.Ir.Am.Lux.Ch. Gallantib’s Oslo

Instantly attractive dog, he has a presence and quality about him. Typical slightly rounded skull, his head being the right size to fit his body. Expressive eyes. Well set and carried ears. Excellent, well filled muzzle. Moderately short neck with strength. Very well angulated in front with an excellent return of upper arm. Firm topline, well set and carried tail. Typical moderate angulation behind. Just long enough feet and I would have preferred some more daylight under him. Lovely coat, very well cared for and presented, and not overdone. He moved very well indeed from all angles. CC

2. Castafiore Sibelius

Taller dog with an attractive outline. He was not in his best coat condition on the day, so hid nothing and it quite suited him. Skull more than round enough. Correct length of muzzle. Well shaped and placed eyes. Good rise of neck. Firm, straight topline. Moderate, balanced angulation both ends. Light footed and easy on the move.

3. Lahume Major Finlay

Veteran Dog (1)

1. Susu Prince Charming ShCEx VW

At seven years old, this dog is in his prime. He is well balanced and proportioned and makes a very attractive outline. Typically quite small head, slightly rounded skull, well set ears. Could do with some more strength of muzzle and underjaw. Pleasing rise of neck. Excellent topline and tailset. Shows good daylight under him even if he has a fully grown coat. Correct long feet, a bit down in his pasterns. He moved very well from the side, OK coming and going. ResCC and Best Veteran.

Puppy Bitch (2)

Two very promising puppies.

1. Susu’s The Show Must Go On

At just six months old, this is a delightful bitch who is very well developed for her age. She has a lovely head and expression and an underjaw seldom seen. Well placed ears on a slightly rounded skull. Moderate short neck. Excellent forechest. I would have preferred longer feet. Deep and capacious body, firm topline, well set tail. In a very good puppy coat. Could settle a little into her hindquarters, but at her best still moved well from all angles, but threw it in at the end.

2. Tib-Sak Lay All Your Love On Me

This bitch came alive on the move where she is really quite outstanding. Standing still she looked somewhat low on legs. Excellent size head with slightly rounded skull and well set ears. I would not want a shorter muzzle. Strong neck, very well developed in her body, well set tail. Balanced angulation both ends. A very attractive, sound and energetic over from all angles.

Post Graduate Bitch (1)

1. Castafiore Isadora

A bitch with a lovely silhouette and ideal body proportions. She has a slightly rounded skull, well set ears. Could do with some more strength of muzzle and width of underjaw. Well shaped neck, moderately short. Very good layback of upper arm. Firm, straight topline, well set and caried tail. In a lovely coat of excellent structure, showing daylight under her. She moved with typical brisk movement and kept her balance very well on the move.

Limit Bitch (2)

1. Baarayotms Amala Anahata

Classical bitch with excellent proportions, well up on legs and with matching body length. She has a slightly rounded skull, ears could be somewhat higher set. Excellent width of muzzle and underjaw. Strong neck. Well angulated in front. Typical feet. Strong topline and well set tail. Fully bodied with depth and volume without sacrificing length of leg, but I would not like any more body than this. Well set and carried tail. She was a very sound and functional mover form all angles.

2. Sommerlyst’s Vajra Vanita

Another attractive bitch, solid black. She is feminine and has a typical skull and expression. Strong neck, well arched. Very good front angulation. Overly long hare feet. Firm topline covering plenty of ground, I would not want her any longer than this. Excellent coat quality. Another sound and functional mover from all angles.

Open Bitch (8,2)

1. Ch. Tulibell Bad Habits JW

Very much the type of Tibetan spaniel I am looking for. Very classical in type, outline and quality. She has a delightful head of ideal size with typical slightly rounded skull, well set and carried ears. Lovely expression from her well placed and shaped dark yes. Excellent width of muzzle, a good chin and above all a very snotty expression. Moderate neck, carrying her head proudly. Balanced angulation in front. Firm topline, of ideal length, excellent length of legs. Very good tailset. Moderate, balanced angulation both ends. She moved with presence and arrogance, clean coming and going. In a very good coat quality, not at all overcoated, but her coat rather enhancing her beautiful outline. CC & BOB.

2. Ch. Malia Pumpkin Pie by Susu JW

Another very attractive bitch, again with an intriguing attitude and arrogance about her. Very pleasing head proportions and expression, excellent muzzle and chin. Strong neck, well set into shoulder. Excellent front. Firm topline, well set and carried tail. In a full body with depth and volume, still with very good ground clearance. Another sound and functional mover. ResCC.
