UTILITY GROUP


G1 Lee-Morris’ Ch. Michandy It’s Showtime at Pupstar JW. Black Miniature Poodle male, lovely long well chiselled headpiece this young dog has, good chin, moderate stop, correct dark almond shaped eyes, really nice to go over in front, straight forelegs, compact tight feet and legs nicely under his body, good ribbing, short back, high set tail which is carried totally correct, lovely dense harsh coat, he has moderate rear angulation to him, in super condition, where he comes alive is on the move, holds his shape and really lovely carriage to him, real nice type.


G2 Davies’ Ch. Waterley Heart Breaker. Tibetan Terrier, really on form today, previously judged this dog in the breed and awarded him a CC, he is such a lovely shape, masculine head, equal head proportions, he has a correct medium neck, I really liked his proportions, up on leg, short back, firm top-line with a correct high set tail, has some fairly large feet, super coat, on the move he holds his shape like the Miniature does, smooth effortless stride, places his feet well, again like one in super condition.


G3 McLachlan/Morrison’s Franhowil Luv or Hate Me. A lovely cobby Schipperke bitch, really on her toes the whole time, lovely foxy like expression to her, flat skull, little stop, moderate muzzle length but is not weak, has some fill under her eyes, expressive oval dark eye to her, neat ears, correct short neck, compact body, liked hindquarters to her, harsh textured coat with correct mane and has some good culottes, on the move very true with a brisk stride, really eye-catching, lots to like about her.


G4 Pine-Haynes/Harris’ Vicmar’s Press Play. Standard Poodle bitch, like my other winners really nice to go over, super well made front to her, legs nicely under her body, has some forechest, good ribbing, short back, she has good length to her head, moderate stop, has some chin, not too wide in skull, a real intelligent look to her with her dark almond eyes, where she is very exciting is on the move, she has super reach and drive with good foot placement, really covers the group, lots to like about her, still young and actually will improve more with time, quality bitch.
