Miniature Schnauzer

Dogs

Puppy

1: LOWTON-HUMPHRIES, Mr Stephen & LOWTON-HUMPHRIES, M Lumillion Crazy In Love, super smart and full of type he has a glorious head and expression, neat ears used at all times. Compact and robust all through with good bone and feet. Correct topline and the perfect tail. Champion quality for sure. BP

2: LOWTON-HUMPHRIES, Mr Stephen & LOWTON-HUMPHRIES, M Lumillion Love Struck, very similar in type and has the correct outline. He too is robust all through, just not quite the head of the winner. Moved out smartly holding his outline.

3: GREAKEN, Miss L K Lumillion Tough Love

Junior

1: WOODS, Misses R & L Penbro Carbon Copy, imposing in outline and he has wonderful carriage and will always take the eye in profile. Excellent head and expression, strong neck leading into correct topline. Ribbing well back, just could do with a little more across the loin atm. Presented masterfully. His title is not far off, and I will not disagree when it does. Just not the finish of the Open winner today. RCC

Post Graduate

1: BEE, Mr Richard Jokerlands Star Quality, good for size he has a coat of good texture and colour. Head ok but his ears are a smidge big, correct topline. On the move his mind was elsewhere and he tended to throw himself on the out and back.

Limit

1: WOODS, Misses R & L Penbro Walking On Sunshine, excellent size and robust through. Pleasing expression and won the class on front assembly. Well ribbed and has the correct topline. Compact and smart,

2: SEARSON, Mrs T J Traphens Colossus, decent head and expression and he is a good colour with the correct texture coat. Not quite the front of the winner and not as compact. Uses himself well in profile and kept his outline.

Open

1: BRAITHWAITE, Mr Thomas Ch Wellingley Won For The Road, super smart and a wonderful outline. This boy was bang on form today and was the complete package. He is presented to perfection and did not put a foot wrong. All male with a wonderful head and expression. Super ears which he uses at all times. Strong neck through to excellent forehand and the correct topline and tail set. Compact and robust, on this form he is hard to beat. CC & BOB and delighted to see him win the group.

2: BELL, Miss W J & BURNS, Mrs Laura Ch Glockens Let It Be Jw, slightly different in type with not quite the balance of leg of the winner. He does have a fabulous tail carriage and the most wonderful colour. Robust in body with a super ribbing and topline. Presented to perfection. Just slightly short stepping today and side winded a smidge and this was the decider.

Bitches

Veteran

1: WHITCOMBE, Mrs Gabrielle Paigeturner Lily The Pink, 7 years old black and throughly enjoying her day. A tad on the plump side but she stepped out well and has a super temperament.

Minor puppy

1: COLLINS, Miss Roselle Jansad Pretty Amazing Grace, 6-month-old and at her first show and a very smart job she did too. Lovely for size, good colour and coat coming in well. Correct topline and stepped out well. Has promise.

Puppy

1: ROBERTSON, Miss Kate & ROBERTSON, Mrs Linda Kavacay Love Story, 10-month-old on the smaller side but won class on front assembly and ribbing. Moved out well.

2: GRAHAM, Mrs Sandra Nikisan Chill Your Beans, nearly a year old and presents an imposing outline. Not quite the front of the winner but lots to like and they will change places on more than one occasion.

Junior

1: SANDERS, Miss Kirsty & SANDERS, Mrs Vivien Zakmayo Spill The Tea, cracking bitch so full of type, gorgeous head and expression, wonderful for rib and topline, excellent coat and texture. Super smart of the move putting on a sound and stylish performance. CC and many more will follow.

2: HOUCHIN, Miss H O & HOUCHIN, Mr Mark & HOUCHIN, Mr Zakmayo One Sip At A Time With Barnsdale, close up and similar in type, very well-presented coat of good texture and colour. Just not quite the forehand of the winner. moved out smartly.

Limit

1: HOOD, Mrs J Jastalla Swingtime, very smart young bitch of obvious quality and type. Beautiful head and expression and presented extremely well. Good for neck into topline and a super tail. Moved out smartly, if not a tad enthusiastic at times but kept her outline.

2: SEARSON, Mrs T J Traphens Rogue, pleasing for type and balance, not quite the flow of outline of the winner but smart on the move putting her feet in the right place. Very well presented.

3: YOUNG, Mrs Clare Nostaw Penelope Pitstop

Open

1: REEVE, Mrs A Ch Deneens Fig Tart, super smart and wonderful for outline. Head and expression are delightful, and she is compact and robust yet screams femininity. Sound and stylish on the move. In the challenge she rushed a little and in doing so faltered slightly in front tipping the decision in favour of the junior. RCC

2: WOODS, Misses R & L Ch Penbro Talk Of The Town, super for shape and she too has great carriage and a wonderful topline. Well ribbed and sturdy all through. Not quite the finish in coat of the winner today.
