Japanese Chin

Dogs

Minor Puppy

1: BEADLING, Mrs C Sharlarna Eclipse, very promising 6-month-old b/w with a delightful head and expression. Super for size and shape, good topline and well balanced all through. Moved out on the right lines and kept his outline.

2: PEARSON, Ms I Sharlarna Pretty Boy Floyd At Ereste's, slightly bigger than the winner and not the head and expression. He has a decent topline and a coat of good texture, sound on the move and a delightful attitude.

3: FLYNN, Mrs Linda A Sharlarna Rumour Has It At Linjato

Puppy

1: CRANE, Mrs L Cranvarl's Back In Black, 9-month-old b/w with a super expression. Balanced in outline and a good topline, he kept his outline in profile and was sound out and back.

2: NEWBERY, Miss B Sharlarna Brandy Blaze, r/w of 9-month-old and full of mischief. He pleases for head and is balanced in outline, not quite as precise on the out and back today but time is on his side. Excellent coat for texture.

3: BLAIR, Mrs G Bellflows Ichikawa

Junior

1: FLYNN, Mrs Linda A Sharlarna Philanderer At Linjato, b/w of type and decent for size, in full coat of the correct texture. Pleasing head and sound on the move where he puts his feet in the right place.

2: POTTS, Mr R & Mrs J Somergemz Highland Laddie For Adreeam, b/w going through a bit of a teenage stage at the moment. His head and expression please but he just needs to settle in topline and he’ll be away.

Post Graduate

1: SCHEMEL, Dr A Bentwood Wagamappa Aike, b/w who won the class on profile action. Decent head and expression, correct shape and holds his topline. Could just do with the odd pound on him.

2: BAILEY, Mrs Dorothy May Bentwood Wagamappa Suni At Aldoricka, close up and another who pleases for type and shape. Liked his head and expression but not quite the front of the winner today.

3: FLEETWOOD, Mrs B Abbeyleigh Man On A Mission

Limit

1; OATRIDGE, Mrs C M & GROGAN, Mr Lee & IRVINE, Dr Ro Dalehouse Royal Sceptre. I really liked this impressive b/w boy who is full of type and style. He has a very good head with the true look of astonishment. Perfectly set and carried ears, well cushioned muzzle and wide-open nostrils. Proud neck leading to super forehand and a strong topline. He is balanced behind and carries himself so well on the move. Yes, he is top size, but he is so typical all through. Should easily title. CC

2: MARTIN, Ms P Cranvarl Student Prince JW, b/w who is close up and impresses in profile, in wonderful coat and condition and moved out well.

3: TONG, Miss Jayne Cranvarl The Red King Of Jakconas

Open

1: QUINN, Mrs T & Mr A Ch Sharlarna Swindler JW, b/w who I have judged before having given him the puppy group at Leeds a few years ago and my opinion of him is still high as he is very typical with a delightful head and expression. Ideal size and well made all through with proud carriage. Sound on the out and back just not the profile of the limit dog today. Very worthy of his title RCC

2: LINDSAY, Miss L Ch Cranvarl Roger At Anjuli JW, r/w who has a very impressive outline and is beautifully presented. In full coat of excellent texture, would prefer slightly more open nostrils but he is sound on the move and stylish in profile.

3: BLAIR, Mrs G Sharlarna's Chaos At Bellflows

Bitches

Minor Puppy

1: LINDSAY, Miss L Anjuli Bunny, just loved this gorgeous b/w, only 6-month-old but who is very forward for her age. Absolutely delightful head and expression, superb to go over on the table and in wonderful condition. She has a wonderful forehand and topline. Already a consummate show girl and as sound as a pound. Her future is most definitely assured. BP and RCC

2” HOLLAND-SMITH, Mrs Susan Sharlarna Constance For Kirdanchi, close up and full of type, delightful for expression and strong topline and tailset. Liked her in profile as she has lift in front, just slightly erratic on the out and back. But another with a future.

3: PEARCE, Ms Tina Marguerita & HANN, Ms S Rakuchin Helen Bach

Puppy

1: CRANE, Mrs L Cranvarl's Back To Black, 9-month-old and good for size. In excellent coat. Alert expression and in good condition. Moved out well.

Junior

1: LEACH, Mrs Susan & LEACH, Mr M Sharlarna's Nipantuck, decent b/w bitch of type and soundness. Won the class on her hind action and she pleases in profile. Decent for coat texture and she pleases in expression.

2: BURNS, Miss Tracy Adreeam Tootie Frootie, very pretty b/w who has a super expression and is good for neck into topline, today she faltered slightly going away and this was the decider.

3: GULLON, Mr C J Adreeam Alice Jw

Post graduate

1: CONSTABLE, Mrs M Sharlarna Enchanting, b/w who is good for size and sound to go over, has a decent expression, good neck into strong topline. Coat of correct texture.

2: NEWBERY, Miss B Sharlarna Symphony, real little rocket on the move and she holds her outline in profile, she could be better in front as she is a tad erratic coming towards you, she is in good condition and has the most endearing temperament. Liked her expression too.

3: STREEK, Mrs Virginia Sharlarna Harmony At Sherazade

Limit

1: LINDSAY, Miss L Somergemz I Own Her At Anjuli, b/w of type and good for size and sound on the move. In excellent condition and good for coat. Super on the table with little to change.

2: BRADLEY, Miss Louise Jayne Sharlarna All Eyes On Me JW, eye-catching b/w in profile and her coat is a wonderful texture. Liked her in profile and she really uses herself, just a smidge untidy coming toward me today.

3: SCHEMEL, Dr A Bentwood Iki Ningyo

Open

1: OATRIDGE, Mrs C M & GROGAN, Mr Lee & IRVINE, Dr Ro Dalehouse Royal Secret. Oh wow, this charming b/w is special. For me the complete package today with her gorgeous outline and perfect coat. She is a wonderful size and in perfect body condition. Her head and expression were a delight. She carried her head proudly on a strong neck. Super forehand and completely balanced behind. Strong topline and well set and carried tail. On the move she is so very sound and carries herself with importance. Oh so typical all through. I loved her. CC and BOB. In the group she gained a few admirers as she entered the ring, but sadly something upset her later on. Such a shame.

2: GROGAN, Mr Lee & IRVINE, Dr Ross Ir Ch Vanistica Irma Gerd, b/w good for size and shape, excellent to go over on the table, being balanced all through. Decent head for size and nostrils and she has well placed and carried ears. Not quite the expression of the winner today. She was very sound on the move and put her feet in the right place. In super condition.

3: QUINN, Mrs T & Mr A Ch Harlouville Uptown Girl JW
