Miss L Tarabad (Khatibi)
My
thanks to the Committee for inviting me to award CC’s in the breed for the
first time. Although I’m no specialist I have had the pleasure of living with TT’s
and have a great fondness for the breed so I thoroughly enjoyed my appointment and
even though the entry wasn’t numerically strong I was very pleased with my
winners.

1st:
496 PETTIT, Miss M T Rogspa's Got Yer Back. Free moving baby who doesn’t want
to grow on and has plenty of maturing to do in body. Firm topline and well set
and carried tail. Nice head and expression with dark eyes and strong muzzle.
Carries himself well in profile and has a delightful attitude.
2nd:
488 LAFFLING, Mrs E A Taxiki Causin' Chaos. A little smaller but looking a
touch longer at present so didn’t have the balance of 1. Good angulation in
front and behind, good substance and bone, not quite as settled on the move so
not holding his outline as well in profile but was better out and back than 1. A
promising baby just needs some time to get it together!

1st:
484 JOHNSTON, Mrs Michele Araki Justice Once. Masculine youngster who is
already big enough with good substance and bone for his size and carrying
plenty of good quality coat. Soundly constructed with good spring of rib, a
fraction long in loin, good topline, tail and feet. Strong head with lovely
dark eyes, strong jaw and typical expression. Covered the ground well. Bpd.

1st:
502 THAIN, Mrs S Karamyst Flashlight. Sturdily
built b/w with strong head, correct length of muzzle and strong jaw giving a
typical expression. Enough neck, firm topline with tail set and carried
correctly, still needs to finish maturing in body, good bone for size and large
flat feet. Moved freely, could be stronger behind.

1st:
494 PEDIANI, Mrs L Araki Yubetcha JW.
Easy winner here and I would have happily signed a green card for him.
Immaculately presented white coat and contrasting dense black pigmentation,
great for size and shape, maturing well for his age but I’m sure the best is
yet to come. Well constructed throughout
with good front and rear assembly, firm topline, correct length of leg and body
giving a balanced, square outline that very few of the males had. Lovely head
and expression, free and accurate on the move holding his outline firm. He was
so close to taking the RCC but just didn’t move as well in the challenge, I
have no doubt he will gain his title with the usual luck.
2nd:
503 TORLAY, Mrs Nyree Smart Dezine. Free moving, a little long in body for
ideal balance but holds his topline firm and carries his tail correctly. Well
sprung ribs, good bone and carrying plenty of well presented coat. Lovely temperament.
3rd:
477 ARMSTRONG, Mr Colin Stewart & HOGG, Mr James Jam Yang Khor Sangmo La

1st:
499 RUDDERHAM, Mrs D Dejaru Masquerade JW. Very smart lovely sized black dog in
super coat and condition, sturdy and well muscled with good bone and feet.
Lovely head and resolute expression, dark eyes, strong muzzle and jaw and
plenty of furnishings. Moved well in all directions, considered him in the
challenge.
2nd:
501 SINCLAIR, Mrs A Araki Shanastra. Slightly
larger, squarely built with correct topline and tail carriage and carrying a
good coat. Masculine head with dark round eye, balanced length of muzzle and
strong jaw. Moved happily.
OD (5
Entries) Abs: 0 Best class of the day.
1st:
479 DAVIES, Mr G Ch Waterley Heart Breaker. This eyecatching b/w dog headed the
class with some to spare. Presented in immaculate condition and carrying
himself with an air of importance, looking at me with such a arrogant expression
I just couldn’t resist! Square and sturdy with the correct balance of leg to
body, well sprung ribs, short strong loin and correctly constructed rear. Firm
topline with tail set high and carried well over his back, good bone and flat
feet. Well furnished strong, masculine head with correct length of muzzle and
strong jaw. His movement in profile couldn’t be matched, free and effortless
with head held proudly topline firm and covering the ground with a lovely length
of stride. I had no hesitation in awarding him the DCC & BOB.
2nd:
478 COOPER, Mrs L Ch Araki Justa Boot Perfect. This black boy didn’t
immediately catch the eye but on closer inspection there is lots to like under
his full coat. Square, sturdy and presenting a typically balanced outline in
profile. Typical tibetan expression from his dark eyes and correctly
proportioned head. Could have a little more chest and didn’t hold his outline
quite as well as 1 on the move but did more than enough to take 2nd
here and when I called him back to challenge for the RCC his maturity, balance
and sound, positive movement gave him the edge over the younger males. RDCC

proportions and typical balance, good neck, balanced front and rear angulation,
firm topline and super tail carriage. Strong
yet feminine head with lovely eyes and expression, good muzzle and strong jaw.
Moved with purpose and accuracy holding herself proudly as she circled the
ring. Handled and presented to an advantage and with a super attitude. BP.

486 KING, Miss Karen Karamyst Showstopper. See MPB.
2nd:
480 DAVIES, Mr G Waterley Dream Dedication. Small, feminine baby who was
presented to perfection. Pretty head of medium length but could be stronger in
foreface. Ample reach of neck, well
sprung ribs, strong loin, good substance and bone for size with tail set and
carried correctly. Moved freely.

1st:
491 MARLEY, Ms G & THIRLWELL, Mr P Myrlea Just An Illusion. Top quality youngster
who, although still has maturing to do, could not be denied the CC in this
company. Spot on for size and shape, totally unexaggerated and typically
balanced with such a lovely head and expression, feminine and correctly
proportioned with round eyes, marked stop, strong jaw and resolute expression.
Soundly constructed with good front and rear angulation, good chest and ribbing
for age, strong loin and well muscled rear. Moved steadily with such accuracy,
never putting a foot wrong to take a well deserved CC. I’m sure when she’s
fully mature and in full coat she will be even more impressive and will no
doubt attract many more admirers. BCC, BOS, Best Junior
2nd:
498 RITCHIE, Mrs Jane Araki The Devil's Candy.
Sturdily built g/s/w who is a little short in leg and long in loin for
balance. Sweet face and pleasing expression with nice eyes and dense
pigment. Moving well in profile maintaining
a level topline.
PGB (4 Entries) Abs: 0
1st:
485 KING, Miss Karen Karamyst Love Actually JW. Not in her best coat but had
nothing to hide. Super chest and ribbing, strong loin, level topline with super
tailset and carriage. Correctly balanced length of leg and body giving the typical
square outline with ample reach of neck and good substance for size. Lovely
head and expression, eyes could be a touch darker. Impressive movement in
profile covering the ground well whilst maintaining her outline.
2nd:
495 PETTIT, Miss M T Rogspa Sunbeam. One I judged as a young puppy and it’s
nice to see how well she has matured. Lovely substance, bone and feet, squarely
built with ample reach of neck, could be better angulated in front. Well ribbed
back to strong loin and well constructed rear. Appealing head type with such a
typical tibetan expression. Moved happily.
3rd:
483 JOHNSTON, Mrs Michele Routenburn Freydis

1st:
482 HARGREAVES, Mrs J A Karamyst Time To Shine With Islantic. Easy winner here
and I thought could be a contender for higher honours but unfortunately she
just didn’t want to move as well when she returned to the challenge. Another
from this breeder that presents a very nicely balanced, square outline with
plenty of substance for size, good bone and flat feet. Feminine head with
lovely expression, moving well looking particularly good in profile.
2nd:
497 RITCHIE, Mrs Jane Dudleylarch Spend A Penny. Very sweet bitch who went better as she
relaxed. Good for size, sturdy and well off for bone, just a little longer than
ideal and could have more angulation in front. Pleasing head shape and
expression. Handled well and carrying plenty of well presented coat. Moved soundly.

1st:
490 MARLEY, Ms G & THIRLWELL, Mr P Ch Myrlea Martha Reeves. Standing alone
but could have won in any competition.
Fully mature and in beautiful coat this black girl is balanced and unexaggerated
and once you get your hands on her you can appreciate just how nice she is.
Lovely for size and balance, square and sturdy with good front and rear assembly,
good bone and feet, well ribbed back to short loin, well muscled rear and well
set and carried tail. Gorgeous head and expression, well furnished and such a lovely
tibetan expression. Moved so well in the class and I thought she may have been
my cc winner but with a change of handler she returned to the challenge and
just didn’t go as well whilst her young kennel mate stepped it up a gear and so
she had to settle for the RBCC.

1st:
483 JOHNSTON, Mrs Michele Routenburn Freydis.
Previously 3rd PG. Too
long for ideal balance but she couldn’t
be matched on the move covering the ground easily and accurately whilst
maintaining her topline and carrying her tail well over her back. Ultra
feminine head of medium length. So attentive to her handler and presented in
lovely condition,
2nd:
498 RITCHIE, Mrs Jane Araki The Devil's Candy
