Tibetan Terrier

Judge: 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.

 

MPD (3 Entries) Abs: 1
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 Mani Cum Colji (imp Deu) (


LD (2 Entries) Abs: 0
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.

Very confident baby of lovely 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.

1st: 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.


 JB (2 Entries) Abs: 0
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.

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


 LB (2 Entries) Abs: 0
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
