Leonberger Club Of Great Britain

Breed: Leonberger

Delighted to award my first set of CC’s in this beautiful breed. Such a lovely atmosphere around the

ring. Some beautiful dogs. Please remember this is a working breed, and as such the issues in some

movement today could be addressed by dogs being shown in a fitter condition. There is a clear need

in some for tighter feet and more adequate muscle tone. However, the welcoming inclusion of

novices is admirable and very welcome and should stand as a benchmark to which other breeds

should aspire. Very well organized with such a hard-working committee, in a genuinely supportive

environment. Another positive is the attendance by younger handlers and is very promising for the

breeds future.

VETERAN BITCH 4,0

1 st 6 Bailey’s Ch Skjaegaadens Riding the Cribbar (IMP NOR) JW

7yrs. Well-muscled and keeping her topline. Good bone and moved okay. Lovely make and shape.

Good croup. Nice in profile movement, but starting to show her age out and back. BVIB

2 nd 83 Westwood’s Ch Amathus Especially For You Jodolda JW

Almost 8yrs. Lovely in profile just unable to hold topline. However, still a lovely bitch with nice head

and expression. Nice feet.

3 rd 18 Buchwald’s PS I Love Your Nelly Brot Cysterskie (IMP POL)

Nicely angulated front and back. Nice croup. Just out moved by 1 & 2.

BABY PUPPY BITCH 1,0

1 st 67 Simpson’s Debbollinby Crafty Ideas for Simberger

5mths and what a sweetie! Lovely head and expression. Good bone and feet. Nice croup. Still typical

in puppy action but focussed. Well presented and very promising.

MINOR PUPPY BITCH 3,0

This was a tough class as all at varying stages in development.

1 st 43 Jones’ Bavaruki Cilantro

8mths. Good for balance and overall construction. Nice head and expression. A touch untidy going

away but handler moves too fast. Okay in croup. Nice in profile.

2 nd 76 Todd’s Bavaruki Sorrel at Melspury

8mths. Okay for balance and bone. Nice feet. Lovely head and expression. Showed glimpses of

correct movement for her young handler.

3 rd 4 Ansell & McKenzie’s Gisabosie Wee Lassie

8mths. Very aware of her surroundings today, but definitely one to watch as everything is there.

More practice by the handler would definitely assist her prospects.

PUPPY BITCH 2,0

1 st 21 Charwin’s Debbollinby Charbella


11mths. Lovely movement from this beautiful baby. Nice head and expression with correct ears.

Balanced and in proportion. In profile, her reach and drive, even at this young age, shows correct

gait. Just lovely; delighted to award BPIS

2 nd 53 Presswell’s Expressive Giorgia Grande Leonis at Aslanbek

10mths. Another promising puppy. Good croup. A touch up on leg at the moment; sufficient bone.

Nice head and expression. Covered the ground well in profile.

JUNIOR BITCH 8,1

1 st 72 Springel’s Linoscourt Orenda

16mths. Nice head and expression. Angulation is okay. Feet and bone are okay. Well muscled. Nice

in profile movement.

2 nd 42 Jones’ Bavaruki Beate’s Ziel

16mths. Could easily swap places with 1 on another day. Balanced and in proportion. Good bone,

and nice profile. Just very untidy going away, which cost her.

3 rd 81 Wescomb’s Lunahai Dancing in the Dark at Fieldshouse

Understated, but something I liked. Good feet and bone and flowed in profile.

YEARLING BITCH 3,1

1 st 78 Watson’s Lunahai Little Girl Blue

14mths. Well-muscled. Nice feminine head and expression. Good bone and croup. Nicely angulated

front and back. Lovely in profile.

2 nd 70 Sollar’s Bavaruki Beate’s Vision

17mths. Feminine head and expression. Good overall make and shape. A bit untidy behind. A

promising youngster but I feel she felt the nerves on the handler on the day.

GRADUATE BITCH 2,0

1 st 17 Buchwald’s Alfross Tulabo Deganwy

3 ½yrs. Balanced and in proportion. Very feminine head and expression. Lovely in profile. Good feet.

Would prefer a touch more substance, but outgoing and showy on the move, and whilst not

necessarily typical, she certainly catches the eye.

2 nd 55 Raynor’s Nexgen Bella Donna

4yrs. Well-muscled with good balanced angulation. A touch wide in front. Head isn’t her fortune but

she still has a lot to like.

POST GRADUATE BITCH 4,1

1 st 64 Sherwood’s Saljay Tgo Pink Cadillac

4yrs. Balanced overall, nice angulation, and well-muscled. Head isn’t her fortune, but she moved

well in profile, and nice to see correct bend of stifle.

2 nd 37 Jackson’s Leonmoor Mabel of Reveraki


3 ½yrs. Preferred her head, nice dark eye. Balanced but just unable to cover the ground like 1,

however, could possibly swap positions on another day.

3 rd 34 Hurren’s Debbollinby Kandy Floss at Shaleodust

Very wary of her surrounds. Nice croup. Could do better if she gained more confidence.

LIMIT BITCH 6,1

1 st 31 Heginbotham Sulandi Fallen Angel (IKC) JW

2 ½yrs. Impressive bitch, shown in first class condition. Lovely make and shape and excelled on the

move. Good croup, bone and muscle. Lovely bitch.

2 nd 32 Herod’s Leosrus Powers That Be

3yrs. Another stylish bitch, and although smaller in stature has bags of ‘look at me’ attitude. Lovely

in profile gait, and out and back. Just preferred the overall condition of 1.

3 rd 61 Sandalls Saljay Tgo Fields Of Fire

Although 3yrs old she is still quite immature in head. Good croup. Company was just too strong for

her today.

OPEN BITCH 9,1

A very strong class. All with correct head and expression and lovely in profile.

1 st 23 Charwin’s Debbollinby Thunder Kiss

3 ½yrs. Out of coat but that just showed off her obvious quality in make and shape. Super sound, out

and back. Good croup. Nice feet and bone. Correct angulated and lovely in profile. BCC

2 nd 26 Cole’s Ch Simden Born to Boogie JW

2yrs. Again, another ‘naked’ girl but good for bone and profile movement. Just not so together as 1

on the day. RBCC

19mths. Held his topline well on the move. Lovely in profile. Masculine head and expression.

Balanced angulation front and back. Nice feet and bone. Good croup. An excellent prospect that I

strongly considered for the RDCC.

2 nd 66 Simmonds’ Skjaergaardens Dance Monkey Dance JW (IMP NOR)

15mths. Another lovely dog, just hadn’t quite the strength in topline of 1, but hopefully this will

come with age. Super on the move, and look forward to watching his progress with interest.

3 rd 56 Reader’s Cleon Bowser JW

14mths. Nice head and expression, nice dark eye. Easy profile mover.

3 rd 58 Roe’s Amazing Lord of the Rings Ginger Heaven at Parowhite (IMP POL)

17mths. Nice, understated dog. Easy mover, and when the brain cell clicks in he will become one to

watch. Could swap places with 2 on another day.

head.


2 nd 12 Bell’s Cleon Canis Giganotos

2 ½yrs Balanced and proportion. Nice in profile. Lovely dark eye. Good bone and feet. His placing will

improve, if, when he gets it together on the move – just needs the other brain cell to click in…
