Leonberger Club Of Great Britain
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.

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

and expression. Nice feet.

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.

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

on the day. RBCC

watch. Could swap places with 2 on another day.

head.
2 nd 12 Bell’s Cleon Canis Giganotos
