Correction to WEIMARANER  PUPPY CLASS - 1st NAME Should have read THEONDALE HOPEFUL HEART

Weimaraner

The high quality of the exhibits under me on this day made my decisions challenging, and I am confident that placings in these classes will vary many times throughout the dogs' careers.

Puppy - 8,4

1st - DOBBS, THEONDALE HOPEFUL HEART (BP & PG4)

This puppy is a true standout, possessing a charismatic presence that immediately draws attention. He is a substantial dog yet maintains excellent overall balance. His handsome head features lovely eyes and a wonderful expression, with good ear length, though a slightly shorter foreface would be preferred. Structurally, he boasts good fore and aft angulation, a deep chest, well-sprung ribs, a firm topline, and a correct tuck-up and tail set. He covered the ground with impressive reach and drive, holding his tail well. I will certainly be keeping a keen eye on the future development of this promising dog.

2nd - MERCURI, WEIPOWA LICENSE TO SPY

This male, a different type from the winner, is masculine throughout but currently lacks the balance of the first-place dog. I preferred his head, which, despite a more alert expression, had proportions closer to the breed standard. He features a strong, muscular neck, deep chest, strong bone, good rib spring, and correct tuck-up, though he was shorter in the loin than the winner. His movement was good once he settled.

3rd - RODGERS, MINSTERGATE CELEBRATION

Reserve - PILATOVA, SABSKY SPILBERK

SY - 5,3

1st - LONGBOTTOM, GUNALT WINGMAN (BOB & GRP 2).

This outstanding male is mature for his age, presenting as an exceptional example of the breed with nothing exaggerated. He boasts strong bone, excellent muscle tone, and a beautiful head and expression. His conformation is excellent, featuring a strong, firm neck, well-laid shoulders, deep chest, well-sprung ribs, correct body length, a firm topline, and strong hindquarters. He moved effortlessly, though the only minor critique was a preference for a slightly quicker pace.

2nd - DOBBS, THEONDALE HIGH HOPES

Limit - 5,1

1st - JENNINGS, WALLAROO ROMEO JW

This upstanding male is coming into his own, presenting with a masculine head and a mischievous expression. He has a good forechest, but his ribs still need to spring fully. He is soundly constructed with a good tuck-up, strong hindquarters, correct bend of stifle, and well-let-down hocks. He won this class on his togetherness on the move, as he truly strode out and owned the ring despite him being a bit proud of his tail, I couldn’t deny him the class.

2nd - MOORE, THEONDALE MAVE THE RAVE AT CAVALMIST

This feminine bitch was giving her handler a hard time today. She has a pretty head with a soft expression and is clean in the neck and shoulders; however, the handler should ensure she does not shorten her neck into her shoulders. She exhibits good depth from withers to brisket, ample forechest, well-sprung ribs, and a good length of body with sufficient tuck-up. She lacked the strength in the rear of the class winner. Her movement was initially erratic but settled to cover the ground with ease.

3rd - PILATOVA, SABSKY SASANKA

Reserve - DAVIES-BROWN, GUNALT POLISHED AT WYSTRY

Open - 5,1

1st - DOBBS, KALIMOR SUMMA LOVE JW

A feminine bitch of compact size, presented in good bone and condition. She has an elegant head with a beautiful expression. She tends to lean back and compromise her topline. She has a deep chest, well-sprung ribs, and ample angulation, which she showcased in movement, covering the ground effortlessly and with great enthusiasm.

2nd - PORTER-MANNING & PORTER, WALLAROO KYNKI BOOTZ JW

This is a male I greatly admire, though he was not presenting himself to his full advantage today. He possesses a handsome head with correct proportions and a truly gentle expression, set on a beautiful neck and shoulders. He is well-boned, stands on straight forelegs, and has ample depth of chest with a good spring of rib. He appeared somewhat high in the rear and, like others, carried his tail proudly. Despite this, he moved out well across the ring.

3rd - PILATOVA, SABSKY SVRATKA JW

Reserve - BROWN & FILBY, DESJIEM BILLY DONT BE A HERO JW
