London & South East Rottweiler Club

L.A.S.E.R.

Championship Show

3rd May 2026

Initially my thanks go to the committee of LASER for inviting me to judge and my stewards Linda and Tracy who worked well throughout the day. Many thanks to all who entered whether you were present or absent, your entry means a lot.

Whilst I found a few head types that gave that gorgeous calm gaze, once again it was not the majority of exhibits, some were too plain, others with ears not sitting right, eyes too close or of incorrect shape. I was a little concerned that I had a few exhibits with incorrect bites. Overall condition of the dogs was excellent, but a few lacked in this area which is a shame.

Veteran Dog (1)

1st Bateson’s CH UPEND BLADE – An impressive male who was turned out in lovely condition. He has a gorgeous head of correct proportions, dark almond shaped eye, medium ear set well and carried close to cheek which were muscled, skull of good width as was muzzle and jaw. Muscular neck of medium length. Top line firm which was maintained at all times. Stands on good feet. Rear has a good thickness and strength to first thigh with a nice bend to stifle with the strength continues through to firm hocks. Thick tail set which is carried well. Rib cage is well developed with good depth, and firm undercarriage. Would benefit from more angle in forequarters so that he can stand truer and have that touch more extension on the move. However, he uses all he has on the move where he put on a great performance pushing hard in the lineup, I had to short list him in my final run off for CC & RCC where he gave the younger males a challenge. Really pleased to award him BVIS.

Puppy Dog (4)

1st Brereton’s HEIDEVANS MARIUS PAVEL – A raw youngster who doesn’t show what he has when stood. Masculine head which is developing well, dark eye although a bit round, good ears set well on a broadening skull, muzzle has good width, and finished with a large black nose. Good length of leg and stands on nice feet. His neck is of medium length and blends onto a well-balanced front assembly, which gave him that extra extension in front on the move to win the class. Rear angles are pleasing and used well on the move, where firmness in hocks was seen. He did tire later in the day and was not quite as enthusiastic on the move. A nice youngster who I feel will take a good while to mature. Lovely temperament, presented in good condition and complimented with nice tan markings. BPD & BOSPIS

2nd Aspinall’s OLEARIA WESTFALEN THE ONE – Medium sized male with matching bone. Clean head with an almond eye, lovely ear set, and gives a nice expression. Front is pleasing, stands straight in front onto good feet. Nice body where rib cage is developing well and with good depth. Topline leads onto a nice croup and tail set. Well angulated rear angles with firm hocks. Presented in lovely condition.

3rd Monk & Jone’s OLEARIA WESTFALEN ONE LOVE

Junior Dog (4)

1st Fell’s TANEVEN DUTCH – Another nice young male who is pleasing to go over, not quite together but he shouldn’t be finished yet. Good head of correct proportions showing masculinity, broad muzzle with strength to jaw, dark flews. Neck length is good and leads onto a nicely balanced front. Body is developing but depth of chest is correct, undercarriage is correct. Topline level, nice width to loin. Good rear moderately angulated rear angles which enabled him to move true and fluent whilst displaying soundness and good extension. Finished on good feet.

2nd Moss’ CHANTAVORY’S WONDER BOY – Very mature male for his age. Head is masculine, good skull with attentive wrinkle, strong muzzle and jaw. Slightly smaller to medium ear carried well, dark round eye, would prefer less tan over nose. Good width to chest, with nice front angles, stands straight in front. Well developed ribs, top line leads to correct croup and tail set. Not quite as firm in the top line on the move. Strength in rear angles which he has ample of. Exuberant on the move driving well from his hindquarters.

3rd Bateson & Hoole’s UPMONT MAGNUS VER MAGNUSSON

Yearling Dog (2,1abs)

1st Fell’s TANEVEN DUTCH – as in Junior

Novice Dog (1)

1st Horton’s STEIGEN REGGY BEE – Compact male with good bone throughout. Head has correct proportions, with good ear set, lovely dark eye, strong muzzle with large nose. Round muscular neck. More angle is need in his forequarters as he has ample rear angles. Well developed rib cage of correct depth where it meets elbows. Broad and strong loin. Moved sound in all directions.

Post Graduate Dog (3, 2abs)

1st Sutcliffe’s BEREYDA MIDNIGHT EMPEROR – I really liked this boy in profile on the stance. His angles fore and aft could be observed easily, and putting hands on him confirmed this. Head is strong and masculine with good width to skull, ear carriage and set is correct, good cheek, broad muzzle with strong jaw, round dark eye which are rounder than I like. Neck of good width and length. Chest is developed and of good depth where it meets elbows. Strength in pastern and complimented with tight feet. Body is well developed with a nice spring to rib. Top line is lovely with no deviation and this is maintained on the move. I would like him to be that bit more toned throughout and more animated on the move.

Limit Dog (2) – The characters on these two dogs were fabulous and certainly put a smile on my face, however I don’t think their handlers would agree.

1st Goodban’s SEITTOR MAGIC SPELL WITH KELJAYGO – Medium in size, but has correct bone throughout. Presented in lovely firm condition throughout. His head is masculine and really pleasing when taken as a whole, it reminded me of some heads from years ago. He uses his well-placed ears to give a good expression. Lovely clean firm topline, rib cage has good depth and spring, width of chest is good, stands straight in front onto tight feet. Well angled in hindquarters with nice thickness to first thigh and second thigh continues in strength and muscle to a strong hock which he uses well to drive from on the move. He would benefit from a better return of upper arm to enable to reach that bit more on the move, however he uses all he has and displays soundness in all directions.

2nd Wilkinson’s ROTTKINSON DARK KNIGHT – A super well boned male, with a lovely masculine head which is in proportion, ears are medium and I feel are carried correct but sadly he never used them to show his expression, which is a shame as his almond shaped eyes are so dark and appealing. Stands straight in front, feet a little flat. Body is developed well with a lovely spring of rib and depth of chest, loin is of good width and firm, set of tail is a little rooty. Strength in hindquarters can be seen with a nice thickness to his thigh with stifles well bent. Hocks well angulated and firm. Moved sound in all directions.

Open Dog (4, 1abs)

1st Monk & Jones CH WESTFALEN OLEARIA TEAM SPIRIT JW – Medium sized male who is really eye catching in profile. Head is pleasing with good width to skull, lovely ear set and carriage, muzzle is strong and of a good length, almond shaped dark eye. I’d prefer a bit more width between eyes to enhance his expression. Muscular neck leads onto a well-balanced front where his lay of shoulder and return of upper arm enable him to reach well on the move. Stands straight in front showing good width to chest, firm pasterns and tight feet. Top line and undercarriage are firm; rib cage is well-sprung and roomy. Croup is broad and slightly angled, tail set and carriage good. Ample rear angles which he uses well on the move, where strength in hock can be seen. A very sound mover.

2nd Appasamy’s HANBAR JAPP – A raw male who I felt still had some maturing to do. Nice head which is proportioned well, dark almond shaped eye, lovely broad muzzle and large nose with large nostrils. He shows himself off better on the move and towards the end of the class he relaxed more and presented himself better as he can overstretch a little too much which can spoil his outlook. His front angles could be a bit better as he is a little up on pasterns. Body is developing, with rib cage being of a good depth and fair spring of rib. Top line is good and firm. Well off for rear angulation where muscle tone is evident. He moved sound and presented a pleasing picture in profile.

3rd Austen’s AUSRIE’S JABBA THE HUT

Tail set and carriage is correct. A positive mover in all directions, he uses all he has presenting a lovely outline at all times. CC, BOSIS and RBIS.

1st Headspeath’s JANTAVIA SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY JW – Well this girl impressed me in many ways.

She stands so natural and is handled well, where free standing is carried out at all times.

In stance she presents a good picture. Hindquarters are pleasing and have lovely muscle tone throughout, good turn of stifle. Hocks are strong and firm.

1st Hewitt & Francis’ RAUCHIGROTTS HAUS FINESSE – Overall a pleasing bitch, presented in good condition. Head is well proportioned, ears are carried well, she has the darkest of eyes, broad muzzle with a good stop. Strong muscular neck leads onto a nice front where the lay of shoulder is well laid back, and upper arm has a good return. Good width to chest, stands nicely onto tight feet. Rear angles require more thickness of thigh and strength in hock to give a cleaner move when going away. Nice youngster.

Post Graduate Bitch (7, 4abs)

1st Richards’ RUIZ RUBY RIOT – I really liked this bitch, loved her movement which showed both front and hindquarters working so well together. Her head has the correct proportions, dry skull, larger ear carried correct but would prefer them smaller to give the head a better expression, muzzle has a level top line and is finished with a large black nose with open nostrils, dark flews, and lovely dark almond shaped eye. Strong neck onto her well-placed shoulder, stands well in front, nice angle to pastern and tight feet. Body is mature with good ribcage which is broad and deep, lovely undercarriage, broad and strong in loin and firm flanks. Hindquarters are made up well where her correct turn of stifle enables her broad upper and lower thigh work well allowing her to drive off from her strong hocks. A sound mover who just missed out on my final short list.

2nd Pamplin’s JAQARY KISS FROM A ROSE – An honest bitch who is of medium size and bone. Nice head type, with good skull width, ears not carried as well as could be which detracts the expression, muzzle of correct length, dark flew and black nose, round brown eye. Medium length of neck, balanced front, nice width to chest, stands straight in front onto good feet. Rib cage is well sprung with good depth, croup a little more sloped than is required. Length of first thigh a tad short although of good width and tone, moderately angled stifle. Strong hocks, on the move whilst sound, in profile the shorter upper thigh restricts a full drive through and causes her loin to raise on the move. However, she does make the use of what she has to give a sound movement.

3rd Sutcliffe’s BEREYDA NEW MOON

Limit Bitch (7, 2abs)

1st Lambert’s SEITTOR VOODOO SPELL JW – Another lovely bitch that impressed me on the day.
