Driffield Championship Dog Show

My thanks to the exhibitors for such a lovely entry without CC’s 

SBD (2) 1 ROPER Louise Cardigan Bay a sturdy looking lad with just about enough bone but quite pleasing in outline, head could be a little stronger for a male but he has a good neck and excellent topline over a good length of body, presented in good coat strode out soundly around the ring, presented in wonderful condition and not looking his age at all 2 MANSON Smokey Iz Bryshtunovogo Kraju Under Titantails 12mth r/w d whose head I preferred I preferred and there is still more to come for sure, as with the winner he has just enough bone for his sex, he has ample neck but still needs to develop a little more in front. He goes forward with confidence but is a little loose in elbow.

JD (2) 1 IRVING Born To Be Your Unicum With Twinan ( Imp Hun) a sturdy and stylish youngster with a super head and expression, for his age he is well developed in the fore with a good depth of chest, excellent length of body and firm topline, he is nicely angulated in the rear and moves out easily and smoothly with good drive and minimal foot lift, one with a very bright future no doubt 2 Smokey Iz Bryshtunovogo Kraju Under Titantails (see 2nd in SB)

1 and BD, BOB IRVING & TREFAN-TöRöK, Mrs A Multi Ch Craigycor Golden Ticket By Twinan JW (IKC) I make no excuses for awarding this dog BD and BOB, he was my group winner at Bournemouth and for me he epitomises the breed standard, he is sturdy, smart and balanced all through with a masculine head and well set eyes, well developed in front with a good lay of shoulder, close fitting elbows, good depth of chest and a strong topline. He moves out freely and accurately with a good length of stride.

2 and RBD HULSE & ADAMS Babaneira Kensington At Fablecroft ShCEx this sturdy looking d was presented in very good coat and makes a pleasing outline which immediately appealed, his head whilst wedge shape could have a fraction more width to skull, body is strong and of moderate length with a good depth to chest and well developed forechest, ppropels himelf forward well but not quite the attitude of the winner today

SBB (4,1) 1 and BSB SMITH Twinan Roses Are Red With Yecartracey I really fell for this beautiful pup, I thought her movement was outstanding for such a youngster, her head is a most attractive wedge shape with well placed eyes and correct bite, she has ample length of neck with moderate length of body and good depth of chest for her age, stifles are well bent and hocks strong and on the move she goes forward smoothly with excellent rear action. Later on she beat her litter sister to take BPIB. My only criticism, which is not a criticism of the dog is that her handler could make more of her on the stack to really emphasise her beautiful shape and I’m sure once their confidence together grows, this girl could do a lot of winning. 2 KAVINSKY Voodannyn Crimson Gold Fox an attractive and feminine girl with a good head and well used ears, not the bone or substance of the winner but holds a firm topline and is well angulated in front and behind moving out soundly around the ring

VB (1) 1 HOLLINGWORTH Ryslip Dolly Daydream At Highashes 7 yr sable/white b who was presented in good coat and overall condition, she has a well proportioned head with lovely dark eye and well st slightly rounded ears, plenty of neck and well placed shoulders, she is well developed in the fore with depth to chest and a firm topline, maybe carrying an extra Ib or two but still moving out very well.

MPB (4) 1 and BPB, BPIB SMITH, Mrs Tracey Maria Twinan Roses Are Red With Yecartracey (See SBB) 2 IRVING Twinan Cherry Picker this girl is the litter sister to the winner and also has so much to like, she has a lovely wedge head and keen expression and makes a beautiful profile stacking up nicely to show off a good length of neck, firm topline and strong well angulated quarters, I just thought the winner was a tad stronger in rear movement today but ive no doubts they will continue to change places. 3 BROWN & BROWN, Mr Graham Calwinii's Snow White

JB (2,1) 1 SMITH Twinan Roses Are Red With Yecartracey

PGB (5,1) 1 Coes Lucy In The Sky With Crommore a tri girl of just 18 months with a pretty head and lovely expression, strong neck, well laid shoulders and standing on amply boned forelegs and strong oval, she could still develop little more in cheat and forechest but I liked her easy and free movement where she displayed a true action all ways. 2 LEDGAR, Mrs Carolyn Jasrolyn Dora The Explorer, I liked the head on this 18 mth b and she has a super expression coming from her well shaped eyes, good length of neck and well placed shoulders but elbows could be held a fraction closer, firm topline and well angulated hindquarters, a sound mover but not quite as smooth as the winner 3 Voodannyn Crimson Gold Fox

LB (2) 1 and BB HOLLINGWORTH, Mrs Rachel Highashes Hits The Spot JW I was told afterwards that I gave this girl a puppy group last year and clearly I can still appreciate her qualities, her head is beautifully feminine and a good wedge shape with well set eyes giving an alert expression, she is balanced in front and rear angulation with a well developed ribcage and good width and depth to her chest, she is firm enough in topline that it doesn’t detract from the overall picture and carries herself well in motion showing plenty of energy whilst displaying a smooth and easy sidegait. 2 ROPER, Ms Louise Twinan Raise Your Game JW, rising 3 this girl has a good skull shape with width between the ears and a proportionate length of muzzle with well shaped eyes giving an appealing expression, she is well developed in front with a good depth of chest but is of slightly heavier build than the winner which tended to pull her topline down, and unfortunately this did not correct itself on the move.

OB (2) 1 and RBB RUTHERFORD Twinan Dance To The Beat JW A beautifully presented girl with a balanced outline and showing great rapport with her handler, rather elegant all through but with still with good bone, she has a lovely head with medium sized well placed ears used to enhance her expression, a good length of neck and excellent front and feet, on the stack she has a perfect topline and well bent stifles and moves out easily and freely round the ring holding her shape. 2 BROWN & BROWN Calwinii's Valentina Rose Jw Shcex Osw 5 yr old with pently of bone and substance, good front and excellent feet , moderate length of body with depth to chest and a firm level topline, sound enough on the move but lacking a little in animation.
