DARLINGTON PUGS

Thank you to my competent steward who kept things on track and to the exhibitors for the sporting way you accepted my placings. Overall I found the breed to be in good health, two or three were carrying a bit too much weight, a couple of heavier over nose wrinkles and one raspy breathing.

VD 3(1). 1. Hindles CH RHODENASH WILDEST DREAMS AT READSTONE. A stately 7 year old. Short and compact, with lovely balance, excellent head and expression. He moved with purpose and true coming and going. BV

2. Mitchells CH PUGALICIUOS HUFFLEPUFF AT SNUGGLEPUG. In great shape for his 9 years. Well ribbed and level topline. Large head and good definition. Moved freely with his legs well under. Close up to 1.

YD 5(0). This was a class strong on quality. I. Linnett’s ROXMARR PIMMS ROYALE FOR CONQUELL.

Beautiful head with lovely wrinkling, and a dark eye and the desired solicitous expression. He moved with a true action both coming and going.

OD 11(0). What a class this was! I had to do a short list and even then most could change places on another day, and I had to come down to some fine points to make my decisions.

1.Trueloves CH NIJACPUGS HOT AS HELL . A handsome silver fawn of outstanding breed type demonstrating “much in little”. Firmly knit in hard body condition, nothing exaggerated. He moved as he looked as though he would, a lesson in the gait described in the standard. Beautiful head, wrinkling and black points, dark eyes and solicitous expression. Full of charm and dignity. CC &BOB

2.Trueloves CH NIJACPUGS HOT AND BOTHERED. Another well constructed and balanced individual built on similar lines to 1. Only afterwards did I discover that they are brothers!

Beautiful head and expression and clarity between the black points and the fawn coat. He too moved correctly and with a slight roll. Full of charm and lively intelligence.

3. Farnworth’s JUDAMIE EL ST JOHN BY ROPANELIE

VB 3(1) Two lovely 8 year olds clearly both enjoying a day out.

1. Storey’s CH RHODENASH KOTTEN KOPY. Lovely square outline, level back with a great set on and twist. Large round head and wrinkling, and her dark eyes gave out the correct expression. She moved soundly and truly.

2. Pike & Pike’s CH RHODENASH STELLA DREAMS OF EIVISAH. Great square shape and balanced outline, and in lovely body condition. Excellent set on and twist. Still has good definition on her head wrinkling and ears.

MPB 8(1). It was exciting to judge this class of lovely babies with no one fazed by the ring.

1. Linnett’s CONQUELL KISS AND RUN. I loved her overall type and balance, everything there and no exaggerations. Square and cobby with good ribbing, and all four legs well under. Beautiful large head and square jaw. Well wrinkled and very good black definition. She moved well with front lift and rear propulsion. 

2. Green’s FLORENCETON SUMMER LOVE. Compact and square in outline and good spring of rib. Level back line which she held on the move. Head in balance to her body and well wrinkled and good black definition of her head points, giving a sweet expression. Moved true both coming and going.

2 Lee’s WIGBULL WINNIE WOO. A very nice sort of correct construction and square shape, and solid giving the impression of “much in little”. Moved well. Good head and wrinkle and black points but not quite the gentle expression of 1.

3.Byrne’s MILUCKSIN AMILLION

JB 1(0) 1. Dawson – Payne & Mousley’s JUDAMIE’S EDITH’S SUNSHINE. Stood alone but took my eye for her outstanding quality. Exuded charm and intelligent liveliness. Square and cobby in outline with well sprung ribs. Exquisite head and expression from her dark eyes and lovely wrinkling with all the black points clearly defined. She moved very well, with lift from the front and rear propulsion and a gentle roll. Close up in the challenge but she is just in a coat change hence RCC.

Another one of lovely quality, being of the correct cobby and square shape with good ribbing and a level top line and excellent set on and twist. Super round head with excellent wrinkling and defined black points. She moved with a true action in both directions.

OB 15(3) What a wonderful class this was. I felt honoured to have so many high quality bitches to go over and my final places were made on very fine margins.

1Storey’s RHODENASH KANDOO KAROUSEL. Of beautiful breed type and class, her conformation shouts “multum in parvo”. When handled she was in hard condition, and showed charm and dignity. Great balance to her head with beautiful wrinkling and a soft expression. Her black head points were lovely and she even had a trace. On the move she went as she looked as though she could, with true leg placement, freedom and a gentle roll. CC

2 Cowie’s CH AFTERGLOW ESTHER LA VISTA MEGIPUGI. One of beautiful quality, breed type and character. Square and cobby, level in the top line and the most exquisite of heads, being large and well wrinkled and blunt in the muzzle. Her definitions are excellent. She moved in correct Pug style. Not quite so firm in her body on handling today.
