Championship Show

Saturday 23/05/26

Many thanks to SWWC for the invitation to judge whippet bitches at this show. Many thanks also

to Karen Bennett and Mary Rigby for stewarding for me.

I was looking for an elegant Classic whippet that is not over exaggerated in any way, so creating

a balanced picture to the eye, and with sound movement. I do feel more attention should be

payed to this as too many are very close behind and front movement loose from poorly laid

shoulders which causes strange things to happen lower down.

VB 9 (1)

1. Whitmore’s Whitleara Truly Scrumpy VW. Brindle girl who is 11 yrs old, such a very elegant girl

who still holds her topline well when moving with lovely free extension, sound to and fro, she

certainly did not show her age. BVB

2. Williams’s Tigsisle About Time. This 7 year old fawn and white parti girl has a lovely head and

good neck into well laid shoulders, she has a good topline which was held well on the move.

3. Hambling’s Mossbawnhill You Got The Look From Chaseover.

MPB 7.

1. Cooper’s Ballauren’s Diamond. A very feminine fawn and white puppy, she creates a very

pleasing picture when standing covering enough ground, she has a beautiful head with a

sweet expression well laid shoulders, good length of loin and turn of stifle, she is still a little

bit loose on movement but she is a young baby she shows good front extension with a lovely

free stride in profile. BPB, RBPS.

2. Lewis’s Lockhurst Elphaba, another nice young puppy, pale fawn with good length but not

over exaggerated, she moved nicely round the ring with sound movement.

3. Sliwinski’s. Oh aka Razzle Dazzle of Patronum.

PB. 8. (2)

1. Sharp’s Saintharp All in Good Time. A very smart brindle with white trim girl, super head,

good length of neck into well laid shoulders, good spring of pastern, good movement to and

fro and looks good in profile.

2. Howgate and Hull’s. Palmik Raindrops. A very attractive pale fawn lovely head and expression,

she has good shoulders and bone, excellent depth of rib, she was just a tad loose in front but

looks great in profile.

3. Ellis’s Silkridge Silhouette Over Railfield,

JB. 7 (2)

1. Yacoby-Wright’s Cobyco Capture The Moment. A lovely pale fawn, well put together in every

way, she is a feminine girl without loosing substance, she was well balanced and moved with

purpose and drive.

2. Brodie and Owen’s. Wolfcastle Crazy in Luv. This brindle girl has a nice overall outline, a

slightly different type than the winner and I would have liked a little better lay of shoulder, she

has a nice topline and good depth of rib, she moved nicely.

3. Bowyer’s Crosscop Arabella.

YB. 2.

1. Coulter’s Collooney Strawberry Wine. This red fawn and white parti is a nice girl, she has a

good length of neck and a nice topline which would be improved if she lost a bit of weight!

She did move well round the ring.

2. Prowse’s Freehamlet May Zing Grace. Fawn girl she was not showing herself to her

advantage today, she does have a nice lay of shoulder and depth of rib, rather loose

movement.

neck and lay of shoulder, spring of pasterns was good and good depth and length of loin. She

moved well and looked good in profile.

2. Coopers. Ballauren’s You Got It. She is a fawn and white parti of a slightly stronger type, good

head and expression, good lay of shoulder and her topline is good which she held on the

move she had good free movement.

in proportion from nose to tail, super sweet expression, lovely shoulder placement, good

depth of chest and length of loin, perfect turn of stifle for me, nothing over exaggerated,

moved really well.

prefer a slightly better lay of shoulder, but I liked everything else about her, sound movement

to and fro and good in profile movement.

3. Howgate and Hull’s. Tervanty Dragon Song at Palmik.

OB. 5.

1. Green and Ratcliffe’s. Ch: Crosscop Bumble Bee By Arradore. What a beautiful fawn girl she

is, stunning head eye and expression, lovely elegant neck that flows into well laid shoulders

and seamlessly on into her topline with a gentle slop over her well muscled hind quarters. Her

movement for me was faultless to and fro and in profile I could have watched her for hours.

BCC. Then as my co judge Roz Holland and I couldn’t split the two top winners we handed

that decision over to the referee Jackie Norman who decided that she should go BIS.

2. Morland’s. Ch: Zoradan Gossip Girl JW ShCexOSW. She is also a very striking girl with a

lovely brindle coat, I have always liked her from the ringside and was by no means

disappointed, super head and neck, great topline and underline, she is slightly shorter than

the winner, she is a very sound mover and very easy on the eye When moving in profile with a

great stride and drive.

3. Cooper’s. Crosscop I’m Always Yours at Ballauren’s JW.
