Pekingese Club of Scotland

Thank you to the committee of the Pekingese Club of Scotland for inviting me to judge their show. I enjoyed my appointment and was efficiently aided by my steward Philip. This is a breed I have had a long attachment to, and will always be one of my favourites. 

PUPPY DOG (2/1) 

1. Blakeway's KLERKSHOF JUMPIN FLASH (naf) 11 month old black masked red. Good size & substance, in excellent coat & condition. Lovely eye, correct shape skull, well set ears. Open nares. He appeared to be favouring one shoulder so his front movement was unsettled. 

 JUNIOR DOG (1/1) 

1. Lund’s YAKEE TWIST AND SHOUT TO MAGNETIZZAM Personality plus fawn with black mask. Gorgeous head & expression, with round dark eye, open nares, well set ears. Beautifully presented in excellent coat & condition. Could be shorter coupled but moved true either end with typical roll. Tail well set & carried, flat feet. 

 POST GRADUATE DOG (3/2) 

1. Clifton’s YAKEE KING OF THE KOP Fawn boy with black mask. Lovely size & substance. Pleasing head, although a little squarer than ideal, but with flat skull & well set ears, lovely dark round eye, open nares & good depth of muzzle. In profuse well prepared coat of good texture. Short coupled body with broad chest narrowing to hindquarters. Tail well set & carried. Moved true either end with typical rolling gait. Large flat feet. A balanced boy with a lot to like about him. BD & BIS 

2. Lund’s YAKEE STARLIGHT EXPRESS TO MAGNETIZZAM Another fawn with black mask, but he was not a happy boy so did not show to his best advantage. Short coupled body, well prepared coat of correct texture. 

 LIMIT DOG (1/1) 

1. Maxwell & Chalmer’s YAKEE A STAR IS BORN WITH AINTSHE JW Well grown fawn boy with black mask. Lovely head round dark eye. Correct envelope head shape & balance. Open nares. Good width of muzzle.

 OPEN DOG (4/2) 

1. Blakeway’s KLERKSHOF ENGLISH CROWN AT BELLABLAKE JW Smart red boy with lovely head width, large round dark eye but would prefer a little more depth of muzzle. Well set ears. Short coupled body with good tail set & carriage. Large flat feet. In well presented coat. Typical rolling movement. 

2. Lund’s YAKEE THE SUN GOD WITH MAGNETIZZAM Another smart dog, but longer in body than winner. Pleasing head with dark round eye & open nares, but I preferred the head balance of the winner. Well presented in good coat of correct texture. Large flat feet. Tail well set & carried. Rolling action.
