242. Special Yearling (6,1)

1st Slater’s Zizula Love Was Born To Shine. Dainty 11 month old sable and white bitch. Very pretty head piece, defined stop, nice blaze, rounded skull and fine pointed muzzle. Large, mobile ears with rounded tips, set correctly into head with sufficient fringing. Dark, medium, round eye. Strong jaw with correct bite. Medium length of neck leading into well laid back shoulders, good depth of chest, body still maturing. Good length to loin, strong hindquarters with parallel hocks. Tail set high, arched over back and well fringed. Moving straight coming and going, balanced and well-angulated in profile. A real quality exhibit, who moved around the ring so effortlessly. I was delighted to award her BOB & BPIB. Pleased to see she went onto TPG4.

2nd Groocock’s Ookiimimi Ticketyboo. 23 month old dark red sable and white dog. Masculine but not coarse. Round eye, defined stop, good blaze, ears set correctly and well fringed, would prefer a fraction more rounding of skull. Good depth of chest and barrelled rib cage. Level topline, leading into strong loin and high set tail with ample fringing. Parallel hocks, good turn of stifle and nice hare-like feet. Quite enthusiastic on the move today but straight coming and going and balanced in profile when settled.

3rd Nash’s Ookiimimi Unique Gift

243. Limit (3,0)

1st Slater’s Bresar’s Almeno Tu Nell‘ Universo In Zizula JW (Imp Ita) 2 year old, sable and white dog. This boy has the most characteristic, mobile, large ears with excellent fringing, set a little further part than some, completed by a good blaze for that typical butterfly look. Dark, round eye and rounded skull, muzzle a fraction longer than preferred. Strong jaw and correct scissor bite. Medium length neck leading into well laid back shoulders. Nicely barrelled rib cage, level topline, good length of loin and turn of stifle. Typical breed outline on the stand, standing slightly longer than high, on hare-like feet, finished off by a well fringed tail, set on high. Straight hocks moving away and parallel front coming towards. Buoyant and balanced in profile. Pleased to award him RBOB.

2nd Nash’s Ookiimimi Truly Precious at Yeldaeh. Very feminine, dainty, 23 month old, dark red sable and white bitch. The prettiest of heads, round eye, good stop and finely pointed muzzle of correct length. Rounded skull leading into correctly set, well fringed ears. Correct length of neck and well laid back shoulders leading into a level topline. Strong loin of correct length and good turn of stifle. Tail well fringed, set on high and turned over back. Just not as settled or confident as 1 on the move today, which was a shame as I really liked her. When settled she moved positively fore and aft with straight hocks.

3rd – Headley’s Yeldaeh’s Miss Havisham JW

2nd Nash’s Ookiimimi Serenity. 3 year old, very petite sable and white bitch. Nicely rounded skull leading into correctly set, mobile ears with ample fringing.
