Windsor 23 Judge

GLEN OF IMAAL WINDSOR 23 Judge: Mr F Kane GLEN OF IMAAL JUDGE WINDSOR 23 I had looked forward to this appointment for some time, I have a great affection for the breed and appreciate the challenges of a bowed front and a rising top-line, fronts were the major problem with lack of angulation and length in the upper arm resulting in lack of chest and therefore no anchor for the front legs on the move, a few close or incorrect bites present, many thanks for a very enjoyable morning. Two of lovely type. 1. Hannington’s Eng/Bel/Dutch/Int/Esp Ch. Boudivella Osca. 8 years old, strongly made with good skull and foreface and strong jaw, excellent rib and top-line and substance I would prefer more angulation in shoulder and his front has maximum turn out, sound rear and carried the correct top-line, love is substance and carriage on the move, RDCC & BV. 2. Perry’s Romainville Maggie May. 9 years, lovely bitch with feminine head and soft expression, in good coat, I preferred her front assembly to winner but not the top-line on the day. 1. Withers’ Pajantick Commodore. 8 months with excellent carriage, top size and needs to firm up in top-line which would be helped by a shorter coupling, good shoulder assembly, strong head, balanced in proportion, ears are a little heavy, sound movement. 1. Fraser’s Amhard Runrig. 22 months, wheaten, he is immature in body and I would prefer a little more bone but he scored in eyes and dentition here, very good coat, good length of head, excellent coat, sound movement. 2. Lark-Jones’ Boudivella Arlo. 2 year old blue, I liked his type a lot and he has more substance than the winner, very good coat, strong head, good ears but his light eyes detract, correct top-line. 3. Withers’ Pajantick Darknite. 1. George’s Marfidal Jerez Dulce at Romainville. 4 year old blue, I liked his head and ears and good eye, has some rise to his top-line, needs more chest which shows in his front action, hard top coat but the silky furnishings detract, not putting all in on the move. 1. Hardy’s Amhard Quick Fire. 4 year old, full of breed type in head, body shape and coat, jaunty on the move, good front assembly and excellent feet, good ribcage, strong masculine head, ready for a new coat, DCC, his third. 2. Saletti/Hall’s Esp Ch. World Heremon Bear at Jojase. 3 years, lighter coloured wheaten who is a little high on the leg, good front assembly and moves accurately, good skull, his coat is not his fortune and I preferred the balance of the winner. 1. Hannington’s Boudivella Rosie. 11 months blue, lovely proportions, top-line and chest, maximum bow to front legs for my interpretation, quality feminine head, scored in ears and eyes to win this competition with her litter sister, BP. 2. Pierce’s Boudivella Maisie. More strongly bred litter sister with good substance and coat and very good top-line, I liked her a lot but needs to settle in ears. 1. Kirkwood’s Cazcade Betty Boop. 18 months, lovely type and excellent front assembly, good skull and foreface and big teeth, I liked her front assembly with good lay back and upper arm, can fill out a little in chest, good top-line, I’d prefer a harder coat. 2. Pierce’s Boudivella Maisie. Repeat. 1. Hannington’s Mo Stor Ailin of Tatler Jack’s Clann at Boudivella. 2 years, wheaten, a lovely bitch of excellent proportions and substance, in good coat, good skull and ears, beautiful round dark eyes, very good quarters which drive her round the ring, front action a little wide, pressed hard for RBCC as I love her type, just needing a little more bone. 2. Saletti’s Serena Jojase Aisling Pixie. 2 year old blue bitch just coming into good coat, strong skull, needs a little more stop, good ribcage, good rear angulation, won this place on substance and front action. 3. Hardy’s Amhard Rapid Beat. 1. Hardy’s Amhard Raspberry Fizz. 2 year old wheaten, winning this on top-line, coat and carriage, her front assembly could be better and this shows in her front movement. 2. George’s Romainville China Blue. 3 years, strong headed bitch with beautiful eyes and strong bone, her coat texture could be better, not going with any enthusiasm here and her front action could be better. Good class but the winner stood out for me. 1. Sage’s Ch. Wickholm Bohemian Rhapsody. 3 year old blue, I liked her for size and proportions and the best mover here, not a big bitch but plenty of substance to her, good head and eyes, good chest giving tight front and good front action slight rise to top-line, good coat and excellent carriage, really lovely bitch, BCC & BOB. 2. George’s Romainville Rag Doll. 5 years, bigger bitch who is a little masculine for my taste but she has excellent bone and substance and a rise to her top-line, profile movement excellent but not the front action of winner, RBCC. 3. O’Grady’s Amhard Quick Sand. |
