______________________________________________________________________________

I have always maintained that judging a breed club show, whether open or championship, is a singular honour for the judge elect. My most sincere thanks to the officers & committee of the club for inviting me to judge the show in their diamond jubilee year & the exhibitors for allowing me to judge their dogs. I have had a longstanding interest in the breed since the early 80’s &, it was with great delight to officiate at this lovely show set in very picturesque countryside. Thank you for your magnificent entry of 46 dogs making an entry of 56. My daughter Sarah, who stewarded for me, & I had a lovely day & thank you for the warm welcome we received.

I congratulate you again on your endeavours with temperament there was not a cross word. Type is still variable both in coat & outline. Mouths need watching as I had two level bites. There were couple of mouths with teeth that were crowded, this is normally indicative of insufficient width of jaw. Most tailsets were OK however, please do keep an eye on the tail set. Coat colour ranged from ripe wheat to barley. I felt there was more depth of quality in the bitches.

I would reiterate my comment I made when I judged at Leeds, my overall impression was a breed that is in good & caring hands & I commend you all for your efforts. I thought the majority of dogs were well presented, clean & a credit to their owners care & attention.

BIS & BB, Ch Janeyjimjams Jemima; RBIS & BOS, Ch Middlebury Shooting Star; RBD, Zaraslake Lucky Seven; & BP & RBB, Clarke’s Flaxella Weaver Of Dreams.

VD (1)

1 Glews’ Wentloog Mozambique at Braelochyen, 10 year old dog who belies his age. Pleasing head of correct proportions. Scissor bite, with big teeth although a couple were missing as one can expect in our oldies. Good layback of shoulders & depth of brisket. Short loin & correct rear angulation. Moved well for his age.

PD (2) A nice class of youngsters of differing type they who were enjoying themselves.

1 BPD, Tilley’s JaneyJimJams Jubilee Star at Starzak, an 11 month old puppy who is maturing nicely. Correct head shape with correct length of foreface to skull, Good length of neck & layback of shoulder. Excellent rear angulation with low set hocks. Tailset OK. Needs to steady a little on the move however moved out well with good front & rear extension;

2 Lui’s Eblanahalls Aye Right, another nice albeit immature puppy of 8 months, who was unfortunate to meet the winner. Head slightly out of balance with length of muzzle exceeding length from eyes to occiput, hopefully as the head develops it may balance out. Reasonable forequarters & length of loin. Held topline on the move, preferred front extension & rear angulation of winner.

JD (1)

1 RBD, Watkins’ Zaraslake Lucky Seven, beautifully presented young man, a class act. Correctly proportioned head with parallel planes, flat skull & very good earset. Strong neck going into good forehand with lay back of shoulder. Deep chest with good spring of rib. Moved positively & with purpose. This young man is a very good example of the breed & shows a lot of promise. Pressed the BD very hard indeed;

2 J Jubilee Star at S;

3 Pattinson’s Harkmojoni Dillon’s Boy, young 15 month old dog at his first show. Good head shape of correct proportion. Good forehand & length of loin. Nice rear angulation & he moved well.

YD (3,1a)

1 Pascoe’s Calvenace My Sweet Lord for Middlebury, 20 month old young man. Pleasing head shape with parallel planes. Good bite & underjaw. Strong neck going into good forehand with lay back of shoulder. Deep chest with correct spring of rib. Moved positively & with purpose;

2 McFerran’s Kirktonhill Cara Dilis, similar age as 1, a little wide in front & not as mature as winner. Correct head shape but would have liked a bit more of it. Nice layback of shoulders with correct depth of chest & length of loin. Rear angulation OK, moved erratically.

GD (3,1)

Not the strongest of classes.

1 Leverton’s Carkbark Good Luck Charm, young dog that shows promise but needs extra training of both dog & handler. Head of correct proportions with parallel planes. Correct bite with powerful jaw. Lovely forehand & length of loin with good bend of stifle. Covered the ground well but needs more training;

2 Mackenzie’s Kirktonhill Rumour Has It, smaller dog. Proportionate head. Layback of shoulder could be better, good depth of brisket & length of loin. Moved OK;

3 Glew’s Braelochyen Abracadabra, 2½ year old dog who needs more coat. Head proportionate, reasonable forechest needs to be stacked better as was losing rear angulation as he was over extended. Moved OK.

BD (1)

1 K Cara Dilis.

LD (4)

1 Macintyre’s Thistlebee Mr Bojangles, dog with head of good proportions. Good eye shape & alert expression. Parallel planes with flat skull. Strong neck going into good forequarters. Good depth of brisket & body outline with correct tailset. Moved well, with good front extension;

2 Moles & Wiliams’ Celtannia Extra Suave, young dog of 21 months who needs a little more time Smaller dog of quality. Good head shape with parallel planes. Strong neck going into good forehand with layback of shoulder. Deep chest with correct spring of rib. Nice bend of stifle. Did not move as well as 1;

3 B Abracadabra.

OD (1)

1 BD, RBOB & BOS, Pascoe’s Ch Middlebury Shooting Star, I gave this dog BD the last time I judged before he became a champion. I make no excuses for repeating what I said at Leeds then. Masculine dog. Head of correct proportion with parallel planes. Correct eye colour & shape which enhanced his expression. Good strength of jaw & correct bite. Clean neck flowing into good forehand. Had depth of chest with plenty of heart room. Correct body shape with good rear angulation & tailset. Moved well.

VB (6)

1 BV, Tilley’s Starzak Solid Gold Ez Action, 9 year old bitch who moved better than a lot of the dogs that were half her age. Lovely feminine bitch with well proportioned head & parallel planes. Pleasing expression. Strong neck with very good forehand. Correct length of loin & good rear angulation. Moved very well;

2 Pascoe’s Middlebury Silver Lady, similar remarks apply to this bitch as to the winner. Another who is a credit to their owner;

3 Glew’s Calvanace Hazy Days of Braelochyen, slightly bigger bitch than the 1 & 2. Pleasing head of correct size & parallel planes. Very good forehand & length of loin. She was being over extended & as a consequence her rear angulation suffered. Moved OK.

PB (6,2)

Some very promising young ladies, lovely class to judge. I wrote on my judging book the Maurice Chevalier song title ‘Thank heavens for little girls’. Thought the winner had a better coat at this point in time.

1 BPB, BP & RBB, Clarke’s Flaxella Weaver Of Dreams, I judged her mother at Leeds & gave her RBB too. Has all the attributes of her mother & then some. Would love to see her in a year or so. Head of correct proportions with parallel planes. Scissor bite with strong underjaw. Correct length of neck, strong & clean. Forequarters well angulated, good depth of chest. Rear angulation good, with low set hocks. Moved well;

2 Roberts’ Janeyjimjams Jubilee Grace, another lovely puppy who is not quite so mature as the winner, but I am sure will trouble the best once mature. My comments about the winner equally apply to this young lady. I look forward to hopefully seeing both of these promising puppies in a year or so;

3 Glenton’s Eblanahalls Hitchen Koo, younger puppy & had to give way on maturity, she is very promising & I am sure the owners will have a lot of fun with her. Feminine head without weakness, parallel planes, pleasing expression. Good forequarters & length of loin. Rear angulation good, moved well. Unfortunate to meet the 1 & 2 in such sparkling form.

JB (2,1)

1 F Weaver Of Dreams.

YB (2,1)

1 Mole & Williams’ Celtannia Extra Chic, litter sister to the 2 in Limit & similar remarks apply with a feminine emphasis. Thought she had a better head shape than her brother with parallel planes. Strong neck going into good forehand with layback of shoulder. Deep chest with correct spring of rib. Nice bend of stifle. Moved well.

NB (3,2)

1 Pattinson’s Braelochyen Cora Sundrop of Harkmojonj, 4 year old. Feminine head & OK length of neck, slightly upright in shoulder. Depth of chest OK, length of loin OK. Movement a little erratic.

GB (3)

Lovely class although three different types.

2 Hughlock’s Janeyjimjams Jolene, what a shame she was suffering form a bit of ‘stagefright’. Once she managed to settle she showed her quality. Pleasing head with parallel planes, flat skull & correct length of foreface. Strong jaw & scissor bite. Reasonable length of neck going into good forequarters. Excellent rear angulation with correct bend of stifle, moved very well once she settled;

3 Macgregor’s Kirktonhill What I Believe, different type again, smallest of the three bitches & carrying a little too much weight. Good head shape of correct proportions. Flat skull & correct earset. Strong neck into good forehand, length of loin good, rear angulation OK, moved well. Good texture to coat.

BB (2,1)

1 J Jolene.

LB (2)

Two pleasing bitches.

1 Clarke’s Flaxela Everlasting Love, correct head shape, good bite & strong underjaw. Good reach of neck & lay of shoulder. Pleasing body outline, angulation front & rear good, positive drive on the move;

2 Lui’s Thistlebe Them There Eyes at Eblanahalls, a very pleasing bitch with feminine head of correct proportions Powerful neck into excellent forehand. Loin & rear angulation very good. Moved with drive & purpose. Seemed a little distracted.

OB (5)

This was another lovely class of bitches.

1 BB & BIS, Charleton’s Ch Janeyjimjams Jemima, a very worthy best in show. Lovely bitch with a feminine head of with correct proportions. Parallel planes, flat skull & good earset. Alert expression with good eye shape. Clean powerful neck flowing into well laid back & correctly placed shoulders. Good depth of brisket with plenty of heartroom. Correct outline & tailset. Muscular hindquarters with length of second thigh & low set hocks. Covered the ground with ease;
