Critique

I’d firstly like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge and making me feel so welcome. Then a huge thank you goes to everyone that entered, there did seem to be a wonderful atmosphere around the ring.
Thankfully the weather was cooler than previous days, the grass was a good length and the ring was a good size.
All dogs were beautifully presented and turned out, I didn’t come across one bad temperament in any of the exhibits so that really does say a lot about our wonderful breed. All exhibits had correct scissor bites, a few of the older ones had slightly stained teeth but overall all had correct mouths.

Special Yearling
1/1 – Miss B Godridge – Isilme Nuggetosaurus Rex. 19mth old cream male, beautiful head with dark pigment, liked his eye shape and correct small ears. Well muscled, tidy front and once settled moved with reach and drive. I just adored his sparkling personality and he’s clearly in love with his owner. One to watch for the future.
Limit Dog
1/1 Mrs G Bradbury - Wychlea Percy Vehere. Upstanding, large, impressive black male, beautiful masculine head with correct size and set ears, beautiful bone leading to tight cat feet, short coupled and compact outline, fabulous front assembly, straight strong hocks, moved out well with that typical spitzy brisk action. I did consider him for RD but he was just a little distracted in the challenge.
Open Dog
1/3 – Chambers – Musique Born Legacy. I’ve admired this boy from ringside and wow he didn’t disappoint, his gleaming, immaculate white coat against his super black pigment is breath taking! I adore his uber masculine blunt wedge head, tiny ears and constant spitz smile. Fabulous bone and feet, super square and well knit body, really well muscled and moved out like he owned the ring in correct brisk action retaining his top line. Just loved him! Best Dog, Best of Breed & RBIS.
2/3 – Rodgersons- Nosregor Willhe Suprise Ya. Black male, different type to first but still super quality throughout, fabulous coat, very handsome head piece and he used his ears well at all times, super front assembly and moved very well and in harmony with his handler.
3/3 – Jackson & Minshall. Cream sable boy. Again different type but still a beautifully put together boy shown in absolutely fabulous condition, liked his well knit and square outline, fabulous hind movement
but was slightly wide in front coming back. He was a little distracted by what was going on outside the ring so didn’t hold his ears as well as 1 & 2 but adored his cheeky expression.
Veteran Dog
1/2 – Mr & Mrs Serman – Ch Rochedo Bill The Badger By Tymy. 10yr old B&W parti male.... what a showman! How is he 10yrs old.... he we so happy to be back in the ring with his little spins and cheeky behaviour. He had one of the best fronts today, super straight forelimbs leading to his perfect feet, well knit, square body and strong hocks. Excelled on the move and gave a perfect outline on the free stand. Res Best Dog, BVIB & RBVIS
2/2 – Williams, Francis & Pearce's – Ch Longsdale's Lets Go Trebettyn. Another quality boy who I judged before, everything where it should be and he has the most wonderful bone, he moved out with purpose. He just didn’t have the sparkle today that I’ve previously seen with him. Still adore him though and still a very worthy champion.

Puppy Bitch
1/1 – Miss L Rodgerson – Nosregor Sister Sledge. Pretty cream girl with a good coat coming, full of herself but once settled her movement was very good. Loved her square outline and strong straight hocks. BPIB, she was much more settled in the BIS challenge and couldn’t deny her BPIS. Definitely one to watch.
Post Graduate Bitch
1/1 – Mrs S Slack. Very very pretty square sable bitch, I judged her as a puppy and she’s just got better and better. Beautiful correct coat finishes off her beautiful compact outline, fabulous bone and I loved her rear angulation, nice tight feet, moved out effortlessly and with no exaggeration. Expertly handled and presented by her young handler. Best bitch & Res BOB
Limit Bitch
1/1 – Mrs G Bradbury. Wychlea In The Purple. Pretty, typey neat bitch, full of zest, loved her typey head and expression, super front , her short knit coupling gave the wonderful true outline on her 4 square stand, loved her movement and another one that held her top line the whole time. Res Best Bitch. Gave BB a good run for her money in the challenge .
Open Bitch
1/3 – Miss R Godridge – Isilme Dazzle Me. Sable girl, another with a cheeky personality that I love, pretty head but I’d prefer a slightly higher ear set, beautiful square outline, short coupled, good bone with a tidy and correct front assembly, very well muscled, classy correct mover.
2/3 – Mrs & Mrs Bradbury & Serman. Oberitz Topsy Turvy. Smart, compact and classy black bitch, loved her feminine head with neat ears, good for bone and lovely small neat feet. Moved out well.
3/3 – Mr & Mrs Chambers – Manzamas Made With Pride. Pretty white bitch with beautiful pigment but very unsettled, I know she’s not normally like this so I think something outside the ring might of spooked her. Good to go over and moved well when she did settle for a few paces.
Veteran Bitch
1/2 (1 Absent) Miss R Godridge – Lusam Teazy Weazy. 9yr old bitch still oozing in life and full of mischief! Well muscled, loved her rear angulation and square outline. Hard to assess her on the move as she was just so excited about being the spotlight and just wanted to smile at her owner the whole time, she has a temperament to die and a credit to her owner.
