Critique

VD 1 Clayton’s Kendamar Dark Side Of The Moon for Galvizach. Brown in excellent condition & coat, loved his head & expression with lovely ears, balanced shape, gd bone & feet, holds himself well with gd top line & tail, moved true. BV; 2 O’Loughlin’s Rossfort Apollo. More mature but in excellent condition, in v gd coat, typical head, gd legs & feet, correct tail set, moved ok. MPD 1 Mulholland’s & Looker’s Caolita Nemesis. At just 6 mths old sparkling white coat coming in well, sweet natured & learning about the show scene. Gd pigment, eye shape & mouth, neat ears, head & muzzle proportions pleasing, nice legs & feet supporting well sprung body though couplings could be shorter, gd tail set & moved well; 2 Wyndlee Rocky Racoon. Jet black well up to size, gd head with nice dark eyes, ears could be smaller, adequate chest & nicely placed shoulders, level top line, v unsettled, so not demonstrating his action v well. PD 1 Powell’s Desaria Blue Print at Brookwell. In superb coat condition & v typical in conformation, gd mouth, correct eye shape & nice pigmentation, may be a little broad in skull which makes his ear placement a little wide, gd top line & tail set, moved well on gd legs & feet, seemed to be carrying a little too much coat behind the line of his buttocks & thus making him look rather long, which he is not. BPD; 2 Mullholland’s & Looker’s Wyndlee Bungalow Bill. Shiny black coat coming through, really well up to size for his age, somewhat large in ears & needing to develop in body but has the rest of the expected attributes, needs to learn the rudiments of showing. JD 1 Beard’s Wyndlee Chandera Spectre. Bright orange coat with lovely head & expression, excellent mouth, eyes & ears, best of shoulders, well constructed body on nicely boned legs & feet, gd tail set & moving well both ways, with maturity & more bodily development, should have a gd future; 2 Chamber’s Musique Executive Decision. In reasonable coat but lacking under coat. Excellent pigment, neat ears & correct eye shape. Nicely balanced outline with gd ribbing, somewhat upright in shoulder which was reflected in his front action. Nice angles at the rear & moved satisfactorily behind; 3 Dickenson’s Nixtev Inferno. PGD Biggest class of the entry but not all of ideal construction, with several being rather long coupled & one v underweight. 1 Thurston’s Rossfort Caractacus. Cream who was an easy winner here for his lovely shape & correct head type, perfect showman, never putting a goot wrong, pleasing eyes & gd pigmentation, really well sprung rib cage & gd front assembly, compact body & gd tail set, moved steadily & typically, in lovely well presented coat of correct texture; 2 Beard’s Wyndlee Blue Horizon. Particularly neat small ears & v nicely laid out head with correct muzzle to skull ratio. Perhaps not quite as positive in front as the winner but well ribbed back with gd top line & correct tail set, moved wlel going away & was in profuse harsh correct coat; 3 Clayton’s Studholme Wizard of Ozz. LD Quality class. 1 Hewett’s Runfold Full Frottle with Spellcast. Best mover here & has nicely balanced outline with gd neck & carries himself with confidence. Clear brown colour in gd coat & body condition, ears may be a bit on the large size but otherwise excellent head, well boned legs & true tight feet, angles at front could be better, hindquarter angulation v gd, gd top line & tail set. RBD; 2 Powell’s Desaria Flash Gordon at Brookwell. Not quite demonstrating the activity level required by the standard but I am certain that he can. In gd coat & body condition, presented & shown well standing, somewhat stronger in head than some but muzzle length, eye & mouth v gd indeed, moving a shade close at rear but not in any way unsoundly; 3 Beard’s & Rose’s Wyndlee Earl Grey. OD 1 Beard’s & Rose’s Ch Wyndlee Ghost In My House. How lovely it must be to own this worthy champion, has the correct small erect ears set just right to give him the deisred expression in his almond eyes, lovely skull & muzzle with excellent mouth & gd pigmentation. This all supported by correct neck running into lovely body with gd depth & spring of rib, front assembly & legs & feet to die for & hindquarters to match, excellent tail set, the best of coats & on the move proved that correct structure will produce superb movement. BD. Gave his all to his handler & proved victorious over all exhibits present, as later with the agreement of the Klein judge was awarded BIS; 2 Chamber’s & Rogerson’s Ch Bruitz Corncracker for Teamspitz. Certainly not disgraced here, another top flight exhibit with excellent balance, lovely cream with plenty of coat on the day, loved his head, though do feel he would be even more pleasing with smaller ears, gd pigmentation & excellent mouth, well constructed forequarters, gd rib & tail in the right place, v well presented & unobtrusively handled; 3 Ch Desaria Disraeli at Brookwell. VB 1 Clayton’s Dramidas Kiss ‘N’ Makeup for Studholme. Ten yrs old & alone here but typical exhibit with pleasing head, gd coat & in excellent condition for one of her age, nicely made in body & bone & showed v well but was unhappy about one of her ears, hope it is ok now. MPB 1 O’Loughlin’s Caolita Virago. V feminine white with the best of legs & tight feet, could be a shade lon in body but has so much growing to do, loved her eyes of true almond shape but needs to develop in head to balance with her ears, gd tail set & nice & firm & true on the move; 2 Beard’s Wyndlee Dear Prudence. Jet black developing nicely but needing to firm up all round, pleasing head & excellent shoulders, gd spring to rib but would prefer more length to same. Showing confidently. PB 1 Clayton’s Studholme Loving Lass. Little to choose between these two, this one firmer all round, gd eyes & mouth, well carried ears, pleasing body proportions, gd bone & tight feet; 2 Thurston’s Rossfort Xanadu. At 9 1/2 mths old has time on her side & she surely will tighten up, pleasing head though a tidier ear would help her expression, likes her dinners I suspect & this affected her front action, one I would like to see again in a year’s time. JB 1 Beard’s Wyndlee Chandera Dotty Dotty. V much a junior with coat only half length & needing to mature in body. Nicely marked black & white with typical head with neat firm ears. Gd shoulders & front, rather slender though at the present time. Nicely made quarters, hard to assess on the move as she was living up to her name. PGB 1 Clayton’s Desaria Annissa at Studholme. V attentive, in gd harsh coat, pleasing head type with excellent pigmentation, well shaped eyes & gd mouth, gd front, level top line but a fraction long in body which is not helped by her tail set, a gd mover & excellent showgirl; 2 Bray’s Abbicher Queen Of Egypt. V gd black just coming back into full coat, not quite as tidy in front as the winner, well laid out head, another with nice bone & body condition, rather loose on the move though true; 3 Mulholland’s Umshubwe Ruby’s Black Onyx. LB Lovely class & those coming back into coat having had a little will trouble the others in a month or two. 1 O’Loughlin’s Runfold Fast Forward to Caolita. Cream in gd harsh coat everything in the right places, gd head with neat ears, gd mouth & well shaped eyes but would like them without the shadows beneath them. Well up on her toes & moved v well. Gd neck & top line, well sprung ribs of correct length. Being hypercritical perhaps hocks could be lower set on one of her size. BOS; 2 Pooley’s Wyndlee Fallen Angel from Azkaban. Close up to one & only length made a difference. Pleasing head with gd muzzle & clean eyes. Nicely boned with tight feet. Gd ribbing & top line & well carried tail, moved well; 3 Hewett’s Runfold Eternal at Spellcast. OB 1 Chamber’s Dramidas Haza Parti for Musique. Black & white particolour which must be stunning in full coat, excellent neck & shoulders, compact in body & gd tail set, v alert with typical head & nice pigmentation, v active & showing herself well on the move. It was interesting to join with the Klein judge for the BIS decisions & we had no trouble in choosing our winners. The stunning white Klein p Goldritz Sleepflower being BP.
