Critique

t was an honour to be asked to judge at Crufts & I enjoyed my day. The overall temperament of the dogs was excellent but I was quite disappointed in the fact that there were quite a few bad mouths & movement wasn’t great in a lot of the dogs. I thought my three main winners stood very well together.

VD (4,1a) 1 Corkin’s Ch Nixtev Kinetic, black 9 years, in excellent condition. Pleasing head, alert expression with neat ears & well shaped eye. Well constructed body. Moved well; 2 Hohtari & Ruotsalainen’s CIB/Ch Caoilta Galaxy, 8 year old dog in good condition. Pleasing head & body shape. Moved OK; 3 Hewett’s Ch Spellcast Secrets And Lies. PD (1) 1 Saich’s Lindcoly Mischief Maker, young puppy obviously enjoying his day out. Liked his head & overall shape. Needs to settle on the move. Promising puppy. JD (4,1) 1 Bridal & Shutlar’s Bond Sirchay Ample Time, larger dog. Pleasing head. Oval shaped eye, would have liked smaller ears. Erratic on the move; 2 L Mischief Maker; 3 Poultney’s Sirchay Star Trooper. PGD (9,2) 1 O’Loughlin’s Caoilta Drexel, lovely dog. Nice wedge shaped head. Nice eye & good body shape. Moved very well; 2 Godrich’s Flamuna Mani, another nice dog. Good construction & head but preferred movement of 1; 3 Cook & Clayton’s Studholme Moon Orbit. LD (8,2) 1 Hamer & O’Leary’s Borndownunder Talking Heads of Clarmer, balanced head. Good eye & ear shape. Well constructed body. Excellent on the move; 2 Saich’s Hocombewood Hot Toddy for Lindcoly, smaller dog. I liked his head & body shape. Good mover. Would prefer to see slightly more of him; 3 McWilliam’s Nixtev Raziel at Istramac. OD (16) 1 Chambers’ Ch Musique Worth The Wait, I really liked everything about this dog. Head, body making a perfect silhouette. Excelled in movement, in fact the best mover on the day. Pleased to award him CC & BOB; 2 Tunturipuro’s CIB/Fin/Sw/Lv Ch Jotamillen Handsome Hoshea, another nice dog with many virtues. Pleasing head. Well constructed body. Good topline & tailset. Moved well. RCC; 3 Hanninen’s FCI Ch Thom Dy Doms Lugano. GCD (5) 1 King’s Ch Grizwold Loki; 2 Lord’s Ch Nixtev Phoenix; 3 Williams’ Spellcast Talk To Da Paw at Trebettyn.

VB (6) 1 Moir’s Ch Nixtev Liberty at Jansanleis, 9 years old in excellent condition for her age. Pleasing head with alert expression. Moved & showed very well; 2 Smith’s Spawood Noholds Barred, sprightly 8 year old in good condition. Moved freely; 3 Purves’ Bulbas Endora. PB (4) 1 Hamer & Cree’s Clarmers Best Buds with Gibbcree, very promising puppy of 11 months. Correct head & outline. Showing qualities to advantage. Should go all the way with maturity. BP; 2 Wells’ Bulbas Penelope at Wolfcreek, smaller puppy. Unfortunatley lacking coat. Preferred head & construction of 1; 3 Saich’s Zephon Dreams Made With Love at Lindcoly. JB (5,1) 1 Seppala- Lyly’s Nugadogin Gypsy Queen, a lot to admire in this bitch full of personality. Quality head with sweet expression displaying many characteristics of the breed. Excellent on the move. RCC; 2 B Lady Penelope at W; 3 Clyde’s Jansanleis Shot Of Love. PGB (10,3) 1 Saich’s Lindcoly Pixie Princess, nice bitch but would have preferred more of her. Excellent head proportions. Well constructed body. Moved very well; 2 Bennett’s Musique Mariella at Melitabe, preferred the head of 1. Compact body. Very loose on the move; 3 Mountain’s Musique Hot To Trot at Hocombewood. LB (10,1) 1 Conway & Oakden’s Macpaws Roxy Rascal, quality bitch. Liked her head & earset. Good front & body. Neat & precise on the move; 2 Chambers’ Musique Charismatic, another nice headed bitch but a little longer cast than 1. Not in such good coat as 1. Still a very nice bitch & sound on the move; 3 Saich’s Zephon The Thunderstorm at Lindcoly. OB (10,3) 1 Rajala’s CIB/Fin/Dan/Sw/Nor/Cz/Lit/Hung Ch Pianta’s American Dumdum Pops, this is a lovely bitch. Born showgirl. Lovely head & expression. Good body. Super coat. Nice topline. Moved very well. Well handled without any fuss. CC; 2 Seppala-Lyly’s Fin Ch Nugadogin Biccolo, another nice headed bitch but a little longer cast than 1. Not in such good coat as 1. Still a very nice bitch & sound on the move; 3 Moir’s Ch Jansanleis Mayhem. GCB (1) 1 King’s Druitz Cariad Bach of Grizwold.
