Best Puppy MIDDLEHURST’S Cannwood As If By Magic To Starveren

 

 

 

 

 

Despite the unpredictable weather I was able to judge outside and use the large ring provided to full advantage.  Nearly all exhibits were presented in ex. muscle tone.  A few caused concern due to rather thin feet and long nails.  I also detected a slight pastern weakness.

MPD (4,1)

1st--Felters and Rumens Landbuck Little Tyke.6 mth, red br. nice size for age, gd head ,lovely mouth, neat well placed ears, in ex. coat, sound mover. Confident showman.

2nd-- West's Junetta Victor ,Gr. br. who handled well on the table, smaller pattern than 1st sound mover with ideal width behind, in good coat and condition, showed well.

3rd--Frost's Penticharm  Black Jack. dk. br. well grown, sound in action, when I could see him move.  Very immature, at the all legs stage, best left at home until his coat catches up with his body.

PD (3)  

I never thought that separating two puppy dogs would be one of the most difficult decisions of the day.  1st--Middlehurst's Cannwood As if by Magic to Starveren. Lovely high quality wh. br. gorgeous  but masculine head, gd. mouth, stop, ear set all correct.  Good shoulders, strong topline, carried himself well and covered the ground with purpose. R.C.C.

2nd--Braybrook's Cloverbrook Wild Card, Alert dk. br. Expressive head handles well and makes the most of himself on the move. Sound and balanced in good coat and condition. I needed two red cards here.  I predict, with a bit of luck, a rosy future  for both.

3rd--Mears' Billy Flynn.  Red br. Pleasing head, good body but not as finished, balanced outline, not quite as one with his handler as those above him.

JD (6,) 

1st--Roberts'Cannwood Red Comet, red, litter brother to 1st. in puppy dog, a smaller dog, lovely head, well constructed body with good flow of neck into level topline  carried well.  Sound mover, showed all out.

SYD (6)

1st--Berrecloth's Sybster Spring Time, gr. br. Correct head and expression, presented in peak coat and condition. Flowing side action with correct width behind.  Lots to like here.

2nd--Thomas and Ward's Vanajam Three Wishes to Tycadno .Wh. br. typically constructed head with intense expression gd. mouth, dark eye, neat ears .Moved and showed well but giving away a little in maturity, and this was my deciding factor.  Showing promise.

3rd--West's Junetta Ludycrous, Very well constructed wh. dk. pts. smaller than those above.  Neat head with correctly placed ears which he eventually used to advantage. Very sound in action with perfect foot fall.  I would like a bit more of him but a good dog nevertheless.

PGD (5)

1st--Confue's Bang on the Door.  Red, with a typical head, big teeth, Ex. balance, moved well in profile, in good coat and condition.  Initially did not please as he was not as one with his handler.

3rd--Crosby's Tolimaura Chase, wh. br. masculine head and outlook, good topline and action.  I felt too much hair had been taken from his sides and this, a temporary failing, spoilt his appearance for me.
