Keep fit class by Ann Waugh!

 My apologies for making the exhibitors work so hard in the ring but I cannot make decisions by just observing dogs standing. Fore and Aft movement tells you one thing, but the side gait tells you far more. I was pleased with the overall quality of the exhibits. In some classes I could have awarded a first prize to more than one and decisions  were very close

Veteran Dog(4,1a)

1^st Cameron's Stryvelling Ivanhoe,7yrs,I have previously awarded this dog aC.C. and he still pleases me. In full bloom, excellent mouth. good showman, moved as well as ever. Best veteran.

2^nd Petts'Doonrae Dragoon, 7yrs, another in good order with pleasing head, good movement and showmanship.

3^rd OUgh's Ocedar Blue Moon.

 

Veteran Bitch(1)

1st Ough's Ocedar Morning Star. Pretty bitch, carrying a bit too much weight but she gave a good account of herself and was in good coat.

 

VintageDog or Bitch.(2)

1st Ough's Ocedar Stormy weather,13yrs red bitch with a very pleasing head, coat a little sparse but of good texture, movement a bit erratic.                                              

2nd Cameron's Pinetop Petronella at Stryvelling, 12 yrs,dk br bitch feminine head, very well covered body, moved well enough, difficult to assess her coat as she had been clipped.  

 

Minor Puppy Dog,(4,1a) This is where I had to make a difficult decision. Two very promising pups of totally different type , both 8 mths old. I needed two red cards here.                                       

1st Croyman's Croyanda Hamilton,wh.br. in good coat and condition, pleasing eye, mouth good stop, neat ears, topline carried well on the move. sound mover.                              2^nd 2^nd Smith'sRocasovale Razzle Dazzle, well grown gr.br. carrying a thick correct coat, very masculine head, good mouth and eye colour Good outline, moved well.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

3^rd Peers' Tweedisle the Good Guy, 6mths and very much a baby in this company.    

                                                                                        

Puppy dog,(5,2a) 

 1st Inett and Heidecker's Hydecastle Ozzy Oswald, 11mth wh br. assured youngster, well constructed body, moved very well, good head, coat and condition. B.P.I.S.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

2^nd Saich's Lindcoly Double Express,10 mth wh.br. larger puppy, very short of coat but what was there was of correct texture. Close decision with ----

3rd Smith's Strathview Country Squire10 mth red br. Good coated dog with good mouth and eye colour but unfortunately not making the most of himself.

 

Junior Dog,(5)  

1^st Stephinson's Twohoots Barnabas, a lovely example of the breed, masculine in outlook, in great coat and condition, correct balance, sound mover all round with ground covering action, nice size. I loved him.

2^nd Inett and Harrison's Glenchess Gabriel over Carradine, wh.with pleasing head and expression, free mover strong outline carried well.

3^rd Peers'Tweedisle That special Son, wh. with a lovely expression--not so mature as those above.

 

Yearling Dog,(2)

1^st Saich's Lindcoly Golden Ledgend, well bodied and hard muscled red, good head with ex.mouth and eye, sound fore and aft movement with plenty of reach and drive in side action.

2nd Shannon and Storr's Brendarcy Spellbinder,wh. with well constructed head and pleasing expression, in very good all round condition also with well muscled quarters. Not so perfect in foot fall as above but satisfactory side action. Close up.

 

Maiden Dog,(1)

1^st Peers'Tweedisle Troublemaker, another from this kennel with a lovely head and expression. immature in body making him appear leggy--a longer coat would help him.

Novice Dog(3)1st Catto's Daydream Believer, high quality wh.br. with a strong outline, masculine head without coarseness, good mouth neat ears and correct eye, infine all round condition. Very good showman. Moved well.

2nd Cairnside's Soutra LIttle Lion, red br. my notes say "misbehaving on the move"--therefore difficult to assess, but there is a lot to like here. well balanced strong outline, in good coat, head and eye all correct.

3^rd Wilson'sKilnknowe Gift of Myrrh, cream, smaller pattern shown in clean but blown full coat ,pretty head, moved o.k.

 

Graduate dog (3,1a)

2^nd Hughes'Gyncairn Rock and Roll, wh.br. another with a masculine and typical head. Handles well on the table, moves with purpose. Coat does not lie as flat as 1st making him appear bigger than he is.

3rd Hoggarty's Cadagio the Unexpected, handsome gr.br.a larger pattern than those above, but with lots to like.

 

Limit Dog(7)

1st Shopland's Cherrycrack Mack the Knife, Mature gr.br. in great body condition. Has to be handled to be appreciated. Very free and effortless movement. Showed well to win this good class.

2^nd Hooton,Shorter and Nutall's Penticharm Prince Charming, wh.br. slightly taller than 1st and not so mature in body, lovely head and expression, correct bone, balanced very good outline. Showed well but I felt he needed a larger area to get into his stride.

3^rd Firth's Cairngold Jackpot, wh. in hard condition pleasing head construction, good mouth and eye for shape and colour. Showed well.

 

Open Dog(7,Ia)  An excellent class of top quality dogs.

1^st Wenzel's CHSwed/Fin/Ger/Ned/ CH.Glenmore's Top Gun.

2^nd CH.Cannwood as if by Magic to Starveren.

I felt it was a privilege to be able to go over these two top quality dogs. very little separated them---both are beautiful examples of the breed. Their heads are superb. There is a flow of neck into an absolute topline on both dogs. They carry themselves regally and seem to know that they are both at the very top at this moment in time. I truly needed 2C.C. They were closely followed by-----

3^rd Hogarty'sCH/IR CH/INT CH Cadagio as Good as it Gets, A dog I have often admired but today I did not feel he was looking his best. He seemed to have insufficient hair on his neck to balance that on the rest of his body. A transient illusion but since this is a beauty competition, he paid the penalty--- but he is a very worthy champion.
