 MANCHESTER CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 20 JANUARY 2008

 

I would like to say thank you to the Committee for inviting me to judge and to all the exhibitors for their entries.

Last time I judged I found movement a worry and feel it has not really improved.  I also found that some exhibits were dirty and un-groomed.

My main winners were as follows:

 

D.C.C. and  B.O.B.     Shannon and Storr’s Brenndarcy Spellbinder

Wheaten dog with dark points. Good head and mouth. Level top line. Well balanced and well muscled who moved out well.

 

R.D.C.C.  Middlehursr’s Zalazar Unzipped at Starveren (Imp)

Good quality red dog.  Smaller made than C.C. winner but balanced and covered the ground well. Beautiful head and good teeth. Just lacking slightly on maturity at present.

 

B.C.C.  Waugh’s Razzle Dazzle Glory at Tribannon

Despite a profusion of coat this was a well made typey, rangy cream bitch. Level top line and tail spot on. An excellent head with good teeth and bite. Movement  was first class front and aft.

 

R.B.C.C.   Robinson;s Cruzo Cinderella

Well made bitch with everything as it should be. Lovely head and expression and moved out well. I’m sure her day will come.

 

Best Puppy  Moselely and Inett’s  Spawyche Elizabethan Onyx

Very smart 8 month wheaten dog. Nicely balanced, good head, top line and tail set. Moved very well.

 

Puppy Dog (10 Entries) 3abs

1^st     Moseley and Inett’s Spawyche Elizabethan Onyx - Best Puppy

2^nd    Felters and Rumen’s Landbuck Jumbo

          Well made wheaten dog well up to size. Lovely head and expression. Good mouth. Just beaten by 1^st who had slightly more positive movement.

3^rd     Newton’s Strathinver Such A Star

 

Junior Dog  (5 Entries) 2 abs

1^st     Short’s Glenchess All In The Stars

          Lovely dog to go over, good neck and shoulders, typical head and big teeth. Level top line and the soundest of movement.

2^nd     Dolan and Inett’s  Glenrood Ice Man

          The same comments as the 1^st  apply but today movement not quite so positive behind .

3^rd     Peers Tweedisle Guy Mannering

 

Post Graduate Dog  (8 Entries)  2abs

1^st     Middlehurst’s Zalazar Unzipped at Stavaren (Imp R.C.C. Winner)

2^nd     Edney’s Cherrycrack Poacher

          The 1^st and 2^nd in this class were really sound dogs with same attributes and I was splitting hairs but just slightly preferred the balance of 1^st place.

3^rd     Copley’s Cloverbrook Play The Game

 

Limit Dog (6 Entries) 1 abs

1^st     Inett and Harrison’s Glenchess Gabriel Over Carrradine

          Rangy light red dog. Good head and best of movement. Level top line and good tail set.

2^nd     Firth, Jones and Firth’s Cairngold Jackpot

          Good honest dog who covered the ground well. Nicely proportioned head with wicked expression.

3^rd     Percy’s Winetta Jimmy Mack

 

Open Dog (4 Entries) 0 abs

1^st     Shannon and Storr’s Brenndarcy Spellbinder C.C. and B.o.B.

2^nd     Waugh’s Tribannon Warlord

          This was a well made dog who moved well. Although smaller type to 1^st but more difficult to assess as he did not cooperate with his handler.

3^rd     Peers Tweedisle Sweet Talking Guy

 

Veteran Dog (3 Entries) 0 abs

1^st     Wall’s Ch. Shearwater Cae de Sonhas

          Still a beautiful 9½ year old dog to go over, who moved with drive and is a credit to his owner.

2^nd     Birch’s Ch. Kimkim Prinzludy

          Another lovely 10 year old dog to go over. In good condition and well muscled. Although slightly heavier than 1^st but still moved out well.

3^rd     Davey’s Castleline Game Spirit at Beranburh

 

Puppy Bitch (13 Entries) 7 abs

1^st    Pett’s Cairngold Gunning for Gold with Doonrae

          A very sound puppy who moved confidently round the ring. She had lovely neck and shoulders.  Level          top line and good tail set.  Just pipped at the post for Best Puppy on maturity.

2^nd     Dolan’s Glenrood Mystic Topaz

          A sweet wheaten brindle baby of nearly 7 months. Looks very promising just needs to tighten in front but plenty of time for that.

3^rd    Chambers Cairngrove Clever Clogs

 

Junior Bitch (11 Entries) 3 abs

 I thought this was a good strong class

1^st       Weinberger’s Correnie Crazy for You

            A smart bitch with lovely outline who moved well but lacked enthusiasm.  Beautiful head and expression.

2^nd     Firth, Jones and Firth’s Cairngold  Avin  a Paddy  

          Good quality silver bitch. Good topline and tail set and moved well but not quite the finish of 1^st.

3^rd     Thompson’s Castleline Bonnie.

 

Postgraduate Bitch

This was another strong class

1^st       Waugh’s Rivercottage Sandy’s Legend

             Rangydark brindle with superb conformation, good neck and shoulders. Good topline and tailset could trouble the best when in full coat.

2^nd      Robinson’s Cruzo Bannock Belle

              Smaller than 1^st but well made bitch with typical head and expression. Moved well but would like to see a bit more coat.

3^rd       Thompson’s Castleline Tiger Lily.
