Fourth time lucky! I was due to judge at the 2019 show, then 2020, then April 2021: thanks to the secretary and committee for keeping me ‘on the books’ as Covid reeked its havoc through life generally and dog showing specifically. It did have one advantage in that the event was now designed to precede the Scottish Kennel Club show over ensuing days, and numbers of exhibits, especially Mini Smooths and wires, were clearly up. Fortunately, we also had the advantage of being an indoors show on the back of the SKC event. I am extremely grateful to my two stewards who kept things moving along especially as we came under pressure after lunch to complete before best in show – but at the same time giving exhibitors value for money in going over their dogs carefully. 
P (5, 1) I started my judging with possibly the most difficult class of all, four very even 6 month old puppies with very little to choose between them. 1 Reed’s She’z Worth the Wait Dor Puddledub. Red bitch, pleasing feminine head, good eye, decent length of neck, sufficient clearance, good top line, correct ribbing, enough angulation, and moved well and with confidence. BP. 2 Bullis’ Amaffrey Jimmy Mack. Red dog of correct size, good top and underlines, not quite the length of neck as the winner, decent rear angulation, good clearance, moved well but not with quite such verve as the winner, though on another day could easily have been first. 3 Morris & Waddells’ Crosscop Tuttie Frutti. 
J (5,1) 1 Cross’ Loggeta Pickled Lilly. 13 month old B/T bitch, feminine head, correct eye shape, decent length of neck flowing into correct shoulders, good lines top and underneath, tight feet, well balanced and moved with confidence and power with parallel action front and rear, good clearance. BJ & BB. 2 Bullis’ Amaffrey Bridget Jones. B/T bitch, 15 months old, slightly more compact than class winner, feminine head, good length of neck, level top line and good ribbing, moved well but front action not quite as straight as first in class. 3 Strange’s Cazdachs Time To Shine. N (3) 1 Cumberland’s Mumysami So What. Red bitch, nice size, balanced and all in proportion, pleasing feminine head and eye, decent front, good rear angulation, tight feet, moved well with parallel action. 2 Whyte’s Dachienne Strawberry Swing. Red bitch, just 12 months old, pleasing head and eye, tight feet, good neck, strong front, maybe a tad short in upper arm, level topline, good clearance, movement not quite as fluent as winner. 3 Graham’s Shantallah Georgiana. 
G (7,1) 1 Bullis’ Amaffrey Truly Scumptious. Shaded red/brindle bitch, 18 months old, good head and eye, compact, just enough clearance, good top line, strong rear quarters, moved well and confidently. 2 Stewart’s Stargang Tyrion. 6 year old brindle dog, good front, decent length of ribbing, level topline, well proportioned, and moved well but not quite as fluently as class winner. 3 Cumberland’s Mumysami So Distinct. 
PG (4) 1 Kent’s Lokmadi Catherine Wheel JW. B/T, two year old bitch, lovely head and eye, good neck, good strong front, perhaps a tad deep in chest, pleasing outlines, moved well and with confidence. RBB. 2 Rose’s Pennydach Mystique At Rosencrantz. B/T bitch, three years old, correct size, though again maybe a tad deep in chest, good prosternum, level topline, not exaggerated at rear, moved well though not quite as well as class winner. 3 Whyte’s Chequevar Paddington Bear At Dachienne JW. RBD. (My apologies to this dog and his owners for not writing a critique, he came third in this class behind two girls but still won Reserve BD). 
OD (3) 1 Kent’s Lokmadi Sand Dollar. Not quite two years old, fawn dog but with good dark colouration where it mattered, good size and all in proportion, masculine head, good dark eye, decent neck, correct clearance, powerful hindquarters which he used to his advantage moving with ease and purpose, BD and BOB. 2 Bullis’ Amaffrey Will I Am. 22 months old B/T boy, good size, well proportioned, good clearance, masculine head, correct eye, neck might be longer, level topline, moved well and fairly straight but without the drive of class winner. 3 Strange’s Stargang Magic Alfie Moon. 
OB (4,1) 1 Ergis’ Ch Siouxline Rapunzel With Melriding. Eight year old red bitch, very feminine, good head and neck, strong front, correct ribbing, classy mover, but a little weak at rear when stacked. BV. 2 Kent’s Lokmadi Jingle Belle. 21 month old red bitch, feminine head but not the neck of first, a little deep in chest, level topline, good ribbing, moved with confidence. 3 Shutt’s Donnadoon Carolina Moon. 
SB (4,1) 1 Whyte’s Dachienne Strawberry Swing. Description as above. BSB. 2 Rose’s Ardenrun Foolish Whisper At Rosencrantz. Two year old red brindle bitch, pleasing head and eye, good length of neck, good angulation but not with the movement of class winner and a bit close behind. 3 Rose’s Amaffrey Jimmy Mack.
