MINIATURE LONG HAIRED - DOGS

I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge Miniature Long Haired dogs. The venue is superb with plenty of room and a super floor and excellent parking for the exhibitors. MPD (7,3). 1 Lockett-Walters Ralines Red Admiral. Dark shaded red with fabulous front and shoulder, good head and eye, ribs long with short loin. Good topline and moved ok for first time out. BPD and with the agreement of my co-judge BP. 2 Worswick’s Dolyharp April Evening. Golden boy of good proportions. Slightly more mature than 1, but just preferred the length of rib on 1. Moved ok. 3 Oxley’s Dinkidax Tidal Wave. PD (4,1). 1 Rees’ Yumares Oliver Mac. Just over 10 mths showing some very good promise. Good head and eye, front and shoulder ok. Adequate length of rib and keel with good quarters. Moved well, nice type. 2 Oxley's Wildhatch Cropston Boy Of Dinkidax. Red brindle, lovely eye, good length of neck, adequate shoulder with ribs of good length. Quarters ok but would just like a little more of him all over. 3 Jamieson’s Silver-A-Do By Djeata. JD (5,0). 1 Welton’s Chelane Casper Carrot. Clear red dog of lovely proportions. My notes say excellent in all departments but was such a naughty boy for his handler today. One to Watch. 2 Brooks’ Lyndarlea Piper Kris. Cream boy that was very  well made. Moved like a dream and was at one with his handler. Would just like a cleaner foreface. 3 Hartley’s Tialamour Destiny Calls For Lyrosh. PGD (7,1). 1 Brooks’ Lyndarlea Earth Tremor. Black and cream. Nice head and eye, good neck leading into lovely prosternum and shoulder. Good length of rib and short loin with lovely quarters. Moved well. 2 Rees’ Yumares Nicholas. Cream boy who was very nice to go over. Would just prefer a slightly lower tail set. 3 Croxford's Arbroath Lord Of The Glen. LD (9,1). 1 Poole’s Findowrie Man About Town. Red dog that was excellent all through. This dog is as sound as a pound and is fabulous to go over. He made the ring his own on movement. Loved him. CC his first and I hope his others are not too far away. 2 Palin's Sanmik’s Data. Good head and eye with lovely shoulder. Good length of rib and very good quarters. Moved with good drive and very sound. 3 Kings' Kingsdax Regal Knight. OD (6,0). 1 Lockett & Lockett-Walters’ Ch Ralines Royal Statesman. Black and cream. Fabulous head and eye with excellent prosternum. Well laid and angled shoulder with ribs well laid back and strong loin. Short hocks and very nice quarters. Just felt he did not give of his best today RCC. 2 Roberts' Ch Denver Jack Frost. Cream dog that is very well made. Excellent head with superb eye, good shoulders, lovely feet and bone. Moved well in all departments. Worthy Champion. 3 Watkins’ Bidornis Pinball Wizard.
