MINIATURE LONG HAIRED

 Delighted to find such a quality entry and I was spoiled for choice especially in the dog entry. When judging Min Longs I try to keep in mind they are in the Hound group and therefore, as well as adhering to the breed standard, need to be strong, muscular and free moving. Glamour is a bonus! .Fronts have improved but still too many short in upper arm. Sadly, I found very few who had real thrust in hind action. I was surprised to find several exhibitors stringing their exhibits up and then racing them round the ring. The line of the neck flowing into the shoulder is spoilt and exhibits throw their front legs in all direction. On each occasion I asked exhibitor to slow down and loosen the lead, lines and movement improved. MP (5,1) 1 Poole Findowrie City Slicker.Lovely head and expression. Lovely head and expression, supper front. Excellent outline at all times. Moved truly covering ground. 2 Lockett Wal;ters Rallines Red Kuri. Built on similar lines and shown in excellent coat and condition..Nice neck and shoulder with plenty of fore chest. 3 BrooksLyndarlea Atlantica. P (3,2) 1 McCarthy Nagshall All Guns Blazing. Lovely headed B/T. True mover especially behind. Would like more length of upper arm. J (10,2) 1 Young Willowheath Hendrix. Elegant B/T who moves out like a dream absolutely truly. Excellent front with clean legs and feet. Scored here on his powerful quarters. 2 Brooks Layways Piper for Lunderlea. Most attractive cream with dark pigmentation. So well balanced. Good front construction, well bodied. 3 Crawley and King Creekpit Black Opal at Summerview. PG (6,2) 1 Hallet Cahebrook Jimmy Choo at Loretto. Shaded red of very different type to the rest of the entry today. Lovely head and neck running into superb lay of shoulder.Clean legs and feet. Strong topline. Moves out well. 2 Richardson Sirrondach Ebony Damon Hill. Lovely B/T who was lower to ground than winner but not as true in front. Lovely coat and condition. Looked a picture going round. 3 Brook Lyndalea Fizical Atracts JW. L (9,3) 1 Brooks Lyndarlea Earth Tremor. Exciting B/T. Lovely head and neck going into well laid shoulder. In hard muscular condition. Moves soundly keeping his lovely lines. Good coat of excellent texture.Thought he would be a contender for top honours but in challenge missed his handler. 2 Croxford Arbroath Lord of Strathspey. Neat red with tidy legs and feet. Excellent ribbing.True free mover who keeps his lovely lines at all times. 3 Poole Findowre Skye Lord. O (10,1) Strongest class of the day as quality went right down the line. Normally a decisive judge splitting the first two proved to be real headache.Both shown in first class coat and condition. Both had many pluses and of course small minuses. There was nothing to choose in movement. In the end decided Choc Ice just scored in balance height to length. 1 and CC Brooks Ch Lyndarlea Choc Ice. 2 and res cc Turners Ch Rafthouse Herr Flick. 3 Brown Ch Rafthouse Raising Hell at Garbosa. V (2) 1 Watkins Ch Bidomis Pinball Wizard. Delightful 8 year old in first class shape and condition. Still moves with great gusto. 2 Duchesne Scandell's Ring Master. Handsome ten year old shown in excellent coat. Moved soundly with purpose. MP (11,1) Class of promising pups. 1 Way Ralines Butternut Posh .Really glamorous little cream Coat really gleamed. Lovely head and neck running into super front with good legs and feet. Moved truly with purpose. Inclined to fly her tail but she was enjoying herself and at 7 months why not? 2 Brooks Lyndarlea Sunset. Again very sound well made babe.Well laid shoulder with clean legs and feet. Strong topline. 3 Rees Yumares Smart Enough. P (8) 1 and best puppy Geeson Abydachs Absolution. Outstanding. Gave her dam her first CC and think she is even better. Well laid shoulder,good top and underline. Popwerful quarters. Moves out truly keeping her lovely lines. 2 Turner Rafthouse Lucy Lastic. Another lovelyone. Well laid shoulder good fore chest. Good length. Again free mover. 3 McCarthy Nagshall My Fair Maiden. J (16,3) 1 Renton Dukidachs Silver Sugar. Well made silver dapple. Good shoulder, legs and feet. She moves truly and really kicks out behind. Keeps her lovely lines at all times. Just needs more coat to complete the picture. 2 MeeBarlaines Dark Delight. Elegant B/T shown in excellent coat and condition. Well bodied with good length of ribbing. Very well balanced. Covers ground well. 3 McCarthy Nagshall My Fair Lady. PG (17,7) 1 Blachshaw Ravensway Drama Queen. Shaded red shown in excellent condition. Prominent fore chest, good feet. Good length of ribbing. Lovely outline at all times. Personally found her movement more fluid when she was moved slower. 2 McCarthyNagshal Pickity Witch. Smaller. Again good front and feet. Moved truly. Not quite the head and expression of winner. 3 Norton Halunke Casalani. L (12,2) 1 CC and BOB Nortons Halunkie Shalimar. She filled my eye completely. So well made all through but nothing was exaggerated. Shown in really hard muscular condition and in good coat. Kept her lovely lines at all times and moved so well. 2 Earley Yelva Silver Moonlight. Lovely silver dapple again so well made. She moved truly but not quite the length of stride of winner. 3 Thomas Shenaligh Sweet Shadow. O (11,3) Difficult class. There was quality right through the entry but some out of coat or condition, Others lacked any desire to move or show off their qualities. End of show season syndrome? 1 and Res CC Earley Yelva Silver Cloud. Well laid shoulder good length of upper arm and tight elbows. Strong topline and powerful quarters. Really covers ground truly. 2 Roberts Ch Denver Suzi Wong. I love this small B/T. She is good to go over on the table and moves out so nicely. Sadly today was carrying a little too much weight which resulted in her topline flattening. 3 Holmes Tammera Touch of Elegance. V (5,3) 1 and best veteran Davis Corrinbar Barley Blue. Sparky silver dapple who like most of the dapples scored in front construction and powerful quarters. Excellent coat and condition. 2 Johnson's Charpudy New Dawn. Sweet headed 10 year old. Lovely front, strong topline and quarters. 3 McCarty Nagshall Cream Toffee.
