MINIATURE LONG HAIRED

 Many thanks to the society for inviting me to award my first set of CC’s in this variety and to the exhibitors who gave me a good entry which I believe is representative of the breed at the moment. Whilst I was delighted with my principle winners and the majority of my class winners there were considerable areas where the breed needs to improve. Many are very flat footed and weak in pasterns, this would prevent them from doing the job they were intended to do. Too many in my opinion are verging on toyish rather than a workmanlike hound which could do a days work, and many need far more exercise than they get. Exhibitors who present their dogs with long nails, dirty teeth, untrimmed feet and coats in poor condition are in my opinion wasting their money, a few extra minutes the night before could make all the difference to a lot of these dogs, and please make sure your dogs are trained before you subject them to the show ring. Many had totally incorrect pigmentation particularly reds and creams with chocolate nails and noses which is an ugly fault not allowed according to the UK Breed Standard and was penalised heavily. Please be aware of what colours your dogs may carry before deciding on a suitable mate otherwise this problem is going to escalate.

MPD
(4,1) 1 Holden’s Lyndarlea Black Ace at Sengepabu. B/Cr boy in good coat for age and presented well. More mature than the others in the class. Lovely head with good eye shape and expression. Decent lay of shoulder and good pro-sternum, well ribbed back with correct spring. Feet a little flat and weak in pasterns but with exercise as he matures this should improve. Moved well. 2 Burge & Rossiter’s Creekpit Hot Chocolate. C/T, balanced dog with a good head, would like truer action in front but needed to settle on the move to really assess. 3 Way’s Sudasam A Touch of Magic.

PD (5,1) 1 King’s Kingsdax Chase The Dream. B/Cr well grown masculine dog, beautiful head, good front, topline ok, used rear well on the move. 2 Brooks’ Lyndarlea Bubbles. C/Dapple with very pale tan, taller on the leg than one but this gave his scopey side movement which I like. Good head, good topline carried correctly on the move. Would like to see more angulation both ends but a well balanced dog. 3 Woodage’s Totonian Toscanini.

JD
(5) 1 Boyles’ Zarcrest Ice Conqueror. Stunning Shaded Cream boy of just the type I like. Beautiful head, correct front, good neck leading into correct topline held perfectly on the move. He was out of coat but this just showed his effortless reachy movement even better which is true coming and going. He eats up the ground despite not appearing to put much effort in. Presented to perfection and didn’t put a foot wrong to win his 2nd CC & BOB. 2 Holden’s Sengepabu Saint Valentine. Lovely red boy of good type. Lovely head, neck and good front assembly. Excellent topline carried well on the move, good drive from behind. Would like slightly tighter elbows but a lovely dog and a well deserved BPD. 3 Leyshon’s Picklescott Vincenzi.

PGD (7,1) 1 Poole’s Findowrie City Slicker. Red dog of good type, ok in head, good front assembly, level topline, good rear which he used well on the move. Powered round the ring. Would just have liked more neck. 2 Latham-Jackson’s Nagshall Black Nite. 5yr old B/T which really appealed. Taller than most but so elegant, stunning head, correct topline held well on the move, would like a little more angulation behind but moved really well with excellent drive. 3 Fsadni’s Rugosa Saint Barnabas.

LD (7,2) 1 Cawley & King’s Creekpit Black Opal at Summerview JW ShCM. B/T dog of super type. Very good head and front. Excellent topline and sound rear which he uses really well on the move. In beautiful condition. Pushed very hard in the challenge. 2 Hallett’s Cagebrook Jimmy Choo at Loretto. S/R dog who needed his coat to finish the picture. Close up to 1 and a good type. Good head, excellent front construction, good topline. Moving a little wide behind at times. 3 Brooks’ Lyndarlea Fizzical Attracts JW.

OD
(7,1) I was splitting hairs between my top 3, lots to like about all of them. 1 McAlpine & Walsh’s Ir Ch Walpines Flamin Red. Red dog of excellent type, looked like he could work all day. Very sound all through. Excellent shoulder placement and long ribbing, powerful quarters which he uses so well on the move. Sound as a bell and should get his UK title with ease, very well deserved RCC to the lovely junior dog. 2 Wood’s Ch Wildstar Wrenowned. Glamorous B/T with tremendous coat (even a little too much), lovely head with correct eyes, good neck leading into well angulated shoulders. Ribbing could be slightly longer, good quarters which he uses well. On the final go around he just dipped his topline slightly which was the deciding factor but close up and a lovely well deserved champion. 3 Poole’s Findowrie Skye Lord

MPB
(7,1) 1 McCarthy’s Nagshall Puppet on a String. Cream baby who is all of a piece and exactly how I would want her at this stage. Ok in head, good front and topline, neat rear. Moved well. 2 Woodage’s Rossdach Secret Society for Totonian. S/R ok in head and neck, would like a straighter front. Needs to relax more when standing. Moved ok. 3 Brace’s Xemxija Ice Cristal.

PB
(5,1) 1 Rees’ Rafthouse Classic ClichE9 at Amical. S/R bitch who excels on the move. Good head and neck leading into excellent shoulders, correct topline held well on the move. Used her rear well on the move. Looks like she could move all day and this combined with her correct conformation won her BPIB. 2 Worswick’s Indicott In Tune With Dolyharp. Red/Brindle of good type, lower to the ground than 1. Looked a picture stacked, in beautiful coat and condition. Excellent head and front, level topline, good rear. Moved well but preferred the leg length of 1, but a very nice bitch. 3 McCarthy’s Nagshall Puppet on a String.

JB
(6) 1 Thomas’ Shenaligh Sweet Surprise. B/T of a lovely type, excellent head, true front, good topline which she holds well on the move. Moved ok but would have liked more drive behind in the challenge. 2 Brooks’ Lyndarlea Muffin. Elegant B/Cr with a good head, excellent front assembly. Ok in rear and would like more drive from behind on the move. In lovely condition.

PGB (10,1) 1 Johnson’s Charpurdy Just Iss. Elegant B/T who looks a picture on the move. Excellent head and neck, good front assembly, correct topline and good rear which she used to advantage on the move. The more this bitch moved the better she got and really shone in the challenge to win the RCC in good company. 2 Breese’s Chriskim’s Sun Kissed with Silkdown NAF. S/R neat bitch, excellent front assembly and rear angles. Ok in head but would like more neck. Moved well. 3 Dring & Harris’ Bronia Royal Rouge at Roehampton.

LB (9,1) 1 Lockett-Walters’ Ralines Aubra Jean. Quality B/Cr in excellent coat. Lovely head, good front and shoulders, correct topline held well on the move. Used her good rear well on the move. 2 Way’s Ralines Butternut Posh. Cream in good coat and condition. Nice head, ok for length of neck and neat shoulders. Good topline at all times. Moved well. 3 Welton’s Chelane Pure Magic.

OB (
7) 1 McAlpine & Walsh’s Ch/Ir Ch Walpines Queens Courtier. It is no secret that I love this B/T bitch, so elegant and just the type I adore. Beautiful head, reachy neck leading into text book shoulders, excellent ribbing and topline held perfectly at all times. Very good rear which she uses so well on the move. In glorious coat and condition. Won the CC with ease but decided to play up in the challenge for BOB and after a tough battle gave way to the young dog. 2 Holmes’ Ch Tammera Touch of Elegance. S/R I have long admired for type and soundness. Very balanced bitch with good angulation both ends. Lives up to her name perfectly, in lovely coat and condition. Not putting her all in on the move today. 3    Jamieson’s Djeata Spring Blossom.
