MINIATURE WIREHAIRED

I enjoyed judging this breed, but a few things I had noticed since I last judged. Feet are not at their best, many with flat and weak pasterns and very long toe nails which spoilt the shape of the foot. Ribbing is becoming too short and many were short in keel. I also noticed there were soft coats appearing, so jackets were fluffy and not harsh. Teeth need to be cleaned, as tartar stained teeth are offputting. I was pleased with my principle winners.

PD (9) 1 Kugow &Holt’s Waldmeister Samuel. Immature puppy, but so nice to go over, lovely head, neck and well filled front, excellent coat and presentation, good outline which he keeps at all times, when he matures I am sure he will have an interesting future. Best PD. 2 Blackburn’s Stargang Daniel De Foe. Lovely puppy, very excellent masculine head, well filled front, moved out well but prefer the coat of first, keeps a good outline on the move.

JD(2) 1 Banks &Douglas’ Kmai Razzle Dazzle Of Torabbi. Alone in this class, has a lot to like but I would like a more almond shaped eye, excellent ribbing, moved out ok.

PGD (4) 1 McDowell’s Waldmeister Charlie Brown At Aristodax. Brindle, the best mover in this class, pleasing head, neck and front, keeps a pleasing outlline. 2 Young’s Tarkus Harvest Gold. Red carrying far too much weight that spoilt the picture, pleasing head but was very lethargic today on the move. 3 Puckett’s Molloney Willy Wayme.

LD(3) 1 Blackburn-Bennett’s Wyndsmoor Mister Chips At Stargang. Smart mini wire, lovely head, neck and front, excellent spring of rib, well angulated hindquarters, moved out well, keeps a pleasing outline at all times, moved with purpose. 2 Price’s Samlane Tetley. Dog of a different type to first, presented in excellent coat, pleasing head, neck and front, preferred hindquarters of the first.

OD (3) 1 Thorn-Andrews’ Ch Drakesleat Win Alot.  A very smart male who I have often admired from the ringside, masculine head with coarseness, excellent front construction, well placed shoulders, excellent spring of rib, keeps an excellent topline at all times, well angulated hindquarters which give drive on the move, pleased to award him CC and BOB and was delighted he was Gp 3. Congratulations. 2 Horswell &Iwama’s Ch &Jap Ch Drakesleat JPTrier Winshoten. Different type to first, masculine head, neck and front, keeps a level topline at all times, moved out well but today preferred hindquarters of first.

PB(5) Excellent class of babies. I could have awarded a first to most of them. 1 Blackburn-Bennett’s Stargang Lady Ga Ga. Pretty bitch, sweet head and expression, correct well filled front, excellent ribbing, moved out with great style and purpose, should have a great future, pleased to award her BP and the RCC, delighted that she won the Puppy Hound Gp. 2 Thorn-Andrews’ Drakesleat Sally Forf. Different type to winner but one out of the top drawer, well muscled bitch, correct head, neck and front, moves out with purpose and drive, sure to have a great future. 3 Horswell’s Drakesleat No Stone Unturn’d TAF. A super baby who looks a picture stacked but when she comes together on the move she will hit the high spots.

JB (4) 1 Otter’s Portalutra Sasha Imi. Smart brindle presented in excellent coat, sweet head and expression, nice well filled front, keeps a good outline, moved with drive. 2 Dunn’s B~arratini Bumble At Ashridge. Dark brindle that needs time to relax, correct head and nice expression, well arched neck, moved out well but needs more confidence to finish the picture. 3 Mobley’s Samlane What Else Of Jakanem.

PGB(9) 1 Rigby’s Waldmeister Maud For Rigadac. Nice bitch with a lovely temperament, correct head, well arched neck, keeps a pleasing outline, the best mover in the class. 2 Marston-Teal’s Lordscairnie Enduring Love. Larger type to winner, scores well in all departments but today I preferred the outline of first on the move, covered the ground ok. 3 Hooper’s Starhill Lady Of Shall Ott.

LB(7) Interesting class of mixed types that all have different things to offer the breed. 1 Thorn-Andrews’ Drakesleat Winsum Losesum. Brindle, loved her head and expression, super neck, correct shoulders, well muscled hindquarters, moved out well keeping a lovely outline at all times. 2 Barney’s Verrami Ava Nuvver Romaunt.

OB(5) 1 Baldwin’s Beckel Pent-House Baby. Smart brindle who I have judged before, she has matured nicely, lovely head, neck and front, well placed shoulders, excellent ribbing, well angulated hindquarters, covered the ground with ease, pleased to award her the CC, her second, I hope her third comes soon. Congratulations. 2 Blackburn-Bennett’s Stargang Diamond Star.
