Firstly I would like to thank everyone for a lovely days judging. Today I was looking for an exhibit that was made correctly and that I felt could do the job it was bred for. As the Royal Kennel Club statement says Fit for Life Fit for Function. So I judged too find which exhibits where made correctly and where balanced and sound in movement. I was always taught as a young boy that you must never dam an exhibit for one fault or you will end up going down a very slippery slope and your line ups for the top awards will be of a mixed bag. I would also like to mention that never in my life have I ever been so rude to a judge and to verbally attacked in the ring by an exhibitor I found disgusting and unsportsman like and this exhibitor wants to be thankful that I didn’t take it any futher as one might say I rose above it. Also thank you to the exhibitors for there support with this incident.

1ST        2172 - Bimini Song Sung Blue (Mrs S J Jones) Here was a young male that took my eye and heart. Correct balance to head with a lovely expression. He has the correct reach of neck and takes you to correct shoulder placement. Upper arm is of correct angle and length. Ribbing is of correct length with a short loin and his ribs are nicely sprung. The hindquarters are also correctly angled and match the front angulation with strong short hocks. For one so young he is very sound in front and rear and to see him move his side action is effortless and he covers the ground using his correct construction. I was happy and pleased to award him CC BOB BPIB I will watch his future with great interest.

 

2ND       2190 - Rozelle Fools Gold (Mrs R J Mullen) Another quality young male, lovely balance to head and correct bite. Good neck and shoulders and angle of upper arm. Well sprung ribs with correct length and short loin. Quarters are well made and has strong short hocks and moves soundly and covers the ground.

1ST        2152 - Cardaxians Bambam Baby (Mr L J & Mr M Beach & Partridge) I found this exhibit so well constructed, he has the correct balance of head and has a good mouth. Correct reach of neck with a good lay of shoulder and angle of upper arm, ribbing was of correct length his quarters have the correct angulation to match his front and he moves soundly and with drive. Presented in tip top condition fit for life fit for function his overall balance and construction should not be ignored.

 

2ND       2182 - Lordscairnie Dubious Love (Mrs S F Marston Teal) This exhibit could not match the winner for construction. Good mouth and eye thou I felt the head was too toyish for my liking. He has a good shoulder but has a short upper arm would prefer more bone. Well sprung ribs ample quarters movement was sound.
