LONG HAIRED

 It is a few years since I last judged the breed and I was quite impressed with the improvement in front construction, (or perhaps those with doubtful fronts stayed away.) My main concern this time was width of hind movement and length of tails, also I found a few hare feet. PD (4) 1 Johnson’s Africandawn Night Dancer. Handsome masculine hound. Excellent bone and substance. Good shape and length of keel. Moved soundly with plenty of width.  Best Puppy Dog. 2 Roberts’ Swansford Dumbledor. Promising baby. Nicely constructed. Scored on width of body and movement.  I will watch his career with interest. 3 Chapman’s Melminds Mr Magoo. JD (4,1a) 1 Dare’s Bronia Salvador Of Darsoms Attractive, red, masculine hound, Scored on front construction, good quarters and tail set. 2 Burke’s Ranglewood Galaxy With Bonavoir. A close decision-Another pleasing hound, Excellent front, good quarters and tail set. 3 Fosset’s Owlery Carlos At Brysdax. ND (1) 1 McNaughton’s Cedavoch Kaballah. Black and tan. Pleasing head, eye and neck. Good width and depth. PGD (4,1a) 1 Burke’s Logetta Duke Of Marmalade. Nice type.  Pleasing head and eye.  Good length of neck.  Plenty of width throughout. Nice quarters. 2 Chapman’s Marshwick Moonlight Dream At Melminds. Black and tan. Pleasing head, good neck, nice quarters. Well presented. 3 Chappell’s Rouls Liquorice Lover At Gleneddee. LD (4) 1 Johnson’s Bronia Prime Design At Africandawns Attractive masculine hound. Good width standing and moving.  Excellent angulation at both ends.  Scored on extension and drive on the move. 2 Dare’s Darsoms Zupremo Another close decision. Attractive, well-constructed masculine hound with pleasing head and eye. 3 Dunbar’s Bronia Fernando. OD (6,4a) 1 Mitchell’s Bronia Classic Legacy. Shaded red, handsome, masculine hound.

Moved with drive and great ring presence. C.C. and B.O.B. 2 McFaul’s Ch & Ir Ch Dachville Distant Dream. A worthy champion. Excellent construction. Sound. Lacked enthusiasm particularly on the move. Res C.C. PB (6,1a) 1 Robert’s Swansford Dipsy Dora  The one the judge would most like to take home. Sweet, feminine, black ant tan.  Everything in the right place. Perfect tail set giving lovely rounded quarters. Moved soundly as I knew she would. Best Puppy. 2 Lawrence’s Peverleigh Rose Of Polly. A pleasing shaded red youngster.  Good front and ample width-standing and moving. Unlucky to meet the winner. 3 Fosset’s Melminds Methodin Madness Via Brysdax. JB (5) 1 Mitchell’s Bronia Enchantress.
