I
found the breed overall to be in a fairly good state, not so many huge ones
these days but many of the same old problems are fairly prevalent. Many are
still too short in upper arm giving a very upright lay of shoulder halfway up
the neck with the inevitable toeing in in front, this often goes hand in hand
with a very upright pelvis & not a great deal of hind angulation which produces
a lack of hind drive.
That said I was delighted with all my top winners & found many sound dogs who
were in the greater part well presented in clean, hard condition. I was more
than pleased with an entry of 64 dogs despite the breed politics (of which I was
previously unaware) absentees were inevitable due to the Siberian conditions but
I was pleased not to have too many.
I was very pleased to discover my BOB winner had gone on to BIS under Liz
Cartledge.
V (5)
1 Sutton’s Damai Master Benedict, b/t dog, spot on for size & of nice type,
nothing overdone, my notes say ‘neat & tidy all through’ which he is. Really
well presented & in lovely nick, moved with drive keeping a firm topline at all
times. BVIS; 2 Fossett’s Melminds Method In Madness via Brysdax, shaded red dog
in a bigger frame, decent head proportions, good reach of neck, moved soundly
but not the drive of 1; 3 Rees’ Phaeland North Light at Aquarelle. MPD (4)
1 Cook & Rhodes’ Bournder Regency Malachite, compact & low to ground b/t dog who
has yet to lengthen. Super head with dark eye of correct shape, decent reach of
neck & tidy front, well off for rib, good hind angulation. Needs to tighten &
settle in his topline but still a raw baby so has time on his side. BPD; 2
Duchesne’s Bronia Priam of Scandell, lovely clear red dog puppy, beautiful head
& expression, so sound & well made all through but sadly carrying a lot of
excess weight especially across his shoulders which affected his front movement
here; 3 Fossett’s Brysdax Second To None. PD (1)
1 Cheese’s Suecaseus Hamlet, b/t boy of good type, son of my veteran winner &
very similar except for being in a larger package. In good condition, moved
soundly. Handler just needs to gain a bit more confidence to bring out the best
in him. JD (2)
1 Boyle’s Zarcrest Hugo Boss, glorious dark shaded red boy with fantastic type &
ring presence, masculine yet elegant head with correct bite & huge white teeth,
terrific reach of neck running into textbook shoulders, super front & tight
feet, excellent length & depth of rib with sternum well back, strong loin &
really well made quarters. Absolutely excels on the move which he does with
style, showing a clean pair of heels & really driving off his hocks keeping a
strong topline at all times with a correctly set lashing tail. He had it all,
type, soundness, glamour & was beautifully presented as always from this kennel.
CC, his third, BOB & BIS in very good company, wish he was mine. PGD (7)
1 Wilson’s Rogermardax Senor Dougal, b/t, nicely presented in clean, hard
condition & of nice type, decent head & reach of neck, correct front & well off
for ribbing, firm topline & decent hindquarters, moved soundly but could have
easily gone up a gear. Sometimes impeded by his handler; 2 Wood’s Rogermardax
Jack Spratt, red, litter brother to 1, taller & not as well angulated otherwise
similar comments apply, moved soundly but not the topline of 1; 3 Hagan &
Borsuk’s Badamtam’s Wa Baltica at Follypaws. LD (10)
1 Booth & Elsley’s Abbalongdat The Visitor, glamorous red boy of lovely type,
super head & expression, terrific reach of neck, well laid shoulder & correct
front, excels in ribbing with sternum well back, strong loin & powerful rear
which he used here to really stride out, put down to the minute in fabulous
condition as were all this exhibitor’s dogs. Really liked him but he had given
up by the time we got to the challenge; 2 Cook & Rhodes’ Abydachs Rides The
Storm to Bournder, shaded red dog of really good type, lovely size, excels in
head where the American influence of his sire can clearly be seen. Clean neck &
tidy front, well off for ribbing & tidy rear. Moved soundly keeping a firm
topline, nice dog; 3 Elridge’s Metadale Morgen Hof. OD(3)
1 Clarke’s Aus Ch Laurieton His Master’s Voice by Tekalhaus, shaded red boy of
super type & size whom I really liked, not one I have seen before, presents a
really pleasing outline & so well made, elegant head of good proportions, dark
almond shaped eye, super reach of neck & well placed shoulders, the best of
fronts & well ribbed up, strong rear with decent length of second thigh, really
stepped out on the move showing super free & driving movement while maintaining
his topline at all times, beautifully presented & handled to advantage. RCC; 2
Marks’ Brynalyn Royal Warrior via Labbadax, dark shaded red dog of really nice
type, one can certainly see the Swansford influence here. Houndy head with clean
neck, tidy front & nicely ribbed. Not the hind drive of 1 but nonetheless sound
on the move with good topline. Felt his handler could have helped him a bit more
here; 3 Chapman’s Melminds Mr Magoo.
MPB (4)
1 Cook & Rhodes’ Bournder Ruby Empress, litter sister to winner of MPD & nothing
alike! Elegant shaded red bitch with more ground clearance than her brother & a
lot more together. Exquisite head, dark eye of correct shape, lovely reach of
neck, good front & super feet, nicely ribbed up with sternum well back,well made
rear which just needs to tighten but moved out really well. Raw but very
promising, really liked her. BP; 2 Marks’ Labbadax Carribean Queen, another nice
one, of similar type to 1 but lower to ground. Decent head, neck & front, well
constructed all through but rather apprehensive here so roaching a bit on the
move due to nerves; 3 Weston’s Gleneddee Liquorice Diva. PB (5)
1 Cheese’s Suecaseus Desdemona, b/t, litter sister to winner of PD & very
similar in all departments, in lovely condition. A little apprehensive but when
settled really moved out well. Nice puppy; 2 Chapman’s Melminds Metropolis,
shaded red bitch of nice type who was a real handful here, clearly she doesn’t
do apprehension! Really nicely constructed all through, just not the angles of
1; 3 Chappell’s Gleneddee Liquorice Chick. JB (4)
1 Harris’ Zarcrest Devil Wears Prada, dark shaded red bitch of lovely type,
litter sister to DCC winner & so like him in all departments really. Beautiful
head & expression with dark eye of correct shape, super reach of neck & layback
of shoulder, fabulous front & super ribbing, well angulated rear assembly & like
her brother really drives off her hocks enabling her to cover the ground
effortlessly keeping a firm topline all the time. RCC, am sure she will soon get
her crown, what a litter this must have been! Beautifully presented; 2 Burke &
Manston’s Bonavoir Serenity, shaded red bitch, of lovely type, pleasing head &
expression, good reach of neck & well placed shoulders, tidy front & well
ribbed, moved really well showing good hind drive; 3 Marks’ Labbadax Belladonna. PGB (14)
1 Booth & Elsley’s Abbalongdat Ms Marionette, super glamorous, red bitch, sired
by winner of LD & very like him in many ways being so well constructed all
through, scores in front & really excelled on the move here which won her the
class, beautifully presented; 2 Mitchell’s Bronia Louanna at Imirika, red bitch
in her underwear but much to commend her. Well constructed all through but could
be a bit tighter in front, moved really well keeping a level topline; 3 Ward’s
Bonavoir Isabella. LB (5)
1 Clarke’s Solo’s Billion Dollar Baby among Tekalhaus, shaded red bitch of
lovely type who caught my eye straight away, super sound & glamorous to boot &
all in a correctly sized package there is nothing overdone here. Glorious head
of great proportions, good reach of neck, super front with decent width, well
ribbed up with strong loin & well angulated rear, absolutely excelled on the
move keeping her topline at all times, looked like she could go all day. Put
down to the minute she looked a picture. CC, her second, hope she gets her 3rd
soon; 2 Booth & Elsley’s Abbalongdat Ice Queen, full sister to winner of PG &
again similar in type, longer & lower than 1 but couldn’t match her for stride
on the move here. Nonetheless a cracking bitch & no disgrace to stand behind
such a stunner; 3 Eve’s Dachslur Diamond Fancy Free at Sundayshill. OB (4)
1 Mitchell’s Ch Bronia American Liberty at Imirika, clear red bitch of decent
type with much to commend her, had been stripped down her front which made her
look like she could have done with more pro-sternum which in fact is not the
case! Tidily made all through & really moved out well; 2 Booth’s Abbalongdat I
Have A Dream, another lovely exhibit from this kennel, in lovely condition &
carrying her 6 years very lightly. So well made all through, just lost out to 1
on the move here; 3 Chapman’s Darsoms Ziana at Melminds.
