Many thanks to the committee for inviting me to judge their open show. After 19 months away from the show ring due to health, it was lovely to be back in a judging capacity and to see so many hounds that were new to me. Thank you to the exhibitors who entered and accepted their placings with good grace. Lastly thank you to my efficient steward Melissa who kept the ring running smoothly.

 

Minor Puppy Dog (1,0abs)

1st Havard’s Annavah Justify

Pleasing head and expression on this raw 6mth baby, he is compact and well made with good proportions and forehand.  Moved well in profile, needs time to mature and develop to complete the picture.

 

 

Puppy Dog (4,1abs)

1st Banks’ Forgebanks Santiano RBD & BPD

A lovely TW boy presenting a balanced & clean outline, shown in tip top condition. He has a masculine head with soft expression, good length of neck and well laid shoulders, super front assembly, well made throughout the body with good depth and spring of rib, level topline with well made hindquarters. Moves well in all directions with super reach and drive. Just wanted a bit more verve from him in the challenge.

 

2nd Lewis’ Fallowfield Romeo

Beautiful head with a super soft expression and kind dark eye on this compact tri boy. Reachy neck into well laid shoulders, super forehand and well made throughout with good depth & ribbing, well made hindquarters. Moved with super reach and drive.

 

Junior Dog (6,3abs)

1st Banks’ Forgebanks Santiano

1st in puppy dog

 

2nd Hardisty’s Blunderhall Jacks The Lad JW

Compact Tri with pleasing head proportions and soft expression with low set leathers. Sufficient neck, straight front, tight elbows and neat feet. He moved well, I would just prefer a touch more angulation front & back.

 

Yearling Dog (2,0Abs)

1st Lewis’ Fallowfield Fellman BD & RBIS

Another beautifully headed male from this kennel with a soft expression framed by low set leathers. He has a super front assembly, lovely length of neck into well laid shoulders.

Post Graduate Dog (1,0abs)

1st Bell-Thomas’ Amorpapaver Hercules

Pleasing head and expression on this tri male, sufficient length of neck, level top line, good depth of chest with tight elbows. Moved happily round the ring, just didn’t have the same reach and drive as his contender for Best Special Beginner.

 

Limit Dog (4,0abs)

1st Bridgeman & Logue’s Kubik Csiki Kopo at Kingswin (imp serb)

Smart looking TW dog with a clean outline in profile, he has good head proportions but is stronger than I prefer. Arched neck into a good lay of shoulder, well made throughout the body with ample fore chest, balanced fore and hind quarters, moved well with reach and drive, he really puts on a good performance. I would prefer a neater front.

 

2nd Hunt’s Bondlea Woodlark

My notes say “compact and bijou” and what a gem she is.

Arched neck into correct shoulders & upper arm, well made throughout her fore with good straight front, well boned, tight feet & elbows. Correct depth of brisket, well ribbed and short coupled. Well made hindquarters which she used to her advantage on the move covering the ground soundly with a stylish reach and drive. She didn’t put a foot wrong!

Different style to 1 still a nice size and balance to her, she has a sweet head and expression, good length of neck into well laid shoulders, good depth of chest, well ribbed and well angulated hindquarters. Giving her handler a hard time on the stack, but I did catch a glimpse of how she can showcase her lovely shape when not free stacked. She moved out accurately and freely.
