OPEN SHOW

4^th October 2009, Bitches Critique

JUDGE: Mr T TAYLOR

Veteran Bitch 2

1^st Leyland`s, Fieldstaff Lighting Star – 10 year old standard red bitch who stood like a trooper. Nice head shape, straight front, short back giving good balance. A little overweight but she moved better than second coming and going. BVB

 

2^nd Essex`s, Rowellstaff Top Hatter with Javawolf – Beautifully conditioned 7 year old red and white bitch. A lighter bitch all round and quite appealing for style, she was beaten on balance and movement.

Minor Puppy Bitch 2 (1)

1^st Matthews & Jones`s, Gallanstaff Precious Gift – Very pretty headed baby with a lovely expression. Raw in the body and still a lot to fall into place as it should do with a little time.

Puppy Bitch 6

1^st  Stanway, McCulloch & Russell`s, Waystaff Dutch Pearl – Appealing headed white puppy who for me, excels from the neck back over. Lovely balance throughout and made well. She moved very well in the class but was startled at the end by the PA system. I hope it doesn’t bother her in the future. BPB

2^nd Payton`s, Sunnystone Party Girl at Tonpay – Bigger bitch than the winner with a bit more bone and substance. Not the balance in her make up hence her place here.

3^rd Woolliscroft`s, Hillanvale Orange Princess

Junior Bitch 4 (1)

1^st Sheldon`s, Crossguns Maddy – Bog standard black brindle bitch. Nicely headed with the correct proportions although a bit lippy. Nicely bodied up. She move erratically but I managed a glimpse that she was sound which secured her place over the second on general balance.

2^nd Payton`s, Sunnystone Party Girl at Tonpay

3^rd Kent`s, Domaine Juliette

Yearling 4 entries 2 absent

1^st Dewar`s, Mintmar One For One – Really nice bitch who ticked most of the boxes for me. Smashing head shape with a great expression, you could see the devilment in her face. Nicely bodied and balanced both fore and aft. I do think however she is a bit longer cast than she should be but this didn’t detract from her overall. Moving was a bit of epic – she did eventually get the hang of it and I think that she has a different idea on behaviour than her handler. Keep with it she is worth the effort RBB.

2^nd Bullock`s, Shining Star Supremo – Standard black brindle bitch with decent head shape but lacks a bit foreface. Straight front supported on good feet. Adequate bend of stifle, she moved well enough fore and aft but lost her topline.

Novice Bitch 2 (2)

 

Graduate Bitch 2

1^st Dewar`s, Mintmar One For One

2^nd Payton`s, Sunnystone Party Girl at Tonpay

 Post Graduate 1

1^st Ackley`s, Rosegold Tasha’s Angel – Substantial bitch and a lot of girl all round. Large skull and badly undershot. Well off for bone and turned out in cracking order.

Mid Limit Bitch 3

1^st Foster & McDonald`s, Tusselstaff Black Fury – Lovely headed black brindle with an expression to die for. Liked her overall make and shape but again a bit long cast. She moved really well both fore and aft and was in the shake up at the death.

2^nd Rhodes`s, Jayneze Midnight Requiem – Bang standard black brindle with a shorter back and coupling than the winner. However, she didn’t match 1 in head or body properties.

3^rd Essex`s, Javawolf Mogwai

Limit Bitch 6 (2)

1^st Patrick`s, Trawden Jet Black at Paljaz – Brindle bitch who was pleasing all round. Nicely ribbed with a good front and back end. She beat second on her more compact body and cleaner head.

2^nd Martin`s, Lisa’s Lucky Charm at Alvis – Red and white, another pleasing bitch who just wasn’t as clean in the head as required. Lovely front and good bend to her stifle. Beat 3rd on her better movement.

3^rd  Stanway & Albutt`s, Crashkon Pussy Cat Doll. 

Open Bitch 6 (1)

1^st Johnston & Brown`s, Tusselstaff Little Cracker – And what a little cracker she is! Easily the winner of this class and BB here today. Smashing head shape clean and defined throughout. Super fronted supported on good feet, nicely ribbed and short in the back and coupling. She is a tad overangulated behind. Only thing lacking for me is a bit of animation and enthusiasm but that is never going to detract from her qualities. BIS.

2^nd Wild`s, ildstaff Jo Black – Bigger bitch than the winner and a bit more coarse throughout. Good skull size with a broad muzzle and strong underjaw. Not as balanced in the body as the winner but moved soundly.

3^rd Cordwell`s, Waystaff Strikes Twice.
