Best Of Breed | Danehaven Kovik | Collins & Powley |
Thanks very much to my friendly steward, Sue Worrell, who kept everything flowing. The ring was large so the exhibits had plenty of space to move.
Puppy Dog or Bitch (2 entries)
1st | Powley GABERLUNZIE PARSNIP Good size, well fitted coat, pleasing head and expression, nice spring of rib, good tail set and carriage, strong rear, was a little lack lustre when moving |
2nd | Collins & Powley DEVERON DUCHESS OF DANEHAVEN Slightly finer in bone and longer in body but very alert and attentive to handler, sweet head with well placed ears, good bend of stifle, just needs to settle down a little on the move |
Special Yearling Dog or Bitch
1st | Chapman KATIMBA TREBBIANO AT DKAI Rich coat colour, eyes perhaps a shade lighter than coat colour, very powerful mover with good reach and drive and tail carried correctly high on the move, feet could be tighter but very well handled and a true showman. |
2nd | Fincham DANEHAVEN RALPH Good coat presentation, high set triangular shaped ears, flesh coloured nose and eye rims, eyes almond shaped, good depth of chest, could do with more muscle on rear quarters. |
3rd | Tester GINGAFING AINT NO WAY |
Limit Dog or Bitch
1st | Collins & Powley DANEHAVEN KOVIK Well up to size with a masculine and slightly wedge shaped head, good bone, nice front and rear angulation, wouldn't want him to carry any more weight over the shoulders, a real strong mover in all directions and carrying tail high which finished off the picture |
2nd | Tester GINGAFING CARELESS WHISPER Nice clean outline on this smaller but longer Toller, well presented and attractive white markings, appeals in head, good eye set and shape and high ears of good shape. Just tended to throw her front on the move |
3rd | Chapman DECOYMANS THE DREAMWORKER |
Open Dog or Bitch
1st | Powley CHRILIKAS EVENTYRLIGE EGON (IMP NOR) Balanced boy just lacking coat and a little on the thin side, but a very nice head and expression, very alert to handler, good bone, tight feet, level topline and moved well with typical jaunty action. |
2nd | Tester GINGAFING LET'S GO CRAZY Proportions were a little long and low for me on this girl but with a good reach of neck, level topline which she held on the move and tail nicely carried up too. |
