Reserve Best Of Breed | Melanitta Palmata JW | Ward |
Graduate Dog or Bitch (5 entries)
This was a difficult class to judge with much variation
1st | Hughes EUSANIT GEM STONE AT ABACOT clear winner for overall balance, movement & proportions – presenting a compact appearance in outline. Appealing head with slight wedge shape, kind eye, deep chest, good spring of rib, in good condition. Moved the best in the class with strength through the limbs right through to the pasterns; |
2nd | Phelps REDFOXTOR BLYSTRA BAY sound with good spring of rib, excellent depth of chest, strong through the loin, so attentive to handler which was lovely to see. Preferred the movement of 1 |
3rd | Vaughan ROSETTIA RED DEVIL OF VALSANNRA |
Res | Palfrey EUSANIT WILD ATLANTIC WAY |
VHC | Roberts CHAMAREL WINNIPEG AT EXETOLLERS |
Open Dog (6 entries)
Quite a variation amongst exhibits
1st | Hipkiss ERIKACHEN O'RUADH FOR DELTANDAMBA JW SHCM SHCEX appeals standing with compact appearance, well laid shoulders, level topline & well bent stifles. He is masculine without being coarse. Nice head with slight wedge shape, strong through the loin, rich red coat colour, moved well. To top it all, he shows very well & is presented in good condition – both in muscle quality & coat; |
2nd | Ward MELANITTA PALMATA JW appeals in head, correct appearance being compact with level topline, good depth of chest, well bent stifles, moved well through strong rear pasterns. Not so engaged in his job as 1 |
3rd | Vaughan KATIMBA MALVASIA OF VALSANNRA |
Res | Fuard TOLLELKIN BAY OF ICE |
VHC | Dee MELANITTA CARELINUS |
Open Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)
1st | Hipkiss AFONBACH FIRST SIGN O' SPRING AT DELTANDAMBA JW appealing head with slight wedge shape, correct length of back with level topline, good rear angulation. I would prefer a little more depth of chest & width to her foreribs; |
2nd | Dee EUSANIT HOT TOTTY JW has a nice shape when standing with a compact appearance & level topline, well laid shoulders. Not as sure on the move as 1 |
3rd | Roberts CHAMAREL WINNIPEG AT EXETOLLERS |
