 Judges Critique

What a great atmosphere from all, probably due to the energy imparted by the committee, to make this a lovely show for all. How innovative to have a class for dogs not shown at Championship shows and fun classes, encouraging folk who love the breed, but don’t want to show their dogs. This makes for a day for all enthusiasts. Well done. I really enjoyed my time with you all and judging lovely dogs. Thank you.

BIS & BCC: Dunhill-Hall CH VORMUND NORMA JEAN. Headed a very rewarding class to judge. Her outline and bloom, draw you in. Close up there is nothing to disappoint; her head depicts the breed to advantage, forming a triangle from above and from the side view. Her small, dark eye gives the oriental outlook, coupled with well set ear and flat skull. Cheeks are full in proportion to head balance. Has strong underjaw through tapering muzzle. Strong flowing neckline through well laid shoulders, with depth and width of brisket giving H front. Topline is firm and level to good use of tail which shows correct length. She moves with smooth ease of gait displaying confidence. She shows no sign of ageing .

RBIS &DCC: Dunhill-Hall CH VORMUND IMAGINE DRAGON. Masculine, athletic, a class act. Notice in the catalogue, he is out of my BIS and can certainly see the family connection. Has that classic head. Masculine, shapely and clean with strength, balance of height to leg and firm outline. He uses himself with aplomb and economy. He had the maturity and full coat which secured him the CC.

BPIS: Dunhill VORMUND THE SIXTH SENSE. This 6 mth dog, again I see is out of Norma Jean! As it seems were all my four puppy winners, but there again, a clever breeder of some years, that have developed type, work with it, instinctively knowing their lines. Whilst he is obviously new out, he just has so much quality and balance. He emits a typical profile, has the most gorgeous head piece and his sound construction is shown when he performs with energy and true foot placement. Clear translucent colour and gleaming double coat.

RBPIS: Dunhill VORMUND DIAL M'FOR MURDER. What can I say - the female version of the male! She is cheeky (just what I want in a baby), with good head balance. Small dark bright eye obliquely set. Ears correctly placed and used to show alert expectation. Has body for age and leg to provide balance. Her tail is set and used well. Beautiful condition and coat.

BVIS: Bannister CH JANERYLS ELEKTRA. This 9 year old is impressive and was so close to higher honours. Whist feminine throughout, I was taken by her strength and condition. Has grand head strong neck to give carriage. Firm back with leg giving good proportions. Well padded feet. Lovely clear colour and bloom. She is up for all asked and goes with light fluid action.

I found all the veterans were in super condition and muscle with clean white teeth, which is all credit to exhibitors of this breed and the owners care for their charges.

MPD 1ST Dunhill-Hall & Rhodes VOMUND MEMENTO. Smart and composed. Lovely head with dark expressive obliquely set eye. Full cheeks, tapering foreface and correct stop. Small well set triangular ear. .Quality bone, front has width with straight well boned legs. Tail is of right set and carriage. Lovely coat and grand little mover.

PD 1ST VORMUND THE SIXTH SENSE - BPIS

JD 1ST Rushfirth HIKAYS TAKES THE BISCUIT. 13 mth, well grown chap. Compact with shapely outline. Balanced head with flat skull, small erect, ear used to display alert outlook. Full cheeks and balance of foreface. Has the required strong, yet clean neckline. Correct angulation in forequarters with width and depth of chest, thus correct H shape when viewed from front. Quality bone and good feet. Has developed ribs and strong loin giving level back to good set on and carriage of tail. Has width behind. Is lithe in action and has propulsion. Obviously not quite the maturity and not in his best jacket to take the top award today, but his overall quality and style, deemed he could not be denied the res CC.

YD 1ST Bostock & Armstrong JUST TAKE MY HEART TO RUTHDALES. Still a youngster at 14 mths. Very appealing head piece, with the ratio from occiput to stop –stop to end of muzzle providing the right for the breed. Flat skull, triangular ear in balance to eye which give the oriental shape and confident look. Needs to develop a touch in neck, level back. Decent quarters and tail. In lovely double coat with stiff top coat. He has type, just needs to grow on.

PGD 1ST Marriott SHKASHINO BLACK ROXS AT JARSHIMAR 2 year old with decent head type. Good bone, has spring of rib and depth with forechest. Holds his firm topline, when moving, showing positive action. Feet need to tighten and would just like a touch shorter loin, although well muscled.. 2ND. WATSON & WATSON-BRYANS, MARILOUVALE’S TOP GUN. Flat skull with decent ear .Dark well placed and set eye. Full cheeks, could be stronger in foreface. Masculine with good bone.

OD WHITE NO ENTRIES.

OD BLACK & TAN 1ST Sharrock WE-SEDSO ENJOY FOR NAROCKA This 6 year old was 3rd. in the good open class. He is pleasing for type with good balance throughout. A touch round in eye for me and not the best feet, but nit-picking and has qualities. 2ND. Best-Rawlings OJI SHOTARO DEL CAZADORA BLANCA WITH TRIXWOOD. Fit and strong, could have better feet, and not quite the head piece of winner. Just looking a touch rangy. Good personality and presented in good order. 3RD H.DREAM WITH MELAVES.

VD All show good condition, health and clean white teeth, well looked after. 1ST Watson & Watson-Bryans CH. MARILOUVALE’S SURFER BOY . A lovely type with quality throughout. Masculine with correct angulation both ends. Thus he goes with true footfall and economical gait. This chap fulfils the standard well and easy to see why he has his title. 2ND. Black & Black-Bunce TRIXWOOD ANOTHER HERO AMONG ZAANDAM. Pleasing head with the required oriental outlook. Good use of small pointed, well set ear. Good bone. Perhaps not quite the angulation of winner, therefore a touch shorter stride ,but balanced both ends so correct out and back. 3RD. Fitzakerly BEARPARK BASHKA.

MPB 1ST Dunhill VORMUND FATAL ATTRACTION. Just 6 months, but so very pretty. Loved her head great eye shape, super pigmentation. Full cheeks. Her construction and outline is just right for type. She is well balanced and in lovely body for her tender age, in fact a lovely Shiba in miniature, coupled with gentle handling which has developed her confident personality. Will surely make a name for herself in time. 2ND Black & Black-Bunce TRIXWOOD BE AMY’S DREAM OF ME. Very nice, well grown 8 month girl. Very sound, honest sort. Just not quite as sweet in expression as the winner, but informative years, growth rates makes a difference .3RD. Marriott AMIVIKE’S MIA MAJIC AT JARSHIMAR.

PB What a lovely class of promising youngsters. 1ST Dunhill VORMUND DIAL M FOR MURDER - RBPIS 2ND Dunhill VORMUND BUTTERFLY EFFECT. This one shares the family resemblance, but is not as forward as the winner. Needs to drop and fill in brisket.

JB 1ST Watson & Watson-Bryans MARILOUVALE’S MAKING MAYHEM. Stands out for balance. Good depth and leg length. Compact body with level topline and tail on top carried with confidence.

YB ABSENT

PGB 1ST Bannister OSHIMA NO KUROTORAME GO. Feminine, tidily made girl. Decent enough in head, but would like smaller, ear and rather wide set. Short strong, clean muzzle. Strength in neck and of length to give good carriage. Correct H front from good angulation and brisket. Firm back. In good body and coat. Does her job to advantage and this helped secure her win. 2ND Mothersdale AMIVIKE’S WITH A TOUCH OF INK. Pretty little bitch, feminine but not weak. Has type in head and good outline.

OB 1ST Dunhill-Hall CH. VORMUND NORMA JEAN. Don’t know if I have ever been over this 6year old before ,but certainly ,today she wowed me. As I turned to look at this class she just took my attention.
