Critique

May I thank all the exhibitors for their entries and very low absentee rate, I believe with one exception all were dogs I had never judged before.

Overall a pleasing entry on the move nearly all was sound but only a few were displaying the required drive that the standard asks for.

Handling and presentation on more than one could also be improved, with attention to that some decisions could have been different.

 

Puppy Dog

1st Vanders Vita Di Riley Con Crosswest

10 month old nicely put together puppy pleasing head dark eyes good depth of chest. Moved ok in class much better to take best puppy and came into his own in puppy group ring making good use of large ring.

Delighted to see him get puppy group 3.

 

Junior Dog

1st Oldstone Snow Wizard

Really good young dog not overdone in any way. Good angulation all round moved well to take a good class. Only needs time to be pushing for top honours.

2nd Taniswood Dirty Dancer at Courtdown

Unlucky to meet 1 he has a nice head well constructed in front good tail set, moved soundly would just like a bit more flair.

3rd Casafelice Elliotdale at Forestpoint

 

Post Graduate Dog

1st Spyfire Priceless

Not quite the head type I prefer he is  short coupled with good angulation front and rear

Moved ok to take this class.

2nd Kelliziot River Legend

Bigger dog all through liked his head has nice dark eye. Front and rear angulation was ok sound on the move, just more of him than I prefer.

 

Open Dog

1st Sh Ch Casafelice Aries Merino

Mature dog now approaching his best pleasing head neck and shoulders level top line leading into a nicely angulated rear end. Sound on the move did enough to win class and take best dog and best opposite sex.

2nd Castlefenny Drummers Lad

Good honest R&W good in front and rear short level top line moved out well just beaten by extra finish of 1.Reserve best Dog

3rd Kellizlot Master Merchant

 

Puppy Bitch

1st Caispern Maid in Ireland

Pretty bitch dark eye good colour would prefer better shoulders movement on the day not what I was looking for.

 

Junior Bitch

1st Oldstone Ice Maiden

Nice bitch in lovely coat head correct for her age she has soft expression that many are loosing. Short coupled has good angulation at rear moved out well very promising.

 

Post Graduate Bitch

Difficult class neither bitch going well.

1st Shannonlee The Rock Wren

Basically a very good well constructed bitch that needs to loose weight have better coat presentation and be more at one with her handler. Showed enough correct movement to win class moved much better in bitch challenge.

2nd Coolfin Molly Malone

Larger good honest bitch correct neck and shoulders moved well when she finally settled, left her coat at home.

 

Open Bitch

Best class of the day close decisions

1st Sh Ch Shannonlee The Skylark JW

Nice bitch of the type and size I prefer. Well angulated and good construction all thro. Good head with soft expression, on the move had the reach and drive I was looking for and the standard asks for. I really would prefer better coat presentation then I believe she could go even further than she has. Delighted to give her best bitch and best of breed.

2nd Sh Ch Courtdown Beautiful Dawn

Another good one nothing to really dislike pleasing head good colour good angulations. Her movement was sound if she could find the drive of 1 could have gone even further. Reserve Best Bitch
