Exhibitors are to be congratulated on the cleanliness and presentation of their dogs. From a super entry of 119 from 90 dogs, I selected Harrison’s Ferndel Storyteller for Glenbrows JW as Best in Show. Tully’s Sh Ch Highclare Energizer was Best Opposite Sex and Reserve Best In Show. Best puppy was Ritchie and Bardgett’s Slapestones Rysaurin.’

DOG CLASSES
Judge’s comments: ‘It was an honour and a privilege to accept the invitation to judge Dogs at this, the 33rd, Championship Show. It was a stint that I eagerly looked forward to and I was not disappointed as I had a wonderful day. An ideal venue as it is easily accessible, with more than enough room to accomodate benching, an ultra-large ring, and an enthusiastic and attentive ringside. A warm and hospitable welcome from the Secretary Trudy Short who was backed up by a hard-working committee. I was going to say ‘cracking the whip’, but Bill (Short) confided that this was saved for the evenings! OK! It’s my sense of humour! There was the usual plethora of stands, welfare, raffle, and tombola all well-stacked with lots of goodies – my prize on the tombola? – a pair of red plastic dumb-bells! I’ll be back Arnold!!My thanks must go to the excellent stewarding of Bill Short, who efficiently kept me on the straight and narrow to finish in good time. I gather a few European visitors had an enforced stay at Dover due to a terrorist scare.

 

An excellent quality entry of 66 dogs with a smattering of absentees. There were still some foreign heads on view, round and protruding eyes, and most of all a lack of drive. Presentation was excellent and generally I was very satisfied with the entry. With 2 outstanding examples of the breed competing for BIS, there was bound to be nit-picking between Ann (Jones) and myself. Those who expected celtic histrionics were miffed when we affably agreed to leave the decision to Chairman and Refereee ‘Mad’ Maggie Mullins whose decision went to the elegant Sh Ch Highclare Energizer. We agreed whole-heartedly on the RBIS Ferndel Storyteller for Glenbrows JW and the BPIS Taimere’s Turnabout for Collinsmoore. As a footnote – who was the championship show judge who forcibly argued with me that the breed standard did not state that the neck was long and muscular?!! My thanks to the Club for the lovely hand-painted plate that I will treasure. The show was, in modern parlance, – ‘Bling, Bling’!!’

BITCH CLASSES
Judge’s comments: ‘Celebrating 20 years in the breed it gave me great pleasure to judge the bitches at the WSSC Championship Show. I had a few concerns: loose & runny eyes, movement, & underweight. Some toplines are beginning to look like setters; also ringcraft training would help some lovely bitches that could not be placed. BIS, on the referee’s decision (Mrs M Mullins) was Tully’s Sh Ch Highclare Energizer’

Junior Bitch (7 entries)
1st: Smith’s Isfryn Ghost Swift
  ‘RBB. Took my eye when she entered the ring & I wasn’t disappointed when going over her. Clean outline, firm throughout, well-muscled quarters. Deep rib, plenty of body, good bone & tidy feet. Moved true with purpose. Lovely young bitch.’
2nd: Gately’s Russethill Ribbon Lace
  ‘Quality youngster, not quite the bone of first. Plenty of body, super coat & condition. Movement could be a bit more positive.’

2nd: Tain’s Taimere’s Timeless

2nd: Howarth’s Arkview Tipsy Creek
  ‘Smaller frame than first, but good type, well-proportioned head, dark eye, would like a little more weight over loin to finish her. Moved well on firm tidy feet.’

Limit Bitch (10 entries, 3 absent)
1st: Hartley’s Ferndel Cameo
  ‘BB, RBIS. Not flashy but honest throughout. One of the soundest movers here, really driving from the rear. Good head & eye, strong neck, good shoulder placement, & well muscled quarters. To be critical could benefit from a little more weight over loin.’
2nd: Tully’s Highclare Energizer
  ‘Another good exhibit I have admired from the ringside; today she was carrying too much weight on her shoulders which spoilt the outline. In super coat, as always from this kennel first class presentation. True front movement, rear seemed to be twisting one hock.’
