My thanks go to the Crufts committee for inviting me to judge my own breed at the show. Their hospitality was wonderful and I was treated exceptionally well.
My steward Mr Paul Hayes, worked tirelessly and was the most efficient Steward anyone could have and I thank him most Sincerely.
I thank all the exhibitors for their entry and I was delighted to have the opportunity to judge some lovely dogs.
I was of course, using the RKC breed standard as my template and one thing that stood out was the size of some of the exhibits. Since losing the scales size has begun to creep up and it was apparent that some of the entries were well above the ideal 4.5kg with a leniency to 5kg. Ironically, some exhibits lacked body and would have benefitted from more coverage and in some cases more muscle tone.
Without weighing, onecan only judge by eye, but having had the breed for 43 years, I can see when an exhibit is well over the required size. I bore this in mind but had to forgive it in some cases. The miniaturization must be considered when judging and breeding.
I temperament tested all the dogs and only a couple were reluctant to stand their ground which is excellent.
Mouths I found were generally good with correctly placed large, white teeth. However, a few had misplaced canines and a few had teeth that needed a clean!
Coats were, in general, very good, although some would benefit from better presentation, but that did not influence my placings either.
One worrying thing was hind action. Several exhibits were only moved halfway across the ring in order to try and disguise pinning in but this fault is a sign of weakness and although I did have to forgive it to some degree, It could not support the dog being placed higher.
Handling ranged from expert to needing further training. Again, this did not colour my judgement but some dogs would have shown to more advantage if handled better.
In summary, I was looking for a mini wire of the correct size, with a harsh wire coat, The height to length ratio of one to two and enough ground clearance without being too long on the leg.
I was highly delighted with my winners and enjoyed my day.
Good Citizen Dog Scheme Dog (2)
1st: SIEMINSKI Dallandor Burdock
Larger Wild Boar boy with good masculine head and correct dark almond eye. Good temperament, moved OK in profile but hind action could be neater, well off for bone and has good feet. Beat 2 on tail carriage.
2nd: KILROY Blackvein Cupid at Janacop
Better sized
Wild Boar with pleasing head and eye. Correct height to length ratio one to
two. Good harsh coat well presented. Shame he is so proud if his stern.
Minor Puppy Dog NO ENTRIES
Puppy Dog (6)

and kept his topline. Hind action will benefit from more muscle as he matures.
Perfect mouth. BPD & BPIB
2nd:RUSSELL Russteck Look No Further
Lovely type of Wild Boar with super proportions, slightly larger than first but still well within the range. Moved quite well up and down and kept his topline. Hope his mouth develops.
3rd: ZWOFERINK SCHUT Queenlord Take it Easy Mama.
Lovely red with super coat. Well balanced, but too big for me.

stronger hind action which cost him the class.
3rd: ROSE Ridanflight Gilcoru Gino
Red of
correct size, lovely head, eye and mouth. Super front and ribbing, just tucked
up too much in profile movement which spoilt the picture. Maybe he was cold? I
certainly was!

Limit Dog (3)
1st: CORNER Carcorn Raphael's Racer
Best in class for size, Wild Boar with good coat. Slightly fond of his stern but his stronger hind movement made up for this. Good head, could have more forechest, Good feet and legs. Correct height to length ratio. Level topline.
2nd:ROWBERRY Griffingate Crusader
Larger Wild
Boar, better moving that at the stack where he tucked up and didn’t co-operate.
Stronger hind movement than 3rd. Good head, tight elbows,would

1st: ROSE Ch Ridanflight Ricardo
To come back at 13.5 and take a Res CC in this company, is testament to how amazing this dog is! I gave him a CC and BOB in his youth. His great grandson took BOB today. Obviously his construction is correct throughout, but it was his movement that led to this award. He can still outmove many of the youngests today, What a credit to his Breeder/owner. RCC
2nd: MILLS- JONES Ch Carlita Sunrise JW
A worthy champion, Wild Boar in larger mould that first. Not quite the confidence or head carriage of the winner, but did enough to show off his good topline and pleasing construction.
