Dogs Thank you for asking me to judge at this lovely show. The venue and hospitality were excellent and the committee did a very good job. Thanks also to the exhibotors for brining their lovely hounds for me to judge. Overall I found the dogs in good condition and most were well prepared with beautiful coats. Heads were mostly good, teeth clean and feet were excellent and well trimmed. I was trying to select the shorter more compact hounds who could move correctly and was really pleased with the line up for the challenge, when they came into the ring and also with my Veteran winner who later went RBIS. My CC, BOB and BP winner I felt was outstanding and he went on to BIS. MP. (3). 1. Boyle's, Zarcrest Hugo Boss. Red. Quality baby with good head and reach of neck. Well constructed shoulders leading to excellent ribbing and sound quarters on the back. Correct outline on the move and as he went around he drove well. Just needs to tighten a little on the front as he matures and should be very promising. 2. Marks', Labbadax Beaumentia. Red. Nice puppy with good head, but not quite the front construction of winner. Will be interesting to see how he matures. Would also prefer a stronger topline but again could improve with maturity. Moved well around the ring. 3. Wren's, Zarcrest Calvin Klein Betwixt Thebalicious. P. (5). 1. Mitchell's, Bronia Larenzo. This dog has everything I was looking for and had great presence in the ring. Bost of heads with good expression with well laid shoulders and correct ribbing. He was correctly angulated at both ends, yet compact in his overall length. He was true coming and going. Held his outline well at all times. Drove around the ring. To complete the picture he had a fabulous coat is shades of gold and I was pleased to award him the CC and BP and together with my co judge he later was BIS and BPIS. 2. Cooper, Steadman and Hendren's, Darsoms Zethro. Red. This was a lovely puppy who needed t lose some weight. Quality all through with good ribbing and shoulder placement. Moved a little close coming towards, but felt he should mature well. 3. Pankhurst and Marsh's, Marshwick Black Boots. J. (3). 1. Johnson's, Africandawns Rumour Rumble. Well balanced red dog with good head. Nice layback of shoulder and good ribbing. Had nicely angulated quarters and stepped out well and had a super outline when his tail was down. Looked nice in the challenge. 2. Woods', Rogermardax Jack Spratt. This puppy was much more settled in this class but a little more training would enable him to show himself off and have more confidence, enabling the judge to assess his movement properly. 3. Morris's, Swansford Eminentador. N. (2). 1. Johnson's, Africandawns Night Hawk. Nice s/red. Lovely head and overall outline. Just not as much forechest as I would prefer but has time to mature. Moved really well and drove around nicely. 2. Cooper, Steadman and Hendren's, Darsoms Zethro. PG. (6,1). 1. Duchesne's, Darsoma Zane of Scandell. Another quality balanced dog with good overall classical shape. Correct shoulders and nicely ribbed. Good head and reach of neck. Moved easily around the ring with lovely topline and outline at all times. 2. Negus's, Tecklehaus Licence to Kill with Tarramist. Red. Similar in type to winner, just not quite the angulation on the hocks but good front and well ribbed. Moved well. 3. Booth and Elsley's, Abbalongdat the Visitor. L. (8). 1. Marks', Bryn Alyn Royal Warrier via Labbadax. S/r. Lovely head and reach of neck. Correct front and ribbing and good angulation on the back end. Strode out well on the move, maintaing a good topline. 2. Hutton's, Rolo Rascal over Dachalune. Nicely constructed quality dog. Just not the hindquarters of winner. Moved well, good coat. 3. Yennan's, Bronia Judas Kiss at Cheguevar. O. (3). 1. Mitchell's, Ch. Bronia Lotario. S/r super dog. Lovely head. Good reach of neck and correct fornt and shoulder placement. Ribbing excellent and his movement was balanced as he kept his lovely outline at all times. A lovely specimen of this breed and in immaculate condition. RCC. 2. Dares', Darsoms Zyjack. Well constructed hound and beautiful to go over with everything in the right place. Would just like him a little smaller, if I could choose but he is so lovely and so sound that he should do well. 3. Negus Tarramist Adonis Dream. SpO BLACK/TAN (4). 1. McNaughton's, Cedavoch Kaballah. Lovely quality type and size. Correctly assembled on both front end and back quarters. Lovely head and beautiful coat. Moved truly. Good outline, stood out in this class. 2. Hutton's, River Rumpus Through Dachalune. Quality b/tan who moved out well. Good construction on the front end but not the hind angulation of winner on back, but a nice dog. 3. Sutton's, Damai Master Benedict. SpO AOC (3). This was a difficult decision between frirst and second. 1. Dare's, Ch. Bronia Salvador of Darsoms. S/r super quality dog. Well deserved Champion who was correctly assembled throughout. Moved superbly not putting a foot wrong and looked a picture on the move. 2. Mitchell's, Ch. Bronia Absolute. S/r. Same comments as winner apply. Another top quality hound who was lovely to go over. Nothing to choose between them really so in the end I chose winner because it was a little more compact and a little shorter in length. 3. Dunbar's, Bronia Fernando. V. (5). 1. McNaughtons', Ch. Cedavoch Bewitched. 8 years old s/r. This lovely bitch has classic lines with correct construction all through. She was in perfect condition and showed beautifully and went on to a well deserved BV overall and RBIS 2. Booth and Isleys', Ch. Darsoms Zarrival with Abbalongdat. Another lovely bitch aged 9 years who was well put together and who moved well and shown in lovely condition. Just not tht topline of winner but very nice. 3. Sutton's, Damai Master Benedict. MINIATURE LONG HAIRED V. (6,3). 1. Burge and Rossiters', Rafthouse Rainbows End at Creekpit. 7 year old quality b/tan. Correctly assembled on the front and back, looking a picture on the move. 2. Jamieson's, C/Ir Ch. Djeata Riven Within the Ring. 10 year old quality b/tan. Correctly assembled all through. Moved well but not as tight in elbow as winner and not the topline but enjoyed his day. 3. Earley's, Yelva Lady Wilhelmina to Warway.
