SMOOTH-HAIRED

 My sincere thanks to all concerned for making this a pleasant and interesting day. The breed seems to be in good hands at the moment. The overall quality was good. My main concern was hindquarters, in some cases cow hocks were alarming and gave a weak and swaying hind action. I think in a long backed, deep keeled breed the conformation of hindquarters is of prime concern. I found this problem mainly in the young dogs. The bitches were consistently sound. There were a few suspect bites but heads, fronts, shoulders, feet, ribcages and level backs will stand the breed in good stead for the future. In my two CC winners I found real quality and was pleased to learn that the dog BOB was shortlisted in a strong Hound group. The bitch CC was just into Junior, was an absolute gem and I shall be watching her progress with great interest.

PD (6,1) 1 Walkley’s Churchoak Red Adair. Good lay of shoulders and a sound front with a nice keel. A little apprehensive which time will help. Sound hind action. 2 Cooper and Kerry’s Sontag Sir Cumference of Kireton. Similar remarks to the winner. Just preferred the quarters of 1. Nice ribcage. 3 Armstrong’s Lauralee Golden Boots.

JD (3,1) 1 Walkley’s Churchoak Cardinalsin. Very pleasing character. Super front assembly with a nice head and feet. Level topline. 2 Norton’s Matzell Master Mariner.  B/T of smaller frame and a little loose all over. Controlled road work might help. 

PGD (6,1) 1 Eales’ Lauralee the X Factor. Very nice b/t. Good and well carried head. Shoulders well placed and best hind action. 2 Jeffery’s Rosenket Heir Apparent at Andax. Another one of quality. Similar remarks to the winner and ran him very close. 3 Jones’ Adnerbs Mystification.

LD (7,1) 1 Punter’s Welcumen Kiss Me Quick. Liked this well balanced b/t. Has excellent quarters used well on the move. Shoulders, head and feet all up to standard. 2 Hunt’s Carpaccio Black Sabbath. Nice type with proud head carriage. His hind action could be stronger. 3 Tite and Eales’ Lauralee Role of Honour via Rijobeau.

OD (4,1) 1 Armstrong’s Ch Lauralee Lloyd George. A strong class of three worthy Champions. The winner has balance and qualoty in all departments. Dog CC and I was pleased to know he was shortlisted in a very strong group. 2 Cooper’s Ch Sontag Simon le Bone. JW. Excellent front assembly. Ran the winner very close. 3 McCarthy’s Ch Seatris Laced with Success.

PB (11) 1 Cooper’s Sontag Celia Fate. Super class of promising young ladies who will change places often, I am sure. The winner has elegance, balance, a sweet head and excellent hind action. Should go far. 2 Walkley’s Churchoaks Modesty Blazes. Pleasing youngster with very sound front assembly. Moved with assurance. 3 Hunt’s Carpaccio Precious Pearl. 

JB (6,1) 1 Norton’s Matzell Maid of Honour.  A really stunning young lady, so feminine. Not overdone in any department and I couldn’t take my eyes off her. Her composure and elegance were overwhelming. I had no hesitation in awarding her the CC. 2 Jesse’s Hampdach Mistical. Was unlucky to come up against the winner. She too has quality all over. 3 Jones’ Matzell Moon’s Maiden Voyage with Indizak.

PGB (3) 1 Jones’ Phaeland Secret Diva to Adnerb. Won this class easily. Her feet could be tighter but a good ribcage, strong back and excellent hind action won her through. 2 Britt’s Undeg Starlight von Ryepiece. Pretty b/t. Lovely head and sound movement. 3 Davis’ Adnerb’s Be Friended. 

LB (5,1) 1 Rawson and Walkley’s Churchoak Chit Chat with Rosenket. Super front assembly, feminine head, good feet and turn of stifle. 2 Bethel’s Hampdach Alinga. Has a nice head, carried proudly. A little narrow in front but used her quarters in her good movement. 3 Mitchell’s Dubreys Dora the Explora.

OB (3) 1 Armstrong’s Lauralee Single Girl. Full of quality with excellent front assembly. Good ribs, strong level  back, sound positive movement. Just lost out to the youngster by a narrow margin. Res CC. 2 Rawson’s Laurtom First Edition from Sunhaze. Sound with a good neck and shoulders, nice length. Just lost out to the winner’s excellent movement. 3 Adams’ Rosanport Cracklin Rosie.
