Judge's Critiques
I would like to thank the committee of Darlington Dog Show Society for the invitation to award my second set of tickets in my chosen breed and for their superb hospitality. I would also like to thank my very efficient steward Donald Panton who singlehanded ran the ring.
The day started with a frost in the early morning and this drop in temperature seemed to awaken the spirit to run as a lot of the dogs gave their handlers a hard time. Having seen this in my own dogs over the years it just made me smile & I was glad I was judging & not handling on the day.
VD 1(0)
1.Croft Dreamwolves Oh My Oh My. 7yr old substantial male with good bone. A broad head, dark eye, correct bite & small well furred ears. Tight feet & short pasterns, just enough length in loin leading on to good rear angulation. Moved with drive carrying his tail as a waving plume. BV.
PD 1(0)
1. Facer Chayo Unlock the Power.11 month old well built dog. Dark eye & pigment. Straight front with large tight feet. Good length of body with moderate rear angulation. In good coat. Quite exuberant but moved well showing off his waving plume.
JD 2(0)
1. Morris Chayo Top Gun 11 month old with plenty of bone. Dark eye, thick well furred ears. Good reach of neck. Strong front & tight feet. Correct body proportions, good rear angulation & well let down hocks. Moved with drive if a little unsettled at times. BP
2. Gibson. Boreal Routes conundrum For Ahtohallan (Imp Swe) Slightly lighter in bone. Head starting to mature with a dark eye & a slight stop. At 14 months old this boy was already in hard working condition with plenty length of leg for when he matures. He had a harsh coat & was well balanced on the move. Just needs time to fill out.
LD 2(0)
1. Snow Legend Zenith of Fame Nordicwinds (Imp Rus) JW 3 yr old sable. Dark eye, Head could mature a bit more. Body of good proportions & angulation, which gave him plenty of power in the rear movement. Profuse coat but well presented.
2. Bogle Whitewalker Kings Landing at Valknut.6yr old mature male. Slightly smaller in build & stature but in hard condition. Moved well & carried a waving plume.
OD 6 (2) A fabulous class with all four dogs matching the breed standard so well, so just had to split hairs for the final placings.
1 Jelfs Ch Lapema Malizioso. Fully mature 5 yrs old, heavily boned & carrying himself with all the dignity of the breed. Strong head, dark eye, small well furred ears. Parallel front onto tight feet with thick pads. Strong in loin with powerful rear movement. Topped with a waving plume DCC
2. Ellis-Payne Chayo Trust the Magic. Lighter in build as one would expect from a dog of just 2 years of age. Beautiful head with bulky muzzle yet free from coarseness. Well balanced with good rear angulation that gave him a powerful action when settled, with a super ground covering stride. Good tail. Res DCC
3.Page Ch Snow Legend Believe in You Cedarcreek (Imp Rus )Another well boned dog but not the ring presence of the first two, good angulation & moved out well.
PB 2(0) 1, Patrick Okinastar Destiny Calling at Coldasice 10 month old seal & white. Feminine head, dark eye & scissor bite. Would like to see more bone. Harsh coat. Good angles front & rear if a little long in body, moved out well.
2.Elliot & Thompson. Muzoku My Girl Same birthday as no. 1 Smaller in overall size but better off for bone. Pretty head, but her coat is long & soft. Slightly low on front pasterns. Moved ok when she got going.
JB 4(0)
1. Sheehan Powderhound’s Sparks Will Fly at Amaqqut 16 month well made girl with enough bone & a good reach of neck. Thick well furred ears, dark eye & correct bite Plenty of length to body & good rear angulation made for an easy sidegate.
2.Hooley Bartkennels Ljosalfar Feminine head with a dark eye, Good proportions, would just like to see a lot more bone & substance. Harsh coat & moved ok.
3.Hooley Bartkennels Magic Soho Litter sister to no.2 & has a bit more substance but didn’t move quite a fluently as 1, tail a bit tight.
PGB 1(0) 1. Jelfs Chayo High Jinks with Lapema at only 19 months of age there is plenty more to come from this girl. Out of coat & hiding nothing. A well balanced frame with good length of leg & depth of chest. Moderate angles throughout Made for an easy ground covering gate.
LB 4(2)
1.Copley-Holland Katabatics Troubleshooter JW 17 month old substantial girl with good bone. Head developing nicely with a dark eye, good width of chest, straight front on to big feet. Harsh coat & good tail, moved out ok. Had to take a second look at her in the Res CC challenge but preferred the length of leg of the winner.
2.Bogle Cahppes Tailwind Takala at Valknut (ImpSwe) 4 yrs old of smaller type & finer bone. Pretty facial marking but not quite the required width of skull. She had a good reach of neck & was shown in fabulous condition with tight feet & a harsh coat.
OB 5(1) 3 lovely bitches which again made for some hard decisions
1.Ellis-Payne Chayo Distinctive. Pretty bitch just coming up to four years old & into her prime albeit just hanging onto her coat on the day. Thick well furred ears & good reach of neck, straight front & big feet, good length of leg & balanced angles which gave her a powerful side gate. BCC & BOB
2.Phoenix Snow Legend Be My Lucky Nordicwinds (Imp Rus) JW 6 year old & fully mature with good breadth of skull. Thick well furred ears if a little on the large side. Good length of leg & large feet. Good angulation. Moved with purpose. Res BCC
3.Page Ch The Magician Bloody Mary Cedarcreek(Imp It) A lovely bitch of smaller type but with plenty of bone & substance. Slightly shorter in body, so couldn’t match the drive of the first two. Beautifully presented,
Anne Nevinson
