Judge's Critiques

VD (1 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 762 NEVINSON, Mrs Anne Ch Chayo Golden Touch. Beautiful coated dog well up to size correct tail set and carriage, all male throughout excellent mover for 8 years looks great well prepared and presented.

PD (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 769 SMITH, Mrs J E & SMITH, Miss J CASH THE CHECK SHAMANROCK AT SNOWSHOES (Cze Imp). A very honest dog that is moderate, lovely balance throughout, very nice head well filled foreface, lovely to go over, good topline could have better tail carriage but moved out well in both directions.
2nd: 755 ELLIS – PAYNE, Mrs Sue Chayo Trust The Magic. Another really nice youngster with many attributes these two where hard to split at the moment but I felt the winner was more filled out in foreface and that was about it, moved well in both dirrections.

2nd: 761 DUNNING, Mrs N & Mr D Chayo Perfect Conditions. well made dog that is well up to size, being a little mischeavous today, good strong well filled head peice, hard condition but needs more ring training to gain advantage

PGD (2 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 758 HOLT, Ms L Freezefactor Savvy Affair @ Breconfrost. Nice dog but a bit overdone in head, however there where lots to like about him, he was very firm in front action with lovely bone and feet, good body parts, active mover in both directions. Well presented.
2nd: 761 DUNNING, Mrs N & Mr D Chayo Perfect Conditions. More compact than winner with an excellent tail set and carriage, good outline to view, little short of undercoat, well presented.

1st: 747 BRANDENBERG, Mrs Sandra & SMITH, Miss Sue Chayo It’s Kurt For Taronakits JW. A nice dog well up to size, pleasing head piece, strong neck with good ribbing stout loin, sporting a good jacket moved ok but tended to pin a little in front at times. Well presented.
2nd: 750 CLARKE, Mrs Corinna Libertia Red Rain at Whiteout (IKC) More compact than winner with an excellent tail set and carriage, good outline to view, little short of undercoat, well presented.

OD (5 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 767 SMITH, Mrs J E & SMITH, Miss J Snowshoes Who Dares Wins Quite a nice dog that was a touch out of coat, but coat comes and goes but construction is there forever, a very honest dog with lots to like, he has an excellent skull, good forehand and Lovley body, good mover with excellent tail carriage, well prepared and presented. condition,
2nd: 752 COPLEY-HOLLAND, Mrs K E & HUG, Dr & Mrs J E, R A Am Gr Ch ADAIR’N’HUG RYTHM AND BLUES. Another quality dog that catches your eye pushed the winner hard but not quite the head of winner, he had wonderful Prescence, good body parts, and one of the best rears going away, put down in pristine condition.

1st: 768 SMITH, Mrs J E & SMITH, Miss J Ch Snowshoes Aurora Borealis JW Sh.CM. I was totally amazed that you could get such a large breed looking like a four year old at 10 years old, she had the most wonderful head with the clearest of eyes and so feminine, she was a delight to judge, I was please that she took 2nd in the veteran group, well done.

PB (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 757 FORSEY, Mr Edward & FORSEY, Mrs Tate Muzoku charmed one. Quite a pleasant bitch but a little apprehensive and needs more socialising to give her more confidence. Very feminine to view, she was particularly good on the move and became better with time. Presented in good clean order.
2nd: 760 JELFS, Mrs K L Chayo High Jinx With Lapema. Not a bad youngster but needs to use tail to gain more advantage, quite feminine with a good outline, positive mover and well presented.

1st: 772 ZETTIN, Miss Francesca Mazurstar Mamba Berry. This bitch excited me ! because I though her so beautiful and correct and would not change anything about her and this could have been my CC winner her today, two factors came into this today, one she needs to mature a touch more and the other was when moving her in the challenge she could have gone a touch better, but this bitch will win CC in the UK that I am sure of.
2nd: 765 ROBB, Miss, Mrs, Mr T, R & A Icewolf Fendi L’Aquarossa. Unfortunate to meet winner today in such good form, quite well balanced but not as advanced, good on the move and gave a good performance but could have used tail to better advantage.

1st: 749 BROUARD, Mrs Nicola Anne Orsamals Cest Moi Fifi (IMP GKC) a very sound bitch with lots to like and she was in very hard condition throughout, good head piece, firm rear quarters when going away, topline a little level, good tail, moved well bothways.

OB (6 Entries) Abs: 3
1st: 754 ELLIS – PAYNE, Mrs Sue Ch Chayo Vasilisa. A very pretty bitch with plenty of maturity, excellent head with a good eye, strong forehand without detracting from her femininity balanced body in super condition, good mover in both direction, would have like the tail to be carried more over the back but without touching, pleased to see she took group 2 later in the day.
2nd: 756 FORSEY, Mr Edward & FORSEY, Mrs Tate Ch Muzoku You’re My Obsession. This was another good bitch that displays good breed type, feminine head piece , firm in forehand and pleasing rib, good carriage but to quite as firm as winner behind today.
