BATH CANINE SOCIETY

29th May 2016

Many thanks to the Secretary and Committee of Bath Canine Society for giving me the opportunity to award my first set of tickets. Big thanks to the stewards who had a long stint ahead of them and a big thanks to those that entered and showed their dogs in beautiful condition.

Minor Puppy Dog (1)

1st Holmes Lisjovia Takahashi, lovely start to the day, delightful little character of just 6 months, well-proportioned head, pleasing tight dark oblique eye, well set ear, good overall shape, pleasing bone and substance throughout, nice short, strong loin, elbows could be tighter, moves out with nice playful, keen attitude. BPD

Puppy Dog (2)

1st Holmes Lisjovia Takahashi, as above

2nd Henson & Dearman’s Shiresoak Nanook, boy with gorgeous colouring and lovely masculine, broad well-proportioned head, slight roman nose, beautiful eyes and pigment. Tall lad and could have a little more bone overall. Needs to come together moving, he’s a big lad and will take some time. Has a bit of a tendency to turn out the right foot at times. Attractive, handsome lad.

Junior Dog (4:1)

1st Well’s Sketrick Odin, lad of lovely size, pleasing moulded head, lovely dark almond eye, black pigment, lips looking a little loose today, but if was a very warm day, pleasing markings and colour, stands with proud bearing, nice tight feet, could move better, as tending to cross a little on rear at times today.

Post Graduate Dog (3:1)

1st Spier’s Belshanmish Yellow River, good sized lad, lovely proud head carriage, good feet and lovely ear set, excellent pigment, little loose in lips, correct stop, has pleasing overall shape standing, not moving as cleanly as I would like today.

2nd Carter’s Jumicar Snow Blizzard, heavier type, head well-proportioned but a little heavy overall, good eye shape and pigment, well set ear, he gives the appearance of having a bit too much stop. Lovely quiet temperament, good bone and substance, coat in good order, could stand a little straighter in front, hock a little loose.

2nd Randall’s Vi’skaly’s Takes You for a Ride (Imp Swe), very pretty feminine head and tight dark eye, well placed ear, pleasing overall shape, holds strong topline, could be a little tighter at elbow, crosses feet a little on rear, so does need to firm up.

Open Bitch (2)

1st Baverstock’s Mizeka A Touch of Class with Kalkasi JW, gorgeous girl, could not fault her, beautiful moulded well-proportioned head, good muzzle/skull balance, lovely pigment, correct stop, slightly rounded skull, tight dark oblique set almond eye, well set ear, tightest well pigmented lips, beautiful colour and markings, good arch of neck, well placed shoulders and upper arm correct, one of the only exhibits with correct forechest, good width throughout, well ribbed, strong well held topline, well set tail, tight feet, well boned, not in absolute full coat, not the biggest girl and not the most enthusiastic in the ring, but typical stubborn attitude, and the movement she gave is spot on. CC & BOB

2nd Downes’ Shanlimore Delta Lady at Belshanmish, this young lady was having none of it today, very hard work for her handler, lovely head and expression, tight dark eye, needs more forechest, exhibited in beautiful condition, coat gorgeous, bit difficult to assess movement, looked a little loose in front coming towards. Pretty girl, pity she had a silly head on today.
