Exonian CS – 2nd December 2017

What lovely BIS and BPIS line-ups. Thank you to the other judges for putting through such quality.

BEST IN SHOW. Sales’ Redoak One Step Beyond at Rugarry IR JCH – 2 ½ yr Dogue De Bordeaux. What a super young man. This breed is described as powerful, stocky, athletic and imposing. This boy ticks them all. Super size and outline, large broad head, pronounced stop, nice eye and well set and closely held ears. Correct lipline creating that characteristic upturned ‘V’. Short strong neck through to broad deep front, well laid shoulders, strong bone and good feet. Deep ribs back to a short strong loin. Good angles to the rear and correct topline. On the move this boy is a joy to watch, free flowing with powerful drive. Very close between him and the Borzoi but his attitude won the day.

RES BEST IN SHOW Pinkerton’s Coverdales Volcanus at Menigma – Borzoi. Lovely balanced outline. Long lean head of good proportions, dark eye and nice small ears. Neck flows into well laid shoulders over deep ribs of good shape. Lovely underline with good tuck up, correct topline, slight arch through to wide, well muscled rear quarters. On the move showing graceful elegance one expects from this breed, true coming & going, and a driving effortless profile gait. BEST PUPPY IN SHOW Prout’s Amarige Armani Diamonds at Furzeland – Samoyed. Full critique in the breed but this young man stood out in the breed and set the bar for the pastoral group that none of the others could reach. Excels for type and movement, lost out to the mature dogs in the BIS lineup but was a worthy BPIS winner.

RESERVE BEST PUPPY IN SHOW Quest’s Lilileian Louis Vuitton (Imp Fin) – Tibetan Spaniel. Impressed by his shape, balance and maturity. Lovely head shape with good proportions and nice eyes. Well made forequarters with plenty of forechest. Lovely body proportions, well angulated rear, in good coat with a lovely full tail. So positive, true and self assured on the move.

BEST VETERAN IN SHOW. Stansbury & Pilgrim’s Ch Woodbriar Luciano JW ShCM– Doberman. What a lovely boy. Realised when writing my critiques that I judged this young man a few years back before he gained his title. Loved him then and still do. Owned the big ring on the move to win through in a lovely veteran line-up. Full critique under Champions Stakes.

RESERVE BEST VETERAN IN SHOW Rutland & Jones’ Sh Ch Khamsynn Carry On Camping JW – Weimaraner. This graceful elegant B pushed hard. Loved her outline and shape. Correct body proportions with feminine head of good length. Well made and well muscled fore quarters, correct depth of chest and ribbed back to a short deep loin. Muscular rear with well turned stifle. Effortless mover with good reach and drive.

BEST RESERVE BEST OF BREED IN SHOW Pile’s Tarkaswell Dr Zhivago at Moleschamber ShCM – Border Terrier. Super 4yr dog. Loved his head with dark eye and well set ears. Well made and with nice harsh coat. Lovely level topline & well set tail. True sound mover with a brisk action and plenty of attitude.
