Driffield Championship Dog Show

SBD (2) 1 BD DAELMAN, Bazettdael's Hubbabubba not the biggest but this 2 yr lad can certainly move! He has a pleasing head and eye, good depth to muzzle with overlapping flews and stands fairly well in front on strong bone and padded feet, good length of body and ample depth of chest with broad muscular hindquarters and well bent stifles, he does need to strengthen his topline but on the move he is smooth and effortless and so sound all ways displaying good reach and drive 2 LAND Clanwillow The Jazz Singer tri dog who is good for size and outline, he has a lovely lean head and such a soulful expression, neck is strong and he has plenty of bone, body is amply ribbed for his age with good depth of chest and strong topline, not quite as accurate in front movement as the winner today VD (0) MPD (1) 1 and BPIB HIRST and MELBO Diheath Crackerjack For Kejana a heavily boned 8 mth tri dog with a handsome head, visible occipital and excellent ears, forelegs are short and strong but do incline a little more than ideal, he has a good length of body with depth to chest and ample ground clearance, muscular hindquarters and short hocks, Ive judged him before and done him well but today he was not settled and was rather erratic on the move, however he has lots of breed attributes to admire and he was handled well to show off his assets. PD (0) JD (0) PGD (1) 1 Clanwillow The Jazz Singer (see SBD) LD (0) OD (2,1) and RBD HAMPTON’s Big Long Blues Prometheus At Bassluxe (Imp) a strongly made tri dog who stands really well to show off his shape and has plenty of bone and substance, masculine head with brown well shaped eyes, good flews and lovely soft ears, shoulders are muscular and well placed and he is well developed in the fore with prominent breastbone, body is deep but with ample ground clearance and he has good muscling to his hindquarters. On the move he goes forward smoothly but not quite the animation of the BD today SBB (1) 1 and BB, BOB, BSB Mansons Kenbloom Destinys Call, In my notes I wrote that this beautiful 15mth tri would not be in SB for long and a week after this show she won her first CC! so beautifully balanced and with a gentile temperament, she is not as heavily boned as some but so feminine and well proportioned, she has a lovely head with visible occiput, lean muzzle, lozenge shaped eyes and long silky ears, her neck is strong and slightly arched to well laid shoulders and an excellent front with short strong forelegs and close fitting elbows, ribcage extends well back under a level topline, stifles are well bent and hocks short and she uses what she has to propel herself forward easily and smoothly but with some animation, one of the best movers here today and I was pleased to award her BOB . My only criticism is that I would have liked to see shorter nails. VB (0) MPB (0) PB (0) JB (3,2) 1 Kenbloom Destinys Call (See SBB) PGB (1)1 Hamptons Your Faith Van Grunsven At Bassluxe (Imp NLD) tri b presented in good clean coat and making a balanced outline on the stack, she has good bone and substance but still retains femininity, attractive head with well shaped eyes, correct bite and lean muzzle, she stands well in front with close fitting elbows and padded feet, ribs extend well back and topline is firm, on the move she goes forward soundly and steadily. LB (2,1) 1 and RBB Hampton’s Astra V Grunsven At Bassluxe (Imp NLD) JW 21 mth red/white b, I liked this girl a lot on the stack, she has a beautiful head with correct eye shape giving a soft expression, lean muzzle and good flews, she has a good lay of shoulder matched by well angulated quarters, ample depth of chest allowing for good ground clearance and a strong topline to a correctly set tail carried well on the move, hindquarters are muscular and well developed and she is sound and accurate all ways, just pipped for BB by the slightly more animated movement of the SBB but a close decision.
