Poodle (Toy)

Dogs

Special Beginners

1; PARKER-STOKES, Miss Anna Afterglow Gilbert Grape, 7-month black who measures easily. He has a coat of good texture and he is well bodied. Just needs confidence and he’ll be away.

Puppy

1; GODFREY, Miss Sandra Aedan Dancing In The Dark, 8 months old and what an absolutely beautiful Toy Poodle. He is already very much all of a piece with a delightful head and wicked expression. Beautifully presented coat of super texture. He holds him self correctly on the move with a look of arrogance and importance. Well bodied and the correct dip behind the withers. He is future is assured and we will be hearing a lot more of him in future. Could not resist him for the DCC and BP. In the challenge for BOB his age told, being just not as precise as the bitch.

2: SPEAKMAN, Miss S & MOORES, Miss R & ISHERWOOD, Mr Shantallah Beetlejuice At Sachemic, 6 months and full of type. Very much a baby but full of quality and style. Beautiful head piece and well bodied. Presented to perfection.

3: MARSTON, Mrs Marion Seldoop High Five

Junior

1: WHEELER, Mrs P J Verismo The Great Caruso, white of 17 months and excellent for type and shape. Delightful head and well pigmented. On the move he has carriage but could just use his front a little more.

2: HUYTON, Mrs Cherry Afterglow Hi Octane With Chebri, 18 months black in good coat of texture. Pleases for head although he needs to settle on the table, he has type and puts his feet in the right place but could concentrate on his carriage a little. Well presented.

3: GRINDEY, Mr Richard Malcolm & DYER, Mr Stephen Malricey Mr Meana

Post Graduate

1: ROPER, Miss Pauline Jusbar Lets Get It On, black who has leg and is balanced in outline. Decent for head proportions short in back and in good coat. Moved on the right track and is well presented.

Limit

1: CORISH, Mrs A & OLDFIELD, Mrs Sarah Tuttlebees Devil's Dilemma, quintessential toy poodle for shape and proportions. Super head and expression, in wonderful coat and condition. Just needs to settle on the table and put his mind in gear on the move but he has it all the right place and is worthy of a title.

2; PARKER-STOKES, Miss Anna Afterglow Gilbert Grape

Open:

1: NELSON, Mrs L & BRYANT, Mrs B Nasailleen Talk To The Hand, won this class on head and size, excellent type and he is good to go over with an exquisite head and expression. In good coat but just needs to harshen slightly. On the move he has carriage and style. He is a worthy title holder, and I won’t disagree when he does. RCC

2: LAND, Mrs Lynne Pamela & LAND, Mr Stephen Ch Sotto Voce Yes I Am At Stepanelle (Sp Imp), beautifully presented top size male who is deserving of his title. He has good carriage, just not quite the forward reach of the winner today.

Bitches

Special Beginners

1: NOUR, Ms S & ISHERWOOD, Ms C Afterglow Go With The Flo, black baby of 9 months and lovely for type, pleasing head and expression. Moved out ok bit could have better carriage.

2: HOLBOROW, Mr Ben Magnuspaws Delphinus, silver who is very well presented and is square in outline and up on leg, She has a decent head and expression but could just use a little more in neck.

3: SMITH, Mrs Melissa & TEASEL, Mrs J & SMITH, Miss M Afterglow Trifle Tipsy By Sharisel

Puppy

1; ROME-TANKUT, Mrs Vanda Afterglow Ice Bun, 7-month cream with good pigment and exceptional coat texture. She is so good to go over and is very well bodied for her age. I loved her head and expression, and she is completely balanced all through. Sound and stylish, she has real potential.

2: GODFREY, Miss Sandra Aedan Love Me Do, 9-month brown with the attitude that goes with the colour. Exceptional shape and so beautifully put together, she just needs her head now to engage.

3: NELSON, Mrs L & BRYANT, Mrs B Malricey Miss Behave With Nasailleen

Junior

1: VAN LETH, Miss Zoë & ROBERTS, Mrs Sue Greateaves Glendara, 13-month deep apricot and presented very well and in excellent body. Moved out on the right track but needs to work on her carriage.

2: NELSON, Mrs L & BRYANT, Mrs B Malricey Miss Behave With Nasailleen, 3 in the puppy class this 6-month black baby is a super prospect but just need time.

3: HOLBOROW, Mr Ben Magnuspaws Delphinus

Post Graduate

1: HOLBOROW, Mr Ben Magnuspaws Delphinus

2: DAVIES, Mrs Tina Sotto Voce Gypsy Queen (imp Esp), black girl who is lovely to go over and everything in the right place. Just would not use her tail and so spoilt her outline.

3: WATTS, Mr D & Mrs Brenda Riomelas Truly Scrumptious At Micador

Limit

1: LAND, Mrs Lynne Pamela & LAND, Mr Stephen Sotto Voce Barbie Imp Esp, very typical, beautifully presented and conditioned black. Super head and expression moved out well and held her outline. She was extremely well bodied and very balanced. A title holder I have no doubt.

2: BRADLEY, Miss A Montelle Talk Of Magic With Tuttlebees, really typy black girl who is super to go over and has a lovely head and expression, just picked her feet up a tad high in front today.

3; HOLBOROW, Mr Ben Magnuspaws Delphinus

Open

1: GIOVANNINI, Mrs Alessandra Icontrue Octopus, A completely new exhibit to me, and I was very impressed with her. This black bitch was the complete package today. She has a beautiful head and expression, a long neck, and a correct topline. Well bodied and balanced in angulation throughout. She was shown in a wealth of beautifully presented coat, although I may have preferred slightly less topknot. Her carriage on the move was exceptional, complemented by a wonderful tail set and carriage. Super for size, she covered the ground with style and purpose. BCC and BOB.

2: SHEPPARD, Mr A Ch Mikasa Magicstar Small Talk JW, My RCC winner from Crufts 2019 when she was a puppy, and I was delighted to see her again today. I have always rated her highly, and she is a true Toy Poodle. Her head and expression are wonderful, and she is presented in optimum condition. Very worthy of all that she has gone on to achieve. Today she just lacked a little sparkle and therefore had to accept another RCC from me.
