SKC General Championship Show 2026 – Basset Fauve De Bretagne

I would like to thank the SKC for the invitation to judge the Basset Fauve de Bretagne at this year’s SKC General Championship Show. It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to assess this lovely breed and I am grateful to the exhibitors for the quality of their entries.

Class 27 – Puppy Dog (1,0)

1st – REVENITE SERGEANT WILSON FOR RANGALI (Miss M & Mrs H Allenby): 

A 11 month old male with the desired breed proportions with room to allow this young male to develop. He had a pleasing head, good coat texture. On the move, he had a free movement, moved a little close in rear which will hopefully strengthen with age.

Class 28 – Post Graduate Dog (0,0)

Class 29 – Open Dog (5,0)

1st – DYFRGI’S BRITISH HART WITH SOLETRADER (IMP SWE)(Mrs S, Mr O & Miss E Robertson): A dog of excellent proportions and presented so perfectly without looking manicured. An excellent head and expression with correctly set ears and oval eyes. On the stack and move, this dog held a solid topline at all times. He is a very balanced dog with moderate angulation in both front and rear. Happily awarded this dog best dog and BOB for his type, proportions and movement.

2nd – IR CH BLEVWIL ZUMA IR JCH (Mrs S Fleming): A dog of longer proportion than 1 but had a pleasing head and expression. Harsh Jacket with good bone. Topline held at all times. Free movement with a lovely side profile, lost out to 1 as preferred 1’s width to chest. 

3rd – MOCHRAS MAHLOR RUPERT JW (DR A C & MRS J A Leech)

Class 30 – Special Beginners Dog (0,0)

Class 31 – Puppy Bitch (2,0)

1st – RANGALI ANNA WITH SHIMMEREE (Mrs C & Miss M Hills): A 11 month bitch of slightly longer proportions than I like but so sound for a young bitch. Very free movement with a very solid topline. Harsh jacket that was presented in good condition. Slightly low tail set.

2nd – REVENITE MRS FOX (Mr M & Mr J Stevenson-Bramley): A larger bitch than 1 and with more length of leg. Moved freely. Good, harsh jacket. Very pleasing head and expression. On the move, the topline rises to rear.

Class 32 – Post Graduate Bitch (0,0)

Class 33 – Open Bitch (4,1)

1st – CH/LUX CH MOCHRAS MAHGUS (DR A C & MRS J A Leech): A bitch of top size but what a fantastic moving bitch, strode out so well whilst maintaining parallel lines. Presented in perfect condition. Harsh jacket and solid topline. Well bent stifles which was nice to see. Well set tail though a little rounded at tip. Was pleased to award best bitch for excellent breed type and movement.

2nd – BEABASS USHA (Miss A C Revens & Mr P G Hyde): A bitch lower on leg than 1and more in the middle of the breed standard for height. Good, harsh jacket which was the harshest of the day. Moved parallel on the up and down, would prefer slightly more width in front.

3rd – MOCHRAS MAHMALADE BY JAMCHALA JW (DR A C & MRS J A Leech)
