BV 141 - Ch Arroline Eclipse JW (Mrs L & Miss H Long)

I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge at this lovely show. The organisation was superb as was the hospitality, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the show. I would also like to thank my two stewards Nicky and Paul who kept everything running smoothly despite having to get to grips with a new computerised results system. I would also like to thank the exhibitors for their generous entry and the spirit with which they accepted my decisions. I also admired the sporting way when I asked the exhibitors to move again the person at the front always checked that everyone was ready. With regard to the new health checks, I did see several dirty teeth and a few dirty ears. Attention to these areas should be part of your normal grooming regime. 

What is happening to our parti-colours? I had a surprising number of “blanket” dogs on the day. The breed standard does state well broken, and the blanket coat does detract from the overall picture. Unless a blanket coat is shown in absolutely sparkling condition it can look very dull.

43. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Veteran Dog

Entries: 5 Absentees: 4

1ST 76 - Delhaze Reach for The Sky with Oaklake JW (Ms S D Bloomfield)

 Handsome 8 year old Blenheim dog with a lovely masculine head and pleasing expression enhanced by large dark eyes. He kept a level topline and tail set and moved well but was a little unsettled on the table. He was very attentive to his handler throughout. Sadly unable to stay for the challenge for best veteran.

44. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Minor Puppy Dog

Entries: 7 Absentees: 1

1ST 119 - Leogem Melodic Graffiti (Mr D & Mrs T Homes)

Very appealing 6 months old Blenheim at his first show. Overall, a neat size and shape with lovely head markings. Still in his puppy coat. He was steady on the move maintaining a good topline and tail set and had the correct curve of stifle aiding his driving action. He was attentive to his handler throughout. I liked him a lot. He is by the second in open and out of my best of breed last time I judged at this level, so I think he has an assured future.

 2ND 93 - Bournevalley Georgio (Mrs K L & Mr P H Prosser)

Another youngster and a pleasing exhibit, he has a heavily marked body but a nicely marked head. Good neck and shoulders, well schooled and moved freely. Overall I preferred the compact body of the first. 

  3RD 170 - Llapsttam Philanderer (Mr M & Mr M Spall & Clark)

RES 147 - Ellemich Love Struck for Lizlanmor (Miss E & Mr R Morley & Hitchcock)

VHC 180 - Merryanna Stand by Me (Mrs I M Yeates)

45. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Puppy Dog

Entries: 7 Absentees: 3

1ST 176 - Tebaldi Bohemian Rhapsody (Mr C & Mr K Wilkins & Wilcock)

 Lovely young ruby with a rich coloured gleaming coat which makes him stand out in any line up. Carries his head well on good neck and shoulders. Masculine head with the darkest of eyes and dark eye rims. Beautifully put together and covers the ground with ease. Correct amount of coat for his age but as he matures and develops a full coat and more cushioning under the eye, he will be an exhibit you cannot ignore. Best puppy dog and best puppy in breed. I watched him move in the puppy group and thought he acquitted himself well.

 2ND 74 - Charnavale Touch of Charm at Remmya (Mrs E Bennett)

 A nice Blenheim with a beautifully finished coat. Nice head with good blaze, but the head does need to come through a bit more and he needs to firm up all round. There is a lot to like with this one, but I preferred the positive action of the first.

3RD 164 - Leescarriad Wish Came True (Ms N H Smith)

RES 90 - Cavohana Inoa Kupana (Miss S Collier)

46. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Junior Dog

Entries: 4 Absentees: 2

1ST 145 - Lovetrac Beckham (Mr P F Lovel)

Liked this exhibit for his neat size and shape with correct proportions. Good head with large round dark eyes and pleasing expression enhanced by fully feathered ears. Good neck and shoulders with crest which means he carries his head well. He has a good topline and well curved stifles leading to an easy free striding action. 

 2ND 152 - Jamesbonny Sail Away by Embeth (Mrs S & Miss B Rees)

 A nice Blenheim dog more heavily marked than the first and slightly longer cast but beautifully groomed and put down. Wide blaze and dark eye giving a lovely expression. On the move he has a tendency to pull away from his handler which spoilt the overall picture. A little more schooling and he will trouble the best.

 47. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Yearling Dog

Entries: 4 Absentees: 2

1ST 104 - Toraylac Conrad at Ellemich (Mrs C Gibson)

 Another Blenheim of neat size and shape. Beautifully presented. His face has very broad blaze which enhances the appearance of his large dark round eyes. He moved with ease but was slightly proud of his tail today.

 2ND 115 - Lexody's Legacy (Miss K Hawkins)

 A more heavily marked Blenhiem. He has good eyes and a lovely expression. Lovely feathering enhances his appearance. He was very attentive to his handler and moved gracefully. Overall, I preferred the more compact shape of the first.

  48. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - Post Graduate Dog

Entries: 9 Absentees: 4

1ST 120 - Leogem Melody Maker (Mr D & Mrs T Homes)

 Loved this Blenheim for his neat size and shape. He has a nice head and expression with a good blaze and very dark eyes this all framed by well feathered ears, but he could make better use of his ears and is more heavily marked than my ideal. Good topline and tail set, he moved with a brisk easy action.

 2ND 80 - Wandris Speak of The Devil JW (Miss A Bubb)

 A very masculine Blenhiem dog. He has a well broken coat, a rarity today., Good dark eyes and rich pigment throughout. Good neck and shoulders and moved well, Overall I preferred the neater size and shape of the first.

 3RD 131 - Revaelann Rocky Road (Mrs A & Miss T Leaver & Gresty)

RES 77 - Oaklake Limitless (Ms S D Bloomfield)

1ST 159 - Stonepit Into The Blue (Mrs D Searle)

A lovely Blenheim, he screams type. Beautiful head with broad blaze framed by plentiful ear feathering. The head is carried with elegance on good neck and shoulders. Good fore-chest. Well broken, long silky coat and nice firm well-toned body which is nice to go over. He showed a clean pair of pads when driving away and covered the ground with easy strides. He is very neat all round and I was pleased to award him the Reserve CC.

 2ND 177 - Charnell The Renegade Sancana JW ShCEx OSW (Mrs E D Williams)

 Another neat Blenheim with well broken coat. Lovely blaze with lozenge and pleasing expression. He is most attentive to his handler and moved with real drive. He just needs more coat to complete the picture.

RES 172 - Cassandy Say Something Nice (Ms C J Stanton)

1ST 84 - Ch Ellemich American Express (Mrs M & Miss T Chapman & Ireland)

The most glamorous Blenhiem dog. A beautiful masculine head with good blaze and dark eye and lively expression. Good neck and shoulders he moved with real drive showing a clean pair of pads, keeping a perfect topline and tail-set. Totally at one with his handler. He is hard to fault, and he is the consummate showman. I could not put anything over him today. Last time I judged him, he was my best puppy in breed, this time I was pleased to award him the Dog CC and Best of Breed, and I was thrilled to see him take second in the Toy Group under breed specialist Leila Tarabad

2ND 144 - Ch Lovetrac Banksy (Mr P F Lovel)

A worthy champion, he is a lovely Blenheim dog. Beautifully put together and well presented. His body is in good firm condition, and he moves with easy graceful strides. His head is slightly finer than the first but still masculine. He was unlucky to come up against the first on top form today.
