Tibetan Terrier

SBD/B (3,0)

1. Cowen’s Kelsmorespitz Love You More at Anderoco. Three very different dogs challenged in this class and this 11 mth old black bitch was my winner. Promising pup who pleased for balance with neck of medium length, firm level topline, ribbing carried well back but obviously still to fully develop and tail correct for set and carriage. Feminine head with good skull to muzzle proportions, expressive eyes of good colour, pleasing underjaw and correct dentition. She stands nice and straight in front and is well muscled all through. On the move, she was true when coming and going and has a pretty good length of stride. Well handled. Best Special Beginners. 

2. Lay-Flurrie’s Gser Jinpa Namkha to Gajarkot. 23 mth old bitch who presents a square outline with sufficient length of neck, firm topline, good spring of rib with ribbing carried well back, nice short loin and tail pleasing for set and carriage. Head of correct proportions with feminine expression; good skull, dark eyes of correct placement and ears set on fairly high. Moving freely on the down and back but winner just had the edge on the go around. Another well handled. 

3. Ritchie’s Araki The Devil's Candy JW

MPD (2,0)

1. Davies & Honey’s Blue Blood Ambassador Way To Rock with Waterley (Imp). Two very nice pups competed here with the win going to this 8 mth old white/black who very much appealed. I thought him correct for type, so very well balanced and he was excellent hands on. Muscular neck of correct length to balance, firm through the backline, very good rib for age, short loin and tail just right for set and carriage. Balanced headpiece with dark expressive eyes, well developed under jaw and correct dentition. I liked his angles front and rear and he stands true in front on correct feet. Confident when gaiting and particularly impressed on the go around. RCC and Best Puppy.

2. O’Connor’s Talistella Call The Shots. Just 6 mths old, this tricolour youngster pushed the winner all the way and was expertly handled here. Muscular neck with a touch more length, firm backline, rib still to develop but ribcage of good length, short in the couplings and tail pleased for set and carriage. Attractive head and expression; good skull to muzzle proportions, eyes of good colour and placement, ears set on fairly high, well developed lower jaw and good dentition. Well constructed both ends and he stands nice and straight in front on good feet. Moving well all through but winner just went that bit better when viewed in profile. 

PGD (3,0)

1. Pettit’s Rogspa's Got Yer Back JW. 22 mth old black/white who comfortably won this class for me. Up to size, he was very good hands on and he presented a well balanced outline. Muscular neck of moderate length, firm level topline, good depth to brisket, ribbing extends well back, short loin and tail set and carried as desired. Pleasing head with good skull, expressive eyes of good colour, muzzle proportionate in length to that of skull, good underjaw, correct dentition and well pigmented all through. He stands well naturally in front and when gaiting, he opened up well on the go around. Good texture to coat.

2. Lewis & Miles’ Waterley Masterpiece. 2 yr old tricolour out of a smaller mould than the winner. This lad also pleased for overall outline and balance having a medium length of neck, firm level back and tail is correct for set and carriage. His ribcage extends well back but would like to see more depth to chest. Nicely proportioned head with pleasing expression; dark eyes of correct placement in the skull, marked stop, well developed underjaw and correct dentition. Standing nice and straight in front on good sized feet and moving pretty well when viewed in profile and nice and firm going away. Good quality coat. 

3. Johnston’s Araki Justice Once at Pamitarjo

LD (3,0)

1. Kemp’s Waterley Stand N Deliver for Yanlan JW. 2 yr old black who very much appealed. Of medium size, sturdy, totally balanced and very good hands on. He presented such a lovely outline with muscular neck of moderate length which flows into well laid shoulders, firm level back, brisket reaches the elbows, ribcage of good length, short loin, correct croup and tail just right for set and carriage. Masculine head with correct skull to muzzle proportions, expressive eyes, ears of correct set, strength to muzzle, well developed underjaw and correct dentition. Soundly constructed both front and rear, he stands well naturally in front, has correct feet for the breed and is well muscled all through.

2. Laffling’s Taxiki Causin Chaos JW. 22 mth old black/white who also has much to like, pleasing for type and presenting a very good outline. Excellent neck, firm level topline, good depth to chest, pleasing rib development, nice short loin and tail correct for both set and carriage. Balanced headpiece with correct skull, marked stop, eyes of good size which are dark enough, ears set on fairly high, well developed underjaw and good dentition.

1. Davies’ Waterley Blanche Et Noire. A really nice class which gave me much to consider. This 14 mth old white/black was my winner and a quality girl all through. She was a pleasure to go over given her correct construction, pleased for type and presented such a good outline. Excellent neck, firm straight back, brisket reaches the elbows which are held close to the body, well ribbed back, short loin, correct croup and tail pleasing for both set and carriage. Quality head which is well proportioned, excellent skull, dark expressive eyes, strength to muzzle and well developed lower jaw.

Quite outstanding on the go around and carries herself with style. RCC.

2. Gilbert’s Gandaki Sashi Sprout. Gold/white of 13 mths. She is quite different to the winner and not as mature but she should go on to make a very good adult as she has everything she needs. She is nice and square in outline, neck gives the required balance, firm topline, ribbing extends well back, short in the couplings, level croup and tail set on fairly high and of good carriage. Feminine headpiece which is well proportioned, eyes good for size and shape, ears of correct set, good underjaw and correct mouth.

Balanced head with feminine expression; good skull, correct stop, large eyes of good colour, ears set on fairly high, strength to muzzle and correct dentition.

1. Rauhut’s Ch/Am/Dk/Dutch/Esp/World/Swe/Lux Ch Ti La Shu PS I Love You. Four really quite different bitches challenged in this class with the win going to this 6 yr old gold/white. Brimming over with quality and a delight hands on.

First class head with good skull to muzzle proportions, correct stop, expressive eyes placed fairly well apart, strong muzzle, well developed underjaw and correct dentition; each part combining to create the characteristic resolute expression of the breed. As sound as they come and she stands foot perfect on the best of feet.

CC & BOB.
