DRIFFIELD CHAMPIONSHIP DOG SHOW 2026

BRIARD

I enjoyed judging your handsome breed. Temperaments were good and presentation was generally excellent. Coats were a good texture and all tails were a good length. Just two areas of slight concern: some very small teeth which surprised me in a breed with a square strong muzzle and in some cases, hind action could be more positive. Thank you all for your support and good sportsmanship today.

1st: 2318 PARRY, Miss Jane Anwyl Ch Stormymoon Untamed Irish. I see from the catalogue that he is a relative neighbour of mine but I don’t recall having seen him before. In my rough notes, I wrote definitely CC quality and today he was Reserve Best Dog and Best Veteran. Beautifully balanced and shown in excellent coat and muscular condition. Masculine head with large nose. Good forehand and his neck is nicely arched to give him very good deportment. Good breadth and depth of chest. Well angulated. In profile he has a very easy supple gait.

Well-proportioned head with dark eyes, large nose, defined stop and good pigmentation. Very good forehand with strength of bone and good feet. Well bodied with good topline and well carried tail.
