Many thanks to the Officers and Committee for the invitation to judge at their well-run Premier Open show. A very pleasant day with some lovely dogs, great atmosphere, well organised timings and an excellent ring Steward, Neil Hood, who kept the ring ticking along efficiently. 

BIS was the Whippet female, Boughton Buddleia. Looking the part here. Feminine in outlook with lovely size and gentle curvy outline. Excellent head shape with good eye shape and colour giving desired expression. Well balanced angles. In lovely condition and a sound mover, particularly from profile showing reach and drive with ‘daisy-cutting’ action. RBIS, Seaqualina Echo Of Light At Arcticskies. A typical Sibe of functional type. Good head enhanced with a well-placed almond eye and high set ears used to best advantage. Very moderate all through, in good body and coat, not too low on leg or heavy in any way. Moved with an efficient gait carrying his tail well and gave a good performance to secure this award.

Totally feminine with excellent bone, spring of rib and body for her age. Lovely head with the sweetest of expressions. Moved out well, displaying typical ‘merry’ Cocker temperament. Two lovely puppies.

BVIS Ch. Schipdale A Kind Of Magic. Schipperke. I love this breed and this 8 year old dog is a worthy representative. More settled here than earlier in BIS wher he would have pushed the winners closer. Excellent size with cobby outline, ideal proportions and typical wedge head. High set ears used to full advantage to enhance his expression. When settled displayed a short-stepping stride, totally sound in all directions. Thick, double coat, beautifully presented. Made a worthy winner. RBVIS Ch. Franmar The Thriller. 8 year old Australian Shepherd Dog in fabulous form. Masculine and nicely balanced both in head and body proportions.

Ch. Zentaur Drop It Like It’s Hot For Oialt. Beautiful black Newfoundland female. Strong with great body and well boned. Excellent head, clean eye and well set ears. Strong neck of adequate length. Good shoulder with return of upper arm. Could be a touch firmer in topline at times. Strong rear. In fabulous condition. Moved well showing soundness and plenty of freedom.

2nd Harvlin Hot Toddy. 9 year old Boxer. Also still in lovely body, muscle tone and condition. Good head balanced with muzzle. Good reach and arch of neck. Moderate front angles and correct bone. Good rear angulation. Moved well enough, just could have a bit more thrust at the rear.

Alaskan Malamute.

Firm topline leading to a good tail set. Balanced angles. A shade long in long but muscular. Excellent profile movement. Good double coat. Carries his tail correctly. BOB and 4.

J. 1st Simberger Razzle Dazzle. Well grown 8 month old male. Excellent for breed type. Pleasing size, bone and well bodied. Head shape and strength typical for age. Good eye. Strong neck. Good angulation in front. Moderate rear, still to drop slightly which will firm up his topline. Once he settled into his stride, covered the ground well. Shows good potential. 

2nd Simberger Copper Glow. 9 month old who is more forward in maturity than 1st. Lovely head, medium neck. Good front and rear. Just needs to firm-up on the move all round. Well presented double coat.

Good head for strength and breed type. Oval eye and well set-on ears. Strong neck of medium length. Sufficient chest. Smooth, even mover. BOB.

2nd Debbolliny Crafty Ideas For Simberger. Liked this female. Out of coat at the moment so nothing to hide with her excellent overall conformation, strong head, well proportioned but no mistaking her gender. Moved very well in all directions with typical unhurried gait and low tail carriage. Once back in coat will surely trouble the best.

Newfoundland.

J. 1st Oukaya Forever Big Dipper. BP and PG4. 

2nd Oukaya Forever Beyond The Black. Two 6 month old siblings and very similar at this stage. Both need time to grow on and generally mature further but both show promise. Both have pleasing heads, clean eyes and defined stops. Both have good conformation and gave a good account of themselves. Big Dipper was marginally more settled on the move but needs to drop in rear quarters. Beyond the Black is slightly better balanced on the stack but needs to tighten further on the move, particularly out and back. They were both well presented, have super temperaments for their future careers.

Rottweiler.

O. 1st Javladare Heart Goes Boom. Medium sized male. Pleasing dry head with strength to skull and muzzle. At just 2 years, think he will body up more and generally mature on further, but he is well constructed, good muscle tone and a free mover. Attentive to handle. BOB.

2nd TK’s Face Time. Different type to first, particularly in head. Plenty of power and strength all through. Gives a typical outline on the stack. Balanced in angulation and not too long in loins. Topline firm. Scopey side gait. Can settle a bit going away. Res BOB.
