Tibetan Spaniels 

Puppy (2/0) 

SMITH - Parloueve Happy as Larry with Lacoral 

9 month old male well up to size and I hope he doesn’t grow anymore.

He has a lovely balanced outline and typey head & expression. Skull rather large but doesn’t detract from his open expression. Dark eye. Well cushioned muzzle. 

Lovely forechest, good front, well bodied & well angulated. Excellent tail set & carriage. BPIB 

2, PROBERT - Souska I can’t wait 

Younger more immature male who just needs time although he is of a better overall size. Nice shape and balance. Skull small in proportion to body. Slight stop. Tended to stick his tongue out when mouth closed. Hopefully this will correct. Strong neck & good shoulders.

His body was slightly longer than he was tall and he had a decent spring of rib. Moved ok.

Post Graduate (7/5)

1 DAVIES TSARONG LASYA

Young bitch of good size & substance. Liked her for her typey head & outline. Nice size head smaller in proportion to body. Lovely expression with dark oval eyes and well padded muzzle. Excellent forechest. Good depth of chest. Nice angulation. Level topline. High set tail carried well. Mouth ok. Considered for BOB

2 QUEST & CONIBERE 

LILIEIAN DANCING IN THE RAIN WITH DEVONTIBS (Imp fin)

This was another lovely example of the breed who upon closer inspection I really appreciated. Same comments apply as 1, however although she is correctly smaller in head & well balanced, I preferred the substance of 1.

Open Dog (4,2)

1 QUEST - LILIEIAN LOUIS VITTON JE SHCM SHCEX VW (IMP FIN) 

9 year old male of correct type. Excellent for shape & balance. Lovely well rounded skull with bright expressive eyes oval in shape.

Excellent forechest & let down of chest. Lovely rib. Level topline. High set tail. Moved really well true, positive & free. 

2 DAVIES - TSARONG PHURBU

6 year old male lovely head and eye. Good ear set. Level topline, high set tail. Good forechest & rib. Couldn’t match the movement of 1 today nor the coat of 1.

Open Bitch (5/3)

Two nice bitches of different styles.

1 SMITH TIBBIESTARS TUTTI FRUTTI AT LACORAL JW 

This bitch was of a lovely type & balance. She had good substance all through. I would say I wouldn’t want a bitch much bigger. She has a beautiful head with correct dark brown oval eyes which were expressive, medium muzzle well cushioned. Lovely strong neck & excellent body with correct angulation allowing her to move freely when she cooperated. She went so much better in the challenge to be awarded BOB. 

2 QUEST & CONIBERE - TINY WINNIE DE LA VALOUBIERE WITH DEVONTIBBS (Imp Fra) 

 Nice sized bitch quite typical in outline & balance. Preferred her coat over 1. Small head. Would prefer a cleaner eye & a better mouth.

Good cushioning to muzzle & slight stop.

Good neck, level topline & high set tail. Decent angulation. Moved ok just a little closer behind than I prefer. 

Tibetan terrier 

Puppy (3/1)

1st RUTLEY - WATERLEY TIME TO SHINE AT JAVEY

Black & white feminine bitch coming up to a year old & maturing nicely. She was of a good size & square shape. Medium size head well balanced with a dark brown eye full of mischief. Correct slight narrowing from ear to eye. Strong muzzle. Excellent scissor bite. decent neck & shoulders. Straight parallel legs. Topline level. Moderate spring of rib for age carried well back & strong loin. Well muscled. She got better as the day went on BPIB & BPIS3. Benefitted from a larger ring.

2 HONEYWILL - TEGKEI RUMERS ANTICS 

Rising 1 year old male. Masculine. Ever so square. Well grown for age. His head was medium sized and well balanced with a strong muzzle and round dark eye. Excellent mouth. Strong neck, well angulated shoulders. Straight in front. Strong body with fair spring of rib & strong loin. Well muscled. He really needs to tighten up in front as he grows as he tends to be quite loose on the move.

Post Graduate (4/1)

1 HADLOW - QUIDDITCH WHAT A STAR 

19mth feminine bitch of a nice size & square shape. Good balance throughout. Good sized head with medium stop & strong muzzle. Muscular neck. Well placed shoulders. Slightly narrow in front. Level topline. Well set tail. Moderate spring of rib. Well muscled & angulated rear. Preferred her more feminine frame over 2.

2 PLUMMER & HARRISON - BOSHAY PUMPKIN SPICE WITH TETSIKARMA

Another young bitch of excellent type. A close call for 1st but I found she was a bit more ‘in between’ and heavy on the day than 1. She had a lovely head of medium size, dark eye, strong muzzle & excellent mouth. Strong neck, good shoulders & front assembly. Really well sprung rib carried well back. Strong in the loin. Moderate bone throughout. Level topline & good tail set. She moved smoothly with good reach & drive keeping her shape at all times. 

Open dog (2/0)

 2 quite different males here but both have good breed attributes. 

1 STICKLEY - SILGARHI’S HOLY MOSES AT WALKAMILE 

4 year old mature male of a good size. Nothing overdone or exaggerated with this boy. Slightly smaller frame than 1 but well balanced. Won this class on maturity.

Decent headpiece with dark eye & marked stop. Skull correctly narrowing slightly. Ears well set to frame the head. Well proportioned neck. Good shoulder placement & straight front. Fair spring of rib. High set tail. Well muscled. Moved with some reach & drive. Excellent presentation.

2nd HARRISON BOSHAY BEAUTIFUL MOMO JW

This young male was a lovely find. At 18 months old he is yet to settle down in the ring & made his handler work. 

He’s a cracking male with all I would want to find. Well balanced & square. 

Head so typical and a good size with a dark round eye. Masculine without courseness. Strong muzzle with excellent dentition. Strong neck. Excellent chest & rib. Straight & parallel front legs. Good substance through body without being too heavy. Level topline. Well muscled rear. His movement was erratic and difficult to assess. I gave him a couple of chances to sort himself out but it wasn’t to be today. Had to settle for 2nd. Definitely a promising future ahead. 

Open bitch (3/1) 

PLUMMER, KNIGHT & BINGHAM

ARAKI COLOUR MY WORLD FOR TETSIKARMA JW

2 year old Bitch who I judged as a young puppy & she has matured as well as hoped.

She is the ideal size & shape. Square, balanced outline. Medium size head with dark round eye and a feminine expression. Well proportioned with a strong muzzle and excellent mouth. Medium neck to carry head well. Well made front with straight legs. Plenty spring of rib & short loin. Excellent muscle at the rear allowing her to move effortlessly around the ring showing good reach & drive. Totally unexaggerated in every way. So pleased to see her go BIS under my Co Judge Mr Alan Carter where she could really show herself off in a bigger ring.
