Many thanks to the exhibitors for the sizable entry, especially for a weekday; unfortunately there were some absentees but I had a thoroughly enjoyable morning. Although out of my control, I can only apologise for the wobbly table, regrettably my stewards only managed to sort out a replacement too late for my exhibits!
It’s been several years since I last judged my favourite breed at this level, on the plus side I found temperaments to be superb, plus on the whole, movement appears to have improved. However, on the down side, steep upper arms with corresponding upright shoulders appear to be the norm these days and this really affects the outline and the overall balance of the dog.
Another big problem, with the exception of a handful of correct scissor bites, were mouths. These ranged from uneven teeth, to undershot jaws, to both canines on such a narrow lower jaw they were growing up on the inside of the roof of the mouth. I also noticed teeth that had been filed and one exhibits teeth looked like they had actually been clipped. However, these are not disqualifying faults and I judged accordingly to the degree of the problem, accounting for other virtues and faults. Only a couple of exhibits on the measure, the rest were all over but I was more than happy with both my line ups and I found my main winners most pleasing. Finally, I must just mention the dirtiest exhibit I have ever encountered in 25 years of judging dogs; surely a bath, if needed, before presenting at a show isn’t too much to ask?

Junior Dog Entries 3 Absentees 0
1st BULLYPINS KLASSIKOS (MR A and MRS M LLEWELLYN)
At 15 months a very typy, compact and cobby black brindle and white. He has an unbroken curve to his well-filled, power packed head, to be hypercritical perhaps a tad more length would not go amiss and he has a rather round eye. Incorrect mouth. Shoulders OK and short backed, moving well coming but today, throwing out a back leg as he moved away. In good, hard show condition.
2nd LAFENICE JOEY TRIBIANI (MISS K A LEWIS)
16 months white boy, not quite the fill in head as 1st but with a piercing eye. Incorrect mouth. A little upright in shoulder but powering off with well-muscled quarters. Well presented.
3rd SEAQUEST SMOOTH OPERATOR FOR ANDRIONA (MISS F A NICHOLL)
Post Graduate Dog Entries 4 Absentees 0
1st LAFENICE TUDOR WITH DUVESSA (MRS D VICKERS)
Brindle and white, a difficult decision between 1 and 2, as 1 not quite the work in the head as 2 but he has a small eye, well placed ears and a correct bite. A little at upright in shoulder but has good bone and he moved very well.
2nd GRANDOPERA DIDIER DROGBA OF CALIBER (MR and MRS W LAMBERT)
The word stylish springs to mind with this lad. He has a good profile with enough fill and turn, using his ears well. Mouth incorrect. He has a beautiful outline. He is very well schooled, moving well enough in front but a touch close behind.

1st BADLESMERE BEAU REGARDE (MS E BRAILSFORD)
A well put together and well-marked brindle and white with a good eye, nicely filled head, correct bite, straight front, neat feet, strong quarters with a good bend of stifle moved with drive and was handled to perfection. RDCC
2nd BADLESMERE BYGONES (MRS J SHAW)
Beautiful white dog of a good size, I was quite taken with him, he was the smallest in the class. He has a correct front, neat feet but I feel he would benefit from being moved at a slightly faster pace.

Res AMINIRUMPUS RED PANDA (MR J and MISS S KOCABA and WHITE)
Open Dog Entries 6 Absentees 3
1st BULLYON BACK TO THE MEASURE (MR M and MRS J PHILLIPS)
A typy young black brindle and white who just oozes quality. He has a good headpiece with plenty of curve and fill, a dark eye, small neat ears but with one tight canine. He has a beautiful outline, all topped off with a glossy coat. He moved very accurately but would benefit from a little more roadwork. What a handsome chap, pleased to award him the DCC
2nd LAFENICE TAMINO OF CALIBER (MS A, MR W and MRS C PEACHER and LAMBERT)
This brindle and white lad looked a picture when standing but short in upper arm and a tad loaded on the shoulder. Has a good expression, plenty of bone and enough spring in his ribs, movement rather choppy.

Junior Bitch Entries 6 Absentees 3
1st TUSKENADA ANAIS ANAIS WITH TRANSCEND (MISS J and MRS A PLUMLEY and WYLIE)
Excellent presentation on this beautiful young white bitch with black ears. Good head with a strong under jaw and correct bite. Good depth of chest with a strong loin and well angulated quarters. A little slack in the pastern which makes her look slightly short on the leg, but moving well with her proficient handler.
2nd QUAYARDSON LADY DELACOUR (MRS A and MR R BENNETT and PICKERING)
She is a lovely rich solid brindle junior bitch with a pleasing head, but incorrect mouth. Shoulders OK plenty of depth and very compact, moves out well. I’m looking forward to seeing her when fully mature. 3rd BADLESMERE BLACK DAHLIA (MR P and MRS N DRAPER)

1st KOFYN KANDY KRUSH (MR M J PRESLAND)
I loved this bitch the first time I saw her out as a pup, she is a good rich red/white girl, her head is well filled with an unbroken profile with an eye that gives that fabulous bully expression. She has very good markings. She has a nice straight front with good shoulder placement. To be pedantic, perhaps I would prefer to see her a tad shorter in the back. Well angulated quarters which she used and moved with drive when she got going. In tip top condition I was pleased to award her the BCC and BOB. I discovered afterwards that this make her up, well done.
2nd LUX CH ANGELS WARRIORS TINY FOREVER (IMP GR) (MRS L GLASS)
A very well-schooled red and white, a strong, but feminine girl, similar to 1 in not only colour but in stature as well. She has enough profile for me, one canine in, strong neck, good topline, enough rib, muscular hindquarters and moved typically with very slick handling RBCC
