Junior Bitch (15,3)

This was an outstanding class, I wish I could have given out more 1st place rosettes! A very difficult class to judge, and no surprise that my RBIS come from this class.

Blackgrove’s Britishicon it Girl, RBIS If this was a grooming contest this bitch stood out by a mile. She was groomed to perfection, every wrinkle was squeaky clean, her coat was in immaculate condition. Her pure white un-chalked face, on a rich coated red body just stood out like a lit light bulb in the class and challenge. A little more ‘butch’ then my BIS winner but total quality. Beautiful well developed head with clear eyes and correct ear setting. Big black nose and open nostrils. Well laid shoulders to well boned forelegs to good feet. Good length of body providing a natural rise of topline and well angulated rear quarters meant that she moved with drive. Now she’s out of puppy a bit more toning of her body maybe appropriate, not to lose her pear shape.

Freeman’s Testwood Welsh Lady, This bitch was handled superbly. Every time I glanced at this bitch she was presented from the best possible angle, the handler seemed to disappear and made sure the best was made of this bitch. Feminine R/W bitch with dark mask and good jaw. Super straight bone to neat feet. Again moved well due to good angulations.

Chamberlain’s Nickleby’s Shooting Star

Novice Bitch (8,1)

Larsson’s Jabberwockys Enjoy Me for Britisher BIS , BEST BITCH This R/W bitch is beautifully balanced, standard sized and totally unexaggerated. A tidy skull that’s broad with well set ears. Dark appealing eyes to a well cushioned foreface and jaw. Well laid shoulders with developed chest, dropped brisket and rounded ribs to give the correct body shape. Topline reflected in underline making her balanced from all angles. Good strong rear with well let down hocks. Moved well, as did all my winners and didn’t put a foot wrong for her handler/owner. Please to know that she was awarded the BCC a week later at a breed champ show, just confirmed what quality she is.

Collingwood’s Chiselwick Lady Leah This energetic bitch is up to size and well built. She moved extremely well which won her 2nd place. Strong straight front and lovely tail length. Her lack of facial pigment unfortunately alters her facial expression.

Vaughan’s Odinschild Viking Princess

Post Graduate Bitch (6,3)

Jobson & Warren’s Clegsys Ruby Red, Very excited R/W Pied was the most energetic and easy mover of the day. Big nose and nostrils with okay ears, compact body finished with good length of tail.

Penfold’s Karclosharos Amitola, Femine R/W with straight front, good well developed rib and brisket, good length of neck to well laid shoulders and suitable topline. Ear set a little high.

Vaughan’s Strawberry Fair Odinschild

Limit Bitch (7,2)

Collingwood’s Lucabrazie Christine of Chislewick Dark Br/W. Stocky bitch that won on strength of jaw, head, balance and movement. Good bone, flat skull and correct ear carriage with clear eyes.

Thorpe’s Robobull Monsoon F/W with a classic head, big nose with split roll. Good length of neck with well laid shoulders. Compact body on sufficiently boned legs and feet. Well developed chest and rib, loosing her body shape a little due to her weight. Strong rear quarters.

Kane’s Admireabull Snowdrop

Open Bitch (5,1)

Strowger & Chapman’s Stowgate Tinsel Queen for Slaughden ShCM, Fawn Pied. Movement really makes this bitch as she’s could be easily overlooked. Not the flashiest of markings or colours, but a honest bitch that motored round the ring, standard size with good classic broad flat skull, clear dark eye and large nose. Well toned body which was slightly longer cast, finished with a super tail length.

Fridlington’s Orphious Moana Lisa at Albertwood, This girl moves up to veteran class very soon and will be a serious contender when she moves classes due to her superb movement for age. She’s a tidy bitch with a flat skull, good chest and straight front, well laid shoulder with correct pear shaped body.

Judge: Sara Lamont

Judges Specials: I have photo albums full of prize cards, walls full of rosettes and shelves full of won outright trophies; however I have only three sashes, and thought this would be a appropriate judges special. As the 3 I do have hold very momentous memories that strangely related to this appointment. All won by Ch. Balfour Action Man of LaRoyal J.W the first awarded by the LBS Secretary Susan Jay at the Manchester & Counties B.C Champ show in 1998 after winning BPIS, a significant win at the time and this stands proudly framed to this day, the second awarded at the LBS Open show in 1999 by Glynn Payne, who I currently have close connections with due to Junior Bulldog Club involvement. The final was at the JBC Champ show where Terry Brampton awarded us BIS and our first breed champion. 10 years later I can still remember and rekindle these wins, and I hope maybe the owners of the winners at this show will look back with fond memories, and maybe do the same with their sashes.
