OKEHAMPTON & DCS - 18TH SEPTEMBER 2016
DALMATIANS – G 1, BOB & BP Edens’ Dalens A Spot of Trouble. Two very
promising bitches who I liked for type, substance and temperament. 1 showed
very well and had good proportions and outline, pretty head, good tail set and
carriage and positive mover. Pleased to see she went onto win the utility puppy
group – well done. 2 & RBOB Edens’ Dalens Bethany Char. 3 Jackson’s Aphadel
Can’t Buy Me Love. O 1 D A Spot of Trouble. 2 D Bethany Char.
AVNSC HOUND – O 1 & BNSC Ashton’s Bribiba Cuan Ghra of Madalinca, Irish
Wolfhound. Full of breed type, plenty of substance, dark eyes, straight front, good
depth of chest and moved smoothly and accurately in all directions with a strong
rear, a nice prospect. 2 & RBNSC McConville’s Ottaryx Ouzel, Otterhound. 3
McConville’s Ottaryx Mulberry.
AV HOUND – P 1 Rudkin’s Dynastydax Peter Pan. Min Smooth Dachs. A super
puppy who is developing nicely, appealing head with nice eye shape and rich
colour, ears were expressive in use, long neck leading into a firm level topline
which remained strong on the move. 2 Ashton’s Madalinca Spring Creena. Irish
Wolfhound. 3 Rudkin’s Dynastydax Tiger Lily. Min Smooth Dachs.
AV HOUND – V 1 Small’s Metewand Mamabula, Afghan Hound. In superb
condition, coat is long and fine and she looks half her age, holding her head high
and in that correct dignified manner, she moves with a spring in her step but so
effortless, a real credit to her owner 2 Carter’s Diecisiete Mandarina at Afilador,
Ibizan Hound.
HOUND GROUP: 1 Small’s Garmond Spice Berry JW ShCM, Afghan. Have judged
this beautiful girl around 18 months ago where she took BOB in a quality breed
entry and won the hound group under me. She has blossomed into a gorgeous
typy Afghan oozing breed type from her oriental expression right down to her
ring in her tail. She makes a superb balanced picture in the stack with laid back
shoulders but strong front angulation, long neck, deep chest, firm back and
powerful quarters with good width. She floats around the ring with style and
accuracy and the overall picture is finished off with a correct fine and long coat
that has been groomed to a high standard. G2 Irish Wolfhound. G3 Ibizan Hound.
G4 Beagle. HOUND PUPPY GROUP – 1 Min Smooth Dachs. 2 Ibizan Hound. 3
Beagle.
Best hound reserve BOB – Otterhound, who got better and better the more he
came into the ring, made a strong balanced outline and was an excellent mover.
FINNISH LAPPHUND – G 1 and RBOB Treasure’s Lapinlumon Pilvipouta for
Infindigo. Full of character and with a super temperament, she has a nice head
with good size erect ears that were set well and used expressively, stood on
strong legs and with good width to front, well ribbed and body slightly longer
than height, has a good tail set and carriage, was carrying a bit too much weight
for my taste and her coat was a bit wavy. O – 1 and BOB Treasure’s Infindigo
Riemu Emmi ShCM. Very attentive and lively, super ear set and shape, nice
expression, strong forelegs but could do with more width of front, good for body
proportions, excellent depth of chest and well ribbed, firm in back, moderate
rear angulation and strong pasterns, moved with plenty of reach and drive. 2
Treasure’s Tabanyaruu Karuselli Miika.
AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD – O 1 and BOB West’s Love Story of Fender Song for
Shepalian. It was close between 1 and 2, little to separate these flashy litter
sisters. Both have attractive heads, good for shape and are balanced with
medium well set triangular ears, good lay back of shoulder, well bodied up and
powerful rear, stood on sturdy legs and tight feet. Just preferred the free
movement of 1. 2 seemed to look a little stiff in her front assembly on the move.
2 and RBOB Cousins’ Love In a Mist of Fender Song for Moortime JW. 3 West’s
Amberslade Michigan at Shepalian CDEX UDEX.
SAMOYED – G 1 and BP Willcock’s Blossom Rain Moonlight Song of Dynar. Full of
life and showing typical ‘smiling’ expression, good pigment, good head and tail
carriage on the move, coat growing nicely and presented in clean condition,
showed and handled very well. O – 1 and BOB Argyle’s Elygra Ice Knights Legacy.
A mature dog in excellent coat and condition with a very striking head and typy
expression, very good dark pigment and good width of head and strong muzzle,
stood soundly on strong well feathered feet, good spring of rib and firm in back,
good rear angulation, tail carried highly and moved accurately in all directions. 2

Valleyhaven. Good body size, appealing head, good width and sweet expression
with sensitive tipped ears and overall in proportion to body, straight front,
moderate bone, made a nice outline in the stack, moved with purpose, a little
untidy when moving away but very expressive in head. 2 & RBOB Patman’s Pick
Pocket Via Samhaven. POLISH LOWLAND G – 1 & BP Burdett-Coutts & CousinsBrown’s Dobrany Dorianblue Odyssi. Gorgeous puppy who was friendly and a
real handful for the handler, excellent pigment, strong round feet, good
proportions and size, coat developing nicely. O – 1 & BOB Sweet’s Chrevle
Zophire. Made a good outline and balanced shape, excellent pigment, head of
good size and shape, lively and friendly temperament, accurate movement going
for and aft, she won this class on showmanship where she also stood solid and
four-square. 2 & RBOB Burdett-Coutts’ Dewiza Kontekst at Chrevle. AV NSC
PASTORAL O - 1 & BNSC Hensley & Swift’s Julestar Sevannah Star, Catalan
Sheepdog. Very nice young bitch who is full of breed type and is also built so
sturdily, think the best is yet to come from her but she is so balanced and has a
pretty feminine head with round eyes that are dark in colour, good length and
lay back of shoulder, good depth of chest and ribs well sprung, moderate rear
angulation with sloping croup, she comes together well on the move with a
smooth easy gait where she could’ve gone all day. 2 & RBNSC King’s Ch Trelowen
Heligan ShCM, Norwegian Buhund. 3 & BP Hackney’s Starvon All About Me,
Swedish Vallhund. AV PASTORAL P - 1 S All About Me. 3rd in the previous class
where he was the baby but is in excellent jacket, good bone, like his head at this
stage where it has strength of foreface but good width too, intelligent expression,
his head is balanced and in proportion to his body which has a firm topline and
good depth of chest, nice width of front and strongly made rear. AV PASTORAL V
– 1 Argyle’s Elygra Ice Indiana Moon, Samoyed. Super showgirl, lovely head and
‘smiling’ Sammy expression, excellent front, smooth gait and effortless on the
move, coat is in good condition for her age. 2 Ransom’s Kirstancourt Keisha for
Trystam ShCM, Bearded Collie. 3 Hackney’s Bilnetts Ace of Clubs, GSD.
PASTORAL GROUP: 1 Hensley & Swift’s Zuberg Greta, GSD. Gave me goose bumps
when she entered the ring, full of quality and still being a young bitch, think she
has a little more maturing to do but she is so good to go over, her head is
balanced with the correct length and width of muzzle, well set ears that were
always being used, intelligent expression, strong neck, super straight front,
plenty of forechest, bone of moderate size, ribs well sprung and nice depth of
chest, topline firm and not exaggerated, strongly made rear which helped propel
her around the ring with a fluid and smooth gait, could’ve watched her move all
day long. I was very pleased to go over her and I wasn’t surprised afterwards to
be told she has six CCs. G2 Catalan Sheepdog. G3 Shetland Sheepdog. G4
Australian Shepherd. PASTORAL PUPPY – G1 Polish Lowland. G2 Swedish
Vallhund. G3 Samoyed. Best pastoral RBOB winner – Norwegian Buhund, very
smart upstanding dog who was shown and handled very well, excellent mover
and very pleasing in head.

And a real cracker he was! Wrinkles on head clearly defined, short muzzle and
good pigment, arched neck and good angulation of shoulder, strong forelegs,
short and cobby in body, well set tail with a tight curl, excelled on the move
where he strode out purposefully in all directions. Handled and shown extremely
well to win a huge strong class. 2 Ch Jimmy Choo with Loopang, Shar Pei. 3 G
