Championship Show October 2000 Judges report My thanks to the club for asking me to judge the Millenium Ch. Show and everyone worked so hard to make it such a successful and happy day. I was extremely happy with my main winners and was pleased to see some nice ones coming through. On the downside, I noticed quite a few exhibits who were slack or weak in pastern accompanied by open toes and flat feet.  Some were not as short coupled and firm in loin as I would have liked.  The standard asks for firm loins and short couplings which of course complements the short but light body asked for. Movement was somewhat mixed overall and as a judge it is always disappointing to see the pleasing exhibit standing in profile, unable to back it up when asked to move. Nevertheless our breed has the stock to progress and with careful planning has a good future. Finally, I would also like to thank my two efficient stewards, Jill Pollard and Sue Lewis.

Minor Puppy Dog.
1st. Butterworth's Augustus Rolo.   B.P.I.S.
Although appearing at his first show this youngster of medium size shows promise.  Once his education in ringcraft has been improved upon we shall see what the future holds.  Head and Skull proportions were good and he pleased with his dark eye and well placed erect ears.  Took time to settle but eventually produced reasonable movement with good stride.

Junior Dog.
1st. Sandeman's Loki the Loyal
Scored in head with nice breadth of skull, moderate stop and good wedge shape.  Strong in body with nice topline and tailset.  Erratic on the move and in his underclothes, but enjoyed his day.  Moved better in later class.

Special Yearlng dog.
1st. Penzer's Trelowen Dregyn
Compact and well balanced on the move, this lad was a little too strong in head for me and I would have preferred a darker eye.  He scored in neck, topline and tailset and moved straight fore and aft with good drive from the rear.

2nd. Sandeman's Loki the Loyal

Post Graduate Dog.
1st . Blight's Rosechow Patrick
Pleased in head with good wedge shape, expressive eye and well placed ears. In full coat which was shedding and whilst compact and short, he could have been a bit lighter in body in relation to length of leg.   Moved out quite well, showing level topline and good tailset.

Limit Dog
1st. Solomon's Trelowen Touryk.
Definitely one for the future, this 2½yrs old dog was presented in nice coat and condition,is well balanced, has nice lines and moves out straight fore and aft with good hind action. Good head and skull proportions and scored in neck and body.  I had a good look at him for the DRCC and will watch his progress with interest.

2nd. Deacon, Deacon and Cobb's. Knytshall Morsom.
Laid back character who pleased in head and expression with strong hindquarters shown to good advantage on the move. Unfortunately he was a little weak on front pasterns and being longer cast than 1 he was not so firm in loin.

3rd Jacques Trelowen Mynrew.
Scored in head and skull with good width between ears and nice wedge, dark eye and well placed ears.   Shown in good coat and condition but not moving too well at the rear.


4th Beaton's Trelowen Sendal
Cheery character who moved out quite well front and rear.   Short and compact, nice head and tail set and showing a level topline on the move.  A little short on leg for me.

5th Frost & Treadwell's Frostisen Rhett Butler.
Not a happy lad today and did not show himself off to advantage.   Just coming into coat and all over the place on the move.   Hope to see him on a better day in the future.

Open Dog
1st  Frost's Ir.Ch. Frostisen Quadroon.   Dog CC & B.I.S.
Quality exhibit just coming into his own and looking a winner to me as soon as I saw him. Scored in head, body and coat.  Handled and put down so well.  Just the right size and was balanced form all angles, moving straight and true, covering the ground effortlessly with no weakness at front or rear and showing neat feet and correct tuck up.  Should go far.

2nd Denham-Horton's Ch. Olpenden D'Zimbadog rCC
Another quality exhibit who pleased in head, dark expressive eye and well placed and erect ears.  Not as good in front as 1, but looks outstanding in profile, with good tailset, neat feet and presented in nice coat and condition.  Not as positive on the move as 1, and had to give way on this occasion.

3rd  Deuchar's Ch. Fullani Flekkefjord.
Presented in good coat and condition with head and skull of good proportion, dark eye and well used ears.  Strong and short in body, firm loin and nice set on.  A little lazy on the move but covered the ground adequately.


4th Vine's Ch. Trelowen Canmel.
Not overshadowed by previous three dogs and completing a quality line up.  Still putting all in and scored in head and good breadth between ears and correct muzzle and stop.  Moved out nicely showing good tailset and neat feet.

Veteran Dog

1st Vine's Ch. Trelowen Jaudyn.
Shown in cracking coat and condition with head, eyes, ears and topline all plus points.  Not out of place in CC lineup and moved soundly to take the class, holding a nice topline and giving everyone a chance to see his quality.

2nd Deuchar's Ch. Wolfen Just In Time.
Another quality champion who is showing his worth with pleasing offspring in the ring today.   Good head proportions, nice skull shape and well placed ears.  Moved out with nice lines and strong rear end.

3rd Jacques Trelowen Mynfrew

Special Vintage Dog
1st Purves' Bulabs Sonneret
What a smooth character, laid back but moving so well and at 12 years old thoroughly enjoying his day.   Scored in head with nice eye, well used ears and steady topline.Attentive at all times and presented in excellent condition.

Junior Bitch
1st  Sercombe's Uniquely Ulla at Trelowen.
Pretty and feminine with nicely shaped head of good proportion, dark expressive eye and well placed ears.   A little loose in front and weak in pastern.   Could be shorter coupled, nevertheless moved out quite well from the rear.


Special Yearling Bitch
1st  Jacques' Trelowen Favera.
Attractive young lady who asks for attention.   Lean and nicely shaped head with dark eye and moderate stop.  Sharply pointed and well used ears, light body and nice tailset.  A little loose in front but moved out well to take the class.

2nd  Sercombe's Ichmoran Zanta at Trelowen.
Longer cast than 1 and down on pasterns at front.  Scored in head, eye and ears with nice wedge and a strong jaw.  Moved out well from rear.


3rd  Purves, Purves & Hearson's Jumasue Wind Dancer.
Not a happy showgirl who kept dropping her tail but showed enough to score in head and body shape with a nice eye and expression.  Hope she gains more confidence.

Post-Graduate Bitch
1st  McLaren & Denham-Horton's Ichmoran Azizi to Olpenden.
Pretty as a picture, medium size and showing nice lines in profile.  Pleased in head shape with correct stop and muzzle length, strong in jaw and with good dentition.   Presented in lovely coat and moved adequately though a little weak in pastern and slack in toe at front.

2nd  Blight's Rosechow River Dancer.
Close up to 1 with nice head shape, good wedge and well placed mobile ears.  Steady topline and good set on were emphasised on the move. Whilst compact and strong I would have preferred a somewhat lighter body.

3rd  Jacques'  Trelowen Favera

4th  Meadows'  Shamead Black Liberator  Best black.
Pleasant character who went about her business in a workmanlike way.  Nice head shape, erect ears, deep chest and compact body with nice tail set.  Hind movement let her down.


5th  Frost's Frostisen Stranger Stacey.  Best Puppy bitch.
A little too strong in bone and body for me and not helping her handler on the move.  Head shape, eye and ears were plus points.  She has time on her side to settle into herself.

Limit Bitch
1st  Sercombe's Trelowen AquillaBitch r.C.C.   Quality exhibit who was well balanced and shown in good coat and condition.  Good breadth of head and skull, nice wedge and medium muzzle and pleased in eye, ears and neck.  Well made in body with good rib, tuck-up and short coupled.  Tail well set on and moved out well.

2nd  Mayer's Trelowen Sylva Redneck to Tapui.    Could push 1 hard on another day. Attractive and medium sized, she is nicely balanced all over and free from exaggeration. Unfortunately she was in her underclothes and fresh from maternal duties, but her quality is there for all to see.  Pleased in head, eye, neck, topline and tailset. Moved out well fore and aft.

3rd  Stonton's Noorabli Classic Sola at Chayandi.    Another nice specimen and a little more of her than 2.  Nice head shape, kind eye and well placed ears were plus points. Showed nice lines on the move and was not out of place in this line-up.  She has plenty of time on her side.

4th  Purves' Bulabs Polly Anne.  Compact and of nice size with a deep chest and short couplings.  Nice head shape, strong jaws and good dentition.  Not too happy and hind movement let her down.

5th  Deacon, Deacon & Cobb's Dewin Gwenifer at Knytshall.    More substantially made than 1-4 with nice head shape, though lightish eye detracted somewhat. Presented in good coat and condition and though a little laid back moved out adequately once settle.

6th  Blight's Rosechow Molly Malone at Rikarlo.    Lovely character with pleasing head and expression.  Short and compact but heavy in body and down on front pasterns.  Scored in topline and tailset.

Open Bitch
1st  Purves, Purves & Hearson's Ch. Rikarlo Skylark from Jumasue   Bitch C.C., res. B.i.S Quality all round, balanced and compact she showed herself off for all to see.  Presented in nice coat and condition, she scored in head shape and proportions, dark eye and just the right length of neck.  Deep chest, good rib and short coupled, she displayed nice lines whilst moving soundly fore and aft.

2nd  Sercombe's Trelowen Gin'N Tonic.     Pretty and feminine and of medium size, she pleased with her dark expressive eye, good wedge shaped head and general outline. Compact and nicely made with a good rear end, she covered the ground well on the move. Quality exhibit.

3rd  Coleopy's Ch. Skadsemgaardens Freia Priskills at Fullani.    Different type to 1 and 2 and more of her.  Presented in lovely coat and condition and scored in head shape, eye and ears with deep chest, level topline and good set on with double curl. Not so light and positive on the move as I would have liked but completed a quality first three.

4th  Frost's Frostisen Ruby Red.   Not happy and not helping her handler at first.  Once settled she showed a nice outline, dark eye, straight front and strong hindquarters. Somewhat erratic on the move.

5th  Meadows' Shamead Black Liberator

Veteran Bitch
1st  Wallbank's Ch Dewin Ffion.  Best Veteran bitch.    Nice to see this lady in the ring once again, looking in excellent nick and showing all the qualities that took her to her title. When standing she showed plenty in front and scored with her head shape, topline and size. Moved out well.

Vintage Bitch
1st  Deacon, Deacon and Cobb's  Knytshall Inka.     Sprightly 11 yr old looking in good shape and nicely presented and handle.  Pleased in head and eye and moved well showing a nice topline and tailset.  A credit to the breed and her owner.
