Bitches Judged byDavid Cavill

I have long been looking forward to this appointment and I was not disappointed. I was delighted with the overall quality of the entry and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my day. I was delighted that Irene Hernandez and I agreed that my bitches were BOB and RBIS and that the dog puppy was clearly best puppy

MPB (4)

1. & RBPIS Croft's Doubtwell Amazing Grace, this bitch has a cracking outline, it's really as close to perfect as you're going to get even though she's only 7 months old, nice level back, beautiful tailset, moved very well for a youngster, with a lovely head and expression.
2. Kembrey's Dalmark The Sand Witch, liver, spotting just a little dense round the ears, a nicely shaped dog, just on 6 months and not quite got her stride coordinated so not moving evenly as a result, nice outline though and she should do well in the future.
3. Avard & Petry's Ellemstra Raynbows End For Rieyonne, this bitch is just beginning to get to the adolescent stage so hasn't quite got her forehand or hind quarters together, little bit heavy in the neck, with too much rise over the loin.

PB (7)

1. Adderley's Phadante Bohemian Rhapsody, this is a fabulous dog, a little too short in back but on the move she is excellent and in many ways has got a lovely outline, short coupled and very nice dog indeed.
2. Dore's Daldior Ace Of Diamonds, probably the best moving dog in the class but a little too long in back this time.
3. Whincup's Tamilanda Lilly The Pink, another slightly longer dog, but otherwise a nice outline. For youngsters they all moved very well.

JB (13)

1. Rose's Candidals Flirty Franky, beautiful mover, lovely head, level back, very nicely marked, very feminine bitch, a delight.
2. Alexander Offordale Solitaire, another very good one, perhaps a little straighter in the hind quarter, but nevertheless did move extremely well, lovely outline as she flowed round the ring.
3. Whiting's Cibrith China Aster, another nice one, a little fine in the loin, but nevertheless an excellent example of the breed, carrying her tail a little too high.

YB (7)

1. Brayshay-Allen's Sassafras Brown Sugar, very nicely shaped bitch, perhaps a little tall but moved extremely well, lovely head and expression, excellent outine.
2. Richardson's Buffrey Lightening Strike Among Mapplewell, very nicely marked bitch, perhaps a little short in the neck but another good mover, good head and expression.
3. Tingey's Phaeland Pheonix Phorever By Dalldador JW, nice bitch, but too square and on the chunky side really, not enough tuck up.

MB (7)

1. Rapson & Beastall's Pandamax Aphrodite, lovely bitch, rather sparsely marked, beautiful outline, lovely head, moved exceptionally well.
2. Phadante Bohemian Rhapsody.
3. Cibrith China Aster.

NB (18)

1. Richardson's Mapplewell Hot Fudge, fraction on the heavy side as she's five years old, but she behaved impeccably in the ring, moved extremely well, lovely outline, little plain in head, perhaps could lose a pound, but otherwise very nice.
2. Marston's Dakata Ducks Deluxe, bit of a flippity gibbet in the ring, nice outline, well marked.
3. Phadante Bohemian Rhapsody.

GB (14)

Huge class but a lot of absentees which was a great shame.
1. Page's Winflash Magic Mystery JW, gorgeous dog, beautiful outline, lovely head and expression, well marked.
2. Kembrey's Dalmark The Super Sleuth JW, slightly shorter in neck, nice dog though, with good tailset and carriage, nice head, again moved very well.
3. Richardson's Pearly Naughty Las At Jomihvar, (not available for report)

PGB (9)

1. Lewis's Hunterswood Lyric, little on the small side, I would like a little more marking, beautiful outline though and moved extraordinarily well; lovely expression.
2. Adderley's Phadante Follow that Dream, several of the dogs in this class were a rather too heavier and up to size but this bitch, although a little short in back, moved very well and was well marked.
3. Pilgrim's Olbero One To Charm At Weaponness, Another fairly solid bitch - not the best class of the day.

LB (14)

1. RBB & RBIS Wright's Angelic Aphrodite For Millbelle JW ShCM, this is an absolutely gorgeous bitch, lovely size, beautiful reach of neck, moved supremely well, beautifully marked, lovely expression, tail carriage set precisely right, beautiful feet, excellent.
2. Addy's Creaganbrec Rosie Cotton JW ShCM, a little shorter in back than 1., but another very good example of the breed, excellent outline, very well marked, good feet, moved very well.
3. Neal's Time Traveller To Tolkain, again a very nice outlined bitch, tail carriage set a fraction low and a little straighter in shoulder and shorter in back but still a nice example of the breed.

OB (9)

The best class of the day, some really lovely Dalmatians in this class.
1. BB & BIS Alexander's Offordale White Lady JW, beautiful example of the breed, lovely outline, moved extremely well, excellent markings, lovely head and expression, superb feet.
2. Rose's Washakie Idaho By Candidals, more heavily marked and perhaps a little shorter in back but a very elegant example of the breed who moved extremely well, another one with good feet.
3. Lewis's Hunterswood Razzmatazz JW ShCM, more lightly marked but another very good example of the breed, beautiful proportions, holding herself too stretched at the front which spoiled her outline slightly, but third of a very good lot.

SJV (7)

1. Richardson's Ch. Jomihvar in Vin Sybil JW, this is a gorgeous bitch, delightful expression, very well marked, excellent feet, for her age she is just excellent, nearly nine and looking fantastic.
2. Richardson's Dalmark Moon Europa JW, another excellent bitch, carrying a little more weight, but lovely outline, beautiful dog.
3. Baker's Oneowun Vienna, not the expression of 1 and 2, shorter in back but still very nice indeed.

SSV (3)

1. Marston's Mystical Jade, this is 131/2 years old, very nice indeed, lean and fit and looking terrific, great outline, greying round the muzzle but otherwise lovely.
2. Ford's Kayjule Princess Jasmin ShCM, clearly excellent example of the breed, carrying a bit too much weight..
