WEIMARANER
CLUB OF
Weimaraner Club of Scotland – Breed
Championship Show
Sunday 15th November 2009
My first time
awarding CC’s, thank you to the officers and
committee of the Weimaraner Club of Scotland for inviting me to judge this
Championship show, to award CC’s in any breed is an
honour but to be invited to judge a breed that one has loved and owned for over
twenty years is a very special honour, so thank you.
Thank you also to my
stewards Moira and Paul who looked after me so well, and also to Seonaid, what
can I say except you were all brilliant.
_________
VETERAN DOG: 1
1st Malcolms’ Morganna Malcolm ShCM, 8
years, certainly doesn’t look his age, powerfully built and of good type,
lovely flowing and driving action on the move.
MINOR PUPPY DOG: 7
1st
Clarkes’ Sireva the Italian Job for Coastedge.
2nd Simpson's Sireva Final Straw,
two raw youngsters with not a lot to choose between them, both of good colour, with nice heads and level top lines. Loose on the move as one would expect, but
both were loving their day, preferred the better
balance of my 1st placing.
PUPPY DOG: 6
1st
Ruddys’ Netherhill Designed, lovely well developed puppy, super outline,
nice earset, and length of ear, good shoulder
placement and length of rib. Moderate angulation,
covered the ground purposefully on the move, very nice puppy indeed.
2nd Clarkes’ Sireva the Italian Job for Coastedge
JUNIOR DOG: 3
1st Dixons’ Robricci Alfie Romeo, upstanding dog developing nicely, balanced
head, good length of neck and strong topline, correct
tailset with good rear angulation,
moved well, one for the future.
2nd Simpsons’ Hundwith Duty to Sireva, another dog that is sure to do well, super
head and length of ear, clean neck and strong top line. Moderate
angualtion, preferred the more positive movement of
my 1st dog.
3rd
Barrs’ Windlegrey Phantom
YEARLING DOG: 1
1st
Dixons’ Robricci Alfie Romeo.
MAIDEN DOG: 3
1st Clarkes’ Sireva the Italian Job for Coastedge
2nd Clarks’ Brackenmist Stormfront, Nice outline with nothing overdone pleasing
head and expression, lovely front coupling and length of rib, movement was a
little difficult to access as he was very much a baby, just as one would expect
at this age.
NOVICE DOG: 4
1st Simpsons’ Hundwith Duty to Sireva
2nd Clarkes’ Sireva the Italian Job for Coastedge
GRADUATE DOG: 3
1st Dixons’ Robricci Alfie Romeo,
2nd Colemans’ Brackenmist Chill
Factor. very raw baby with all the right essentials, nice
head and eye, pleasing outline, just needed a little more confidence on the
move, but I am sure that will come with age.
POST GRADUATE DOG: 6:1abs
1st Howarth/Thompson
& Alcorns’ Caleydene
Cream Puff, won this class with a little to spare, head
and expression as the standard calls for, clean neck into well set shoulders,
lovely length of rib, and correct tailset, best mover
in the class.
2nd Bannermans’ Calais Winged Song, a dog who stood well over his ground, nice
expression and well laid shoulders, correct angulation,
just didn’t have the more positive movement of my 1st placed dog.
LIMIT
DOG 9:3abs
1st Adamos’ Zakro Elvis Presley JW, wow,
how this dog has matured since I last judged him. I loved him then and nothing has
changed. When you get your hands on him,
nothing is exaggerated in any way, for me he is a very typey
dog with the best of heads, strong clean neck, well placed shoulders, good length
of loin, super angulation, nice to see muscle on the second
thigh, moved around the ring with power and enthusiasm, well presented, he did
enough for me to be awarded his 1st CC and RBIS – richly deserved.
2nd Batty &
Smiths’ Almoor Lord of the Dance, this dog cannot be overlooked for his type
and ring presence. Most of the above can
be leveled at this dog, well balanced with good head
and level topline.
Not overdone in anyway and is superb on the move, well handled.
OPEN DOG: 11:2abs
What
a strong class and so full of Quality
1st Dyers’ ShCh Sharnphilly Awesome JW ShCM, the last time I judged this dog, I think it
was over four years ago, and I wrote Awesome by name and Awesome by nature, a
dog of outstanding quality, good type and construction, super outline with the
best of heads, lovely flowing neck and shoulder placement, good length of rib
and loin, powerful rear coupling which was used to good effect on the move,
there is no doubt this superb handler gets the best out of this dog RCC well done.
2nd McAngus & Alcorn's
ShCh Gunalt Inquisiter at Greyfurs JW ShCM another
dog I judged a while ago and loved, nothing very much to choose between these
two superb examples of the breed, and the above attributes apply just preferred
the better driving movement of my 1st placed dog, also another
handler out of the top drawer.
VETERAN BITCH 5:1abs
1st Halliwells’ ShCh Fenaybeck First Impression of Bluebex
2nd Rutlands’ Khamsynn Cocnut Dream JW ShCM,
nothing much to chose between these two ladies both standing over a lot of
ground, lovely heads with alert expression, level topline
and when on the move both belied their age, thank you for showing them under
me.

& Dickinsons Ir ShCh Tasairid Outlook ShCM

1st Haseleys’ Gunalt Sheerspark,
fell in love with this baby, very feminine with the sweetest of heads and
correct length of ear well laid shoulder and depth of chest, and length of rib,
nicely angulated rear, and moved so well for such a young puppy, time I am sure
will be the making of her, very well handled, had no hesitation in awarding her
BPB and BPIS well deserved.

puppy of good construction, pleasing outline with good shoulder and straight
front, nice angulation preferred the better outline
and positive movement of my 1st
PUPPY BITCH: 4
1st Milbys’ Teguise Grace n Favour, lovely bitch with the best of heads, well
balanced with good depth and ribbing, correct angulations. Best mover in this class, but for some reason
she didn’t have that sparkle in the challenge for Best Puppy Bitch.
2nd Roberts’ Graufreund Amazing Grace, well made and well angulated young puppy of good type, didn’t
have the driving movement or maturity of 1st.
JUNIOR BITCH: 3:1abs

take this class, well balanced with nice head and expression, correct front
with good spring of rib, and depth throughout, moved with drive.

at Greyfurs,
bitch of sound construction with plenty of bone, nice flowing lines and
