SHOW REPORTS

CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW 15th NOVEMBER 2009

Weimaraner Club of Scotland – Breed Championship Show

Sunday 15^th 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

1^st 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

1^st Clarkes’ Sireva the Italian Job for Coastedge.

2^nd 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 1^st placing.

PUPPY DOG: 6

1^st 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.

2^nd Clarkes’ Sireva the Italian Job for Coastedge

JUNIOR DOG: 3

1^st 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.

2^nd 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 1^st dog.

3^rd Barrs’ Windlegrey Phantom

YEARLING DOG: 1

1^st Dixons’ Robricci Alfie Romeo.

MAIDEN DOG: 3

1^st Clarkes’ Sireva the Italian Job for Coastedge

2^nd 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

1^st Simpsons’ Hundwith Duty to Sireva

2^nd Clarkes’ Sireva the Italian Job for Coastedge

GRADUATE DOG: 3

1^st Dixons’ Robricci Alfie Romeo,

2^nd 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

1^st 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.

2^nd 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 1^st placed dog.

LIMIT DOG 9:3abs

1^st 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 1^st CC and RBIS – richly deserved.

2^nd 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

1^st 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.

2^nd 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 1^st placed dog, also another handler out of the top drawer.

VETERAN BITCH 5:1abs

1^st Halliwells’ ShCh Fenaybeck First Impression of Bluebex

2^nd 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.

3^rd MacLaine & Dickinsons Ir ShCh Tasairid Outlook ShCM

MINOR PUPPY BITCH: 6:1abs

1^st 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.

2^nd Radfords’ Schonhund Showdiva, puppy of good construction, pleasing outline with good shoulder and straight front, nice angulation preferred the better outline and positive movement of my 1^st

PUPPY BITCH: 4

1^st 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.

2^nd Roberts’ Graufreund Amazing Grace, well made and well angulated young puppy of good type, didn’t have the driving movement or maturity of 1^st.

JUNIOR BITCH: 3:1abs

1^st Adamos’ Robricci Miss Arati at Zakro, this young lady had just enough spark to take this class, well balanced with nice head and expression, correct front with good spring of rib, and depth throughout, moved with drive.
