RICHMOND CHAMPIONSHIP DOG SHOW

Judges Critiques

Mrs L TYLER-JACKSON

Judging: Hound Group, Whippet

Many thanks to the committee for inviting me to award my first set of CCs in a breed I first judged in 2004; to my very efficient stewards, and to the exhibitors for entrusting me with their hounds. I was looking for a well-balanced scopy hound with curvy outline and sound, free flowing movement. Lots of quality on display especially in the bitches. A few fused teeth, not as many as in previous appointments; some going close behind. It was very hot and humid, and a few hounds did not move with the freedom that their conformation suggested they were capable of.

Class 1809 VD (4 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 3831 SHEPHERD, Miss S J Ch Citycroft Sundae With Oxana JW Sh.CM ShCEx, f/w 7 y/o, it has been fascinating to watch this boy develop from puppy to champion and now to veteran and he is looking in great shape. Scopy, elegant, masculine without coarseness, presented in super show condition and moving as well if not better than in his youth. BV, close up for RCC.
2nd: 3770 ALLANSSON, Miss C & MACDONALD, Mr R Nattah Echo in the Mist over Macalldon, blue fawn 9 y/o, good for size and well balanced, curves in the right places, moves really well with no sign of his age, just preferred front of 1.

Class 1810 MPD (2 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 3839 TYSON, Mr Craig & TYSON, Mrs Louise & TYSON, Miss STARCEYLON DANCING MASTER, striking black, really elegant with textbook conformation, stands over plenty of ground, good angles both ends, in gleaming coat and he moves with such freedom and drive, lovely to watch. Ample forechest and good feet with springy pasterns, at 7 months he still has some maturing to do in body but all the promise in the world. BP.

Class 1813 YD (3 Entries) Abs: 0
1st: 3843 WHEELER, Mr Rob Ch Ranveli Diki Diki, this strikingly elegant silver brindle took my eye immediately with his beautiful outline, all sweeping curves and plenty of scope. Lovely head with pleasing expression and dark eye, fine ear, super lay of shoulder, clean front and spring of pastern, standing over plenty of ground, strong rear with well-let down hocks, excellent free daisycutting profile movement and clean out and back, a lovely hound. CC.
2nd: 3815 MILUK, Mrs J & MILUK, Mr R TUMBLERS ADAGIO, br/w with plenty of substance, decent front with good fill and return, good depth of chest, strong rear, moved well enough. Topline rather overdone for my taste and a bit short in loin.

Class 1814 ND (8 Entries) Abs: 2
1st: 3802 HIGGINBOTTOM, Miss ELLEN Natalie Ranveli Royal Duke Of Dawnsafon, light fawn 10 month pup, very nice head and front, good angles both ends, well muscled rear and low hocks, he moved very well with good footfall and covering the ground, just needs to firm up in topline which should come with age, easy winner here.
2nd: 3825 SAXBY, Miss K Sandspring Sea Master, fawn, quite a nice head, straighter in front than 1; good depth of chest and tuckup, curvy topline, good fallaway and tailset. Moved OK in profile, not as tidy out and back as 1.
3rd: 3790 CHELSEA, Ms Katharina Moleswell Osborne

Class 1815 GD (9 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 3782 BUNNEY, Ms Susan E Bunehug Let It Be Me, fawn/white, up to size, masculine head with dark eye, good front, fill and return of upper arm, curvy topline, well-muscled rear and moved accordingly, a touch short in loin for my taste but not to a fault.
2nd: 3842 WEBBER, Ms D Lolani Ride a Wild Trail JW, silver brindle, very nice type, good for size with a really nice head and strong jaw, stands over ground and has broad thighs and low hocks, movement was sound and clean but not quite the free stride in profile of 1.
3rd: 3790 CHELSEA, Ms Katharina Moleswell Osborne


Class 1816 PGD (6 Entries) Abs: 1

This was a really nice class with three excellent males of different types.
1st: 3771 SOFFE, Miss Carly Zoraden Macchiato JW, masked fawn/white, neat and compact with excellent conformation all round, all curves and no exaggerations, very well handled and he comes into his own on the move, superb extension and drive which won him the class.
2nd: 3832 SHEPHERD, Miss S J Kidaruka It's Showtime At Oxana JW, another really classy hound, masculine in outlook, really well constructed and a touch scopier than 1, thought he would be my winner stacked but he did not put himself out on the move as I have seen him do and could not match 1’s profile movement, though totally sound and clean. Preferred size to 3 who has a lovely outline and sound as a bell, but just too much of him for me.
3rd: 3841 WEBBER, Ms D Denimblue Willdo JW


Class 1817 LD (9 Entries) Abs: 2
1st: 3780 WILTON-CLARK, Miss Jane Shalfleet Making Waves, blue brindle; so elegant with a classic head and expression, flat skull and dark eye.

RCC.
2nd: 3778 BINGHAM, Mrs D Lolani Jazzed Up, refined fawn with white trim, pleasing head and outline, good front and feet, decent rear, moved pretty well all round, would like depth of brisket carried back a touch further.

Best SpBeginner.
2nd: 3790 CHELSEA, Ms Katharina Moleswell Osborne, solid fawn of a different type to many here, head OK though a bit round in eye and would like more fill in foreface, but he is well made all through with plenty of scope, and having been told afterwards that this was his first ever show at 18 months, he handled it all extremely well and moved very nicely once he settled.
3rd: 3812 MCCREDIE, Mrs Cherry Harerunner Heavenly Mover


Class 1820 VB (5 Entries) Abs: 0

Class 1824 YB (5 Entries) Abs: 1
1st: 3804 HOWGATE, Mr M & HULL, Ms Y Palmik Truth About Love JW, the word that immediately springs to mind for this lovely young fawn is ‘class’. Beautiful outline with curves in all the right places, from her neat feminine head to her low set hocks everything is in proportion and harmonious in balance with no exaggerations anywhere, pin sharp out and back and with a superb free flowing stride in profile which covers the ground effortlessly, a real eye-filler. CC, her first, and BOB.

2nd: 3848 WILLIAMS, Mrs K H Tigsisle Frost And Flame, blue f/w, petite and feminine, well balanced angulation, moved pretty well all round, ample scope, well-let down hocks, a nice bitch who needs careful assessment as her markings don’t flatter her.

1st: 3768 LONGHURST, Mrs & Miss Angela & Abbeygail Abbeyhurst Dancing Queen JW, blue fawn, really liked this elegant scopy girl, textbook construction all though, excellent flowing topline, made a pleasing picture stacked but really shines on the move with lovely long, low, free strides and great drive from powerful quarters. Still not at full maturity and more to come from her. RCC.
2nd: 3807 JONES, Mrs W & JONES, Dr N Mac Bells Purple Patch over Chelynnah (Swed Imp), pretty blue brindle, petite and feminine with well-balanced angulation, clean out and back and good in profile too, though could not quite match 1 in this regard.
