Mr Kevan Berry (Ricksbury)

My grateful thanks to the Officers and Committee for giving me the opportunity to judge their Breed Open Show.  A pity we had such a long wait for the ring to come available and some of the dogs must have been fed up of waiting.  A delightful breed which I enjoyed judging immensely.  I did have a job to find the natural flocked coat and there were quite a lot of white nails.  I was delighted with my main winners which pleased me a lot.  I would like to thank the exhibitors for bring their dogs under me and to my stewards who kept everything moving smoothly

JD (3,0)

1 Dowty & Davidson Lafford Hero a well balance young dog with good head proportions.  He has excellent pigmentation and a nice square outline.  Showed well and had a natural flocked coat.  RBD

2 Franklin Starexpress Itialian Dream a smaller built dog who could have been strong in his pigment. He was a little reluctant to show off his virtues, probably fed up having had a long day.

3 Holliday Belstown Merlau Blackbird

ND (2, 1)

1 Whateley Arkadian Marcus Maximus a square outlined dog with a pleasing well balanced head.  A good flocked coat.  He had good feet but I would have liked strong pigment to his toe nails.

LD (3, 1)

1 Mulligan Donocielo Ceasario a nice typy dog with a good eye and nice expression.  Excellent pigmentation and a coat of the correct texture.  I would have liked him a touch shorter in body.

2 Towers Enjanicka Midnight Blue smaller framed dog with a nice coat and has good pigmentation.  He moved and showed quiet well.

OD (4, 2)

1 Dowty IR GIB DUT Ch Little White Wonder Othello Matteo a lovely well-presented dog with the desired flock coat.  So well-constructed square and compact.  He has good oval feet which were well pigmented.  He displayed a lovely outline on the move and went really well.  He is an excellent example of this breed BD and BIS.

2 Towers Tumbril Timelord he is higher on the leg than the winner.  He has a pleasing head and lovely temperament and moved well.

VD (1, 0)

1 Hopkins Strophair Luigi a lovely well-balanced dog belying his age.  Sound and so well balanced.  He has a good outline, excellent pigment and lovely dark, round, expressive eye.  BV

MPB (2, 1)

1 Mulligan Donocielo Giulietta BPB and BPIS a quality 9 months puppy of super shape.  Well-proportioned body, a pleasing head.  Her coat was of a good texture.  She has sound and steady on the move with a good temperament.  She should have a bright future.

PB (1, 0)

1 Stanley Stanhome Katherine Hepburn nice size and a good shape.  She was however reluctant to show off her many virtues.

JB (5, 0) Nice class but rather mixed for type

1 Dowty Clarchmen Rock with You lovely outline with a very pretty head and strong pigmentation.  She was so well balanced throughout.  A lovely square outline in good coat and condition.  Well presented.

2 Hewitson Belstown Cheeky Pumpkin at Moorhey similar remarks apply; well balanced in body of excellent size.  I particularly like her flocked coat.  A close decision on this placing.

3 Stanley Calendar Girl with Stanhome

NB (2, 1)

1 Whateley Arkadion Beloved Diana small well-balanced bitch with good pigmentation.  She is a little loose in front but with a happy disposition.

LB (4, 0) Another nice class

1 Mulligan Donocielo Cassia she won this class as she was the best mover in the show.  Her movement is sound back and front.  She has a lovely head with excellent pigmentation; large dark appealing eyes.  Has good oval feet and strong pigmentation. RBB

2 Thatcher Devonia’s Red Hot Sumner very similar to the winner just not quiet as positive on the move.

3 Johnson Biancopale Shining Star

OB (7, 2)

1 Franklin Starexpress Mystery Girl wonderfully presented bitch.  This bitch had the best eyes of the entry today, large, dark, sparkling and well set in her well-proportioned head.   Has dense pigmentation, a well-balanced body again with good oval feet.  BB, she complimented the dog for type very well on the challenge.

2 McArdell Tumbril Tantrums and Tiaras at Phendelle another nice bitch of the correct size.  She displayed a lovely outline on the move.  She was in excellent coat and condition.  Once again excellent pigmentation.
