Championship Show – Sunday 10^th September 2006

Critique written by Mrs A Nerell (Sweden)

First of all I want to thank the NSW GRC for inviting me “down under” to judge their championship show. I felt very privileged and honoured.     I also want to thank the club for taking such good care of me. It has been an experience I will treasure and always remember.   I would also like to thank all the exhibitors for coming despite the most of the time heavy rain and the really hard showing conditions. THANK YOU!!

I’m sure everyone that showed under me knows by now that movement and a lovely free stride is very important to me, which meant they had to take their dogs around a few rounds. So they did, very bravely in the rain too!

I found the overall quality very good, some classes were really a joy to go over, some classes more disappointing. However, I had no difficulties in finding some really good dogs in every class.

Most of the dogs were in good coats and condition. It was sometimes a little hard to estimate because of the rain pouring down. I haven’t mentioned heads a lot in my write ups since I found good heads in most of the dogs shown under me. The pigmentation was very good with just a few exceptions.

As I mentioned, I appreciate good movement and I think you do have very good movement in your dogs, looking at them from the side. However so many of them were loose in front, coming towards you. I don’t know why that is the case, maybe something to think about when breeding?

I liked my dog CC very much as well as my runner up BOB (very close decision). Finally, I just loved my BOB she was gorgeous.

BABY PUPPY DOG

Some absentees, only three dogs to go over in the class. All three of very good quality just going through different stages in their development.

LEANR CURRENCY KID                                                          Lovely head and expression. Good pigmentation, well-angulated, good bone, very good movement.

SINDERBY PHEONIX.        Head underdeveloped. Not as well angulated in upper arm as the one in front. Good bone and moves well.

GILTEDGE TENNYSON        Seems very young! Lovely head. Well made all through. A little long in body and short on the leg at this stage.

MINOR PUPPY DOG

GOLDRIOR YOUR THE TOP           Lovely head and expression. Not over exaggerated in any way. Very good ribcage for age. Moves well.

AVONBREEZE SILVER DOLLAR          Nice boy with lots of deep gold coat. Needs to tighten in front and lost his topline on the move.

INNISCROFT KEEP THE FAITH          Another dog of quality. In between coats at the moment. Moves a little narrow behind and could be happier when moving.

PUPPY DOG

Just one in the class

PERRECCA  XCUSES XCUSES            . Masculine head, very well boned, a little short on the leg. Would like a better front construction. Well angulated behind.

JUNIOR DOG

Another small class. Only two in this class.

PERRECCA WITCHDOCTOR         Good head, a little straight in upper arm, strong back. Moves well but still loose in front.

FETCHNPOINT KNEE JERKER         Strong head, better made standing than the dog in front but rolls his back when moving. Needs  time.

INTERMEDIATE DOG

Big class, only three absentees. Liked the quality in this class looking at them standing.

ALNCLAIR GILLYS HERO        Pale dog. Not a very glamorous dog but very well balanced, one I just loved. I liked most things about him: lovely head, good ribcage, well made all through, enough coat for age. Moves very well except I felt his hind movement a little overexaggerated.  However, this couldn’t deny him his placing as he has so many positive virtues.

CH GOLDFLEECE KNOCK ON WOOD         Lovely colour, a little plain in head. Well constructed, just slightly falling over the croup. Moves very well.

YELLOWFETCH FENG SHUI            Very nice standing! Could do with a better head, gave a slightly “dish faced” appearance. Not so well angulated in front. Wished he had a better topline when moving.

AUSTRALIAN BRED DOG

CH GOLDTREVE CAMROSE KRAKA Very attractive dog with very good movement around the ring. A little plain in head for me and a little loose in front.  A dog with so many things to like about him. Couldn’t deny him his placing.

CH EURAIDD JUST A GIGOLO CDX A close decision. Would have preferred better pigment. He is a little straight in front construction. Very strong topline and a good mover.

DOBRO DIAMOND EDGE Strong upstanding, spectacular dog. Very impressive.   Well-constructed and harmonically angulated. One of the better ones moving towards me, which helped to earn him this placing.

OPEN DOG

Another big class with only two absentees.

CHALEUR CODE OF SILENCE  Sturdy, substantial very eye catching dog. Presented to perfection. So well balanced and beautiful standing. Going over him would prefer a better front assembly, which also, unfortunately, shows coming towards you. Moves around the ring with a lovely stride covering the ground well.

CH FANTANGO AFTER THE RAIN The over all impression was a high quality dog. A Would prefer a darker eye, better front movement as well as better movement from behind, but nevertheless a quality dog overall, well deserving his place.

CH TULZEAN AUTUMN TANGO  Beautiful head. Could have more angulation in front construction. Not so well balanced standing as those in front. Moves very well indeed.

VETERAN DOG

Just one veteran but a very nice one! Short coupled. Lovely head and expression. Well made. Just a little heavy over the shoulders.

BABY PUPPY BITCH

Big class. Only two absentees. A very high quality class of babies. Several close decisions.

GOLDEW RAZZAMATAZZ         Caught my eye immediately. Well made all through. Will get even better with more experience in the ring.

FETCHNPOINT A WORLD APART          Another very attractive baby. Quite different in type. Also well made and a good mover.

XANTHOS ARE YOU TALKING TO ME           Very sweet and attractive. Well made. Needs more confidence in the ring.

MINOR PUPPY BITCH

GOLDTREVE BELLA ROSE           Nice puppy. Nothing out of proportion. Short coupled. Very correct and well put together. Moves well.

KAPARLA LEGAL EAGLE          Fantastic standing. Thought she was the winner when I first laid eyes on her. Unfortunately she couldn’t hold her topline when moving. Just my type standing.

JAPORIK SAMURAI GIRL           Nice puppy. Could be better angulated both ends. Moved very well which I appreciate.

PUPPY BITCH

Another class with a favourite standing but didn’t fulfil my expectations on the move.

ZYNAGI BLONNDE AMBITION            Nice puppy. Good expression. Very harmonically angulated. A little short in croup. Moved very well.

PIARKI THE REGGAE RASCAL          Lovely head. Could have more angulation in front, well-angulated hindquarters. Strong back. Would prefer more drive when moving. Her front construction pulls her back.

FANTANGO LEGALLY BLONDE           Fantastic outline standing. So well angulated, a little long cast and looks short in leg. Unfortunately she didn’t like the situation. Needs more training.

JUNIOR BITCH

A class of high quality with many difficult decisions. Many of which could have change places on another day.

RALUN VERY STYLISH             She really lives up to her name. Beautiful outline. Enough angulation in front assembly, well angulated hindquarters. Moves with style, a stylish bitch.

DOBRO FIRE CRYSTAL              One I liked a lot. Very nice to go over. Very good front construction. Enough angulation behind. Moves very well. Would have liked her to be slightly more feminine.

SINDERBY GLITZ N GLAMMER          Another nice one. A little plain in head. Straighter in upper arm. A true mover in lovely coat and condition.

INTERMEDIATE BITCH

 Huge class with a variation in quality. I really liked my placings.

DEWMIST SILVERLING          Well sized bitch. Caught my eye immediately.  Just my type. Beautiful head. Well made throughout. Moves with style and drive. One with a bright future I’m sure.

DOBRO DIAMOND MAGIC          Another good sized bitch that I liked a lot. Also well made. Stylish both standing and on the move. Very loose in front which gave her second place this time.

GOLDEW KOKOMO               On the smaller side. Not so well angulated but in harmony. Very nice coat and condition. A true mover.

AUSTRALIAN BRED BITCH

Another good class with many quality bitches. I was pleased to end up picking my BOB from this class!

GILTEDGE ANGEL DUST         A lovely bitch! Highest of quality. Lovely head and expression. Nice long neck well set on shoulders, good topline and tail carriage. To fulfil the picture I would have liked a little more length of leg. She is a really true mover. I just loved her. She must have a bright future!

GOLDEW JUBILEE           Very nice little bitch in full bloom. Nice head and expression. Everything in proportion. Not over exaggerated in any way. A very good  mover.

CH FANTANGO CENTRE STAGE           Very stylish, well sized bitch. Well made going over her, very much my type. I was a little disappointed when I saw her moving. She looked immature when moving and she needs more time to grow into her very nice frame. Not in the best of coats.

OPEN BITCH

Yet another big class, although the quality was a little disappointing for an open class.   I was however pleased with my placegetters.

DOBRO DELILAH          Lovely outline. A very well made bitch and a good mover. Her expression unfortunately spoilt by staining due to runny eyes. This however did not affect her first place. Liked her very much.

GR CH ALUBYC GEORGIA.        Another one I liked. Nice head and expression. Lovely coat and condition. Lovely short hocks. Good mover. A little short in leg.

CH GILTEDGE TARA           Very nice standing. Liked going over her. Could be a little more feminine for my liking . Looser on the move than those in front.

VETERAN BITCH

CH GILTEDGE CHARLOTTE          Very nice veteran bitch. Caught my eye when stood up. Didn’t disappoint me going over her. She is well made and moved well. I would prefer better front movement.

GR CH ALNCLAIR MAGGIE MAY          Not as well angulated as my first but a nice bitch with a good free stride going around the ring.

CH MONTEGO MIRANDA CDX            Nice bitch but could do with more angulation both ends. Another good mover but didn’t have as good a topline as the second placed.
