RICHMOND CH SHOW 2013

Judge  HUGH JONES

A nice entry, as well as some top quality dogs to go over. Glad to see my BOB going G3 later on.

VD (2) 1 Ricaduffel Shooting Star, well made dog, good head pattern, nice dark eyes, well boned straight front, enough reach of neck, level topline, moved out well with handler; 2 Alchazandis Rupert Bear, not as well built as 1 but still retaining a pleasing expression, good pigmentation, enough reach of neck, topline not level but no longer a youngster. PD (1) 1 Amandjena Conway Orlando, dark eyes, good pigmentation, straight front, good depth of ribcage. Topline not level yet & rear angulation could be better. JD (3) 1 Pyrpressure’s My American Dream at Belshanmist, very appealing young man having good eye & ear placement, dark eyes, good pigmentation & well boned, straight front, level topline held on the move, had enough turn of stifle to ensure good rear drive. PGD (4) 1 Pyrbern Blond Lynx, well boned straight front, enough reach of neck, dark eyes & masculine expression, level topline, pleasing rear angulation, ensured correct movement. Lipline needs to tighten; 2 Pyrbern Blond Defender at Bursville, similar type to 1 having good pigmentation, dark eyes, enough reach of neck & well developed ribcage, moved out well with handler; 3 Kricarno Kookie. LD (8) 1 Charibere Simply Special at Chezanna, well made dog, really looked the part, having a good head & expression, correct length of neck, well boned, straight front & level topline held on the move, well presented & shown. RCC; 2 Sketrick Next Connextion, another pleasing male having good pigmentation, well boned front & pleasing head, enough rear angulation, moved out with drive; 3 Kricarno Khoirboy. OD (4) 1 Ch Gillandant Rockafella, my idea of a mature male Pyrenean, good height to length ratio, appealing head & expression, well boned straight front, level topline held on the move & had very good pigmentation. CC, BOB & G3; 2 Ch Kalkasi In High Spirits, another pleasing dog who had all the attributes I was seeking. Good dark eyes, well pigmented, well boned straight front, level topline held on the move, in complete harmony with handler; 3 Jazanah Jaunty.

VB (1) 1 Alchazandis Foxminty Bear at Pyrbern, feminine bitch who was now a little lethargic. Pleasing expression, enough reach of neck, well ribbed back. Topline no longer level but did more than enough to warrant her placing. PB (1) 1 Granchester Sparkling Gem, pleasing head & expression, enough reach of neck. Obviously needs a lot more time to develop. Moved out well in unison with her handler. JB (2) 1 G Sparkling Gem. PGB (2) 1 Kricarno Kornish Krystal, feminine expression, straight front, enough rear angulation, moved out reasonably; 2 Merzurlaska Zianon Lace, good pigmentation, straight front, good depth to ribcage, well developed rearquarters. LB (2) 1 Shanlimore Phoebe at Bursville, very appealing lady having a nice feminine expression, good pigmentation, nice dark eyes, enough reach of neck, level topline held on the move, well presented & shown. RCC; 2 Gillandant Leyla via Shanlimore, another pleasing bitch, was a little finer all over than 1. Good pigmentation, straight front & level topline, well developed ribcage & moved out reasonably. OB (5) 1 Ch Gillandant Sugar And Spice, very appealing lady having good head & expression, nice pigmentation, well boned straight front, nice height to length ratio & level topline held on the move, well presented & shown, did enough for me to award her CC; 2 Ch Zalute Zeona via Shanlimore, another pleasing bitch, good head pattern, feminine expression, good pigmentation, straight front, enough neck, moved out well; 3 Kalkasi Misty Star of Ricaduffal.
