MINOR PUPPY DOG (2, 0 abs)

1st  ESTELLASTAFF DARK PROFILE     Chunky brindle puppy with ample bone and substance. He has a smashing front but his feet need to sort themselves out. Very much a baby and will come together more in time.  

 2nd FABREHN PRIDE & GLORY     Black brindle dog who had a much cleaner skull than the winner but was nowhere near as developed in the body. He was hard to assess on the move but I’m sure he will get the hang of it soon.

 

PUPPY DOG (5, 0 abs)

1st  BLAZINSTAFF LIGHT MY FIRE    BEST PUPPY DOG AND BEST OPPOSITE SEX IN SHOW.   Smashing upstanding red/fawn and white with a super front and rear angulation to match. He moves as his construction would suggest and has a decent head and expression to boot. He will need to harden up a bit when he moves up the classes to compete with some of the juniors on the circuit.

2nd  ZAKSTAFF TOBY TOBIAS  Black Brindle with ample bone but immature in the body department compared to the winner. This isn’t a worry as such as he has the world to come on. He is longer cast but has good rib developing.

JUNIOR DOG (5, 0 abs)

1st  RAMBLESTAFF EBENEZER GOOD JW    BEST DOG AND BEST IN SHOW. Standard Black brindle with no exaggerations and housing a smashing headshape with enough depth and broadness of muzzle. His rose ears and dark eye enhance a super expression. Good front and shoulders matched by his equally good quarters. The in-between bits were good too – rib, tuck up and length of coupling and back. He moved fluently and effortlessly and all in all is a top class animal. Good luck with him, wished he was mine!

2nd  JAVAWOLF MIGHTY MOUSE  Very fit and well balanced predominately white dog. He has a very pleasing headshape with lovely dark eyes and tight well fitting lips around an ample strength foreface. Half prick ears for me do detract a bit but they are acceptable in the standard. He moved well both coming and going but for me, I would like a bit more covering on him. All round nice animal.

POST GRADUATE DOG (8, 1 abs)

1st HEROIC LAD  Quite nicely balanced brindle with a good headshape with no coarseness or fleshiness. He does appear to be lacking in coat around the eyes which is off-putting. He has good body properties with a nice weight of bone about him. He beat the second on better movement and balance.

2nd VEKLORRA BARNEY REBEL AT POWERPACK  Longer cast black brindle who just wasn’t as “together” in the body as the winner. Decent enough head shape about him and again without coarseness. He was a bit of handful on the move but I saw enough of him to warrant his place.

OPEN DOG (8, 2 abs)

1st ROTHERSTAFF SARACEN  RESERVE BEST DOG Very typy brindle dog with super head properties. He is clean and has enough width and depth in both the skull and muzzle. His front and rear angulation appear balanced but he moves much better coming than going. He is an honest dog with ample virtue.

  2nd ASHSTOCK RED MILLER  JW  Red dog who I have judged before and he has certainly got a lot more about him than last time. Ample bone and substance and perhaps he is verging on being a bit cloddy if his weight isn’t watched. First rate head properties with a keen expression and well pronounced cheek bumps.

Upstanding red dog with a smashing headshape, broad and deep throughout without any fleshiness or coarseness. His good construction came into its own when he moved effortlessly both ways.

MINOR PUPPY BITCH ( 6, 2 abs)

1st CURCUS SUMMER STORM  Both the winner and second have similar virtues.  Today this black brindle baby won with a shorter back and coupling. Lovely headshape and her body is developing along all the right lines. Moved like a puppy does but she will come together with age.

2nd BEKANBAR SHINING STAR  Another nice black brindle who like first has lots to like about her. Again, lovely head properties, decent body but longer cast than the winner. She is another with time on her side.

PUPPY BITCH (10, 3abs)

1st  ZAKSTAFF MISS O'REILLY AT SOUTH STAR  BEST PUPPY IN SHOW  What a little corker and she won this class by a country mile! Smashing headed black brindle with the keenest of expressions enhanced by her dark eyes and perfectly placed rose ears. Good front on well padded feet. Her bodyshape is coming along nicely and will only get better when she tightens and fittens with age. Good rear quarters and moved as such. She just now needs to perfect the game and I’m sure she will have a super future.

2nd  BOLDSTOCK ROSIE RUCKER  Pleasing headed black brindle with not the balance of the winner. She has ample bone and substance but is very much a puppy in development. Time is on her side.

JUNIOR BITCH (10, 0 abs)

1st RAMBLESTAFF JORJA ON MY MIND  Very typy black brindle with a smashing head, strong but feminine. Good front supported on good pasterns and feet. Nicely bodied, although carrying a bit of weight. Good bend of stifle and she moved really well both ways. She isn’t firm at all to the touch and once she fittens up it will make a massive difference I feel. Lovely all round bitch.

2nd  AYMSTAFF MAGIC FLAME  Substantial red bitch who is well off for bone and substance. She is verging on perhaps a bit too much. Decent enough head shape and well bodied all round. Didn’t move as well as the winner hence her place.

1st  ASHSTOCK CONSTELLATION  Standard red bitch with a very pleasing shape to her head although she is a bit wrinkly. Good front and rear quarters although she is a bit longer cast. Good rib and a generally nice shape about her. Moved well enough both ways to secure her place.

2nd RAMBLESTAFF MISS DEMEANOUR   Although this black brindle had a stronger and cleaner head it just wasn’t quite the shape of the winner. Straight front but her shoulders appear overloaded. She has a shapely body and is both short in the back and coupling. She moved ok but not as good as the winner

OPEN BITCH (8, 1 abs)

1st  CRAGAILS INDIAN SUMMER  BEST BITCH, RESERVE BEST IN SHOW & BEST OPPOSITE SEX  Beautiful black brindle bitch! She has a strong but feminine head with width, depth and showing no coarseness. Super fronted on good feet and pasterns. Loved the body properties, good rib, depth of brisket and shortness of both the coupling and back. She does need a bit more angulation to the stifles and width to the hams in general but this is never going to override her qualities, this is why she was beaten by the dog for BIS. One major fault – she isn’t on my couch!

2nd FIRE CRACKER AT ESTELLASTAFF   RESERVE BEST BITCH  Red bitch with not quite the class of the winner but is a very good all round honest bitch. She too has a smashing head but perhaps slightly underdone. Upstanding on her front with good shoulder placement. Her body shape is good but it is lacking a bit of tone at present. Her overall virtue is balance and her movement was very good both coming and going, this secured her RBB above a super puppy.
