10 Oct December Open Show 2017

Posted at 10:32h in 2017 Events, Events, News by

The REPORT on our annual ‘introduction to the Christmas season‘ Open Show at

The Old Mill Hall, School Lane, Grove, Wantage, Oxon OX12 7LB on Saturday December 2nd 2017

The show was sponsored by Happy Dog who kindly provided prizes for all class and main winners.

The main show judge was Mrs Chris John (Christakell) and during lunch time the Special Members Awards judge was Mrs Sam Avery.

The show seemed to go well without any problems, well once we sorted out the matting that refused to stick down, and there was nice pleasant relaxed ambience all day. The club shop and the raffle (for Rescue) both had good days.

Thank you to everyone who entered, or just attended, and supported their club show.

SPECIAL MEMBERS AWARDS

judged by Mrs Sam Avery

This is an extra competition held during the lunch break, whilst the main show judge is not present, in order to give exhibitors an extra chance to show their dogs and inexperienced,  aspiring judges the chance to judge a larger entry than they would get at local Open shows. The results of this do not affect the main show in any way as they are technically viewed as two separate events. You can come last in a class in the Special Members Award but still win your class and be Best In Show in the main show.

SPECIAL MEMBERS AWARDS –  Report From Judge SAM AVERY

Thank you to the Club for inviting me, and to Karen for stewarding during my first judging appointment.

All exhibits had lovely temperaments. Movement in general was a little disappointing with a lack of drive from behind which may have been due to the fact that in the confinement of a smaller ring and on mats these large dogs are not able to move to their full potential.

CLASS A – PUPPY (2,0)

Two promising puppies , 8 month old litter brother and sister.

1st Green’s Matthias Vom Durrbachler Wald at Waldershelf (Imp Nld)

Large male of good size and stature for his age. Lovely profile overall. Slightly plain head which is developing nicely, narrow blaze. Dark eyes. Good bone. Sturdy straight front legs with compact feet. Broad chest. Nicely rounded rump. Good angulation front and rear. Kept his topline on the move.

2nd Green’s Madell Vom Durrbachler Wald at Waldershelf (Imp Nld)

Smaller than her brother. A sturdy bitch with a feminine head and very sweet expression. Has a stronger stop than her brother at present. Rich tan with a medium blaze. Good bone for size. Good angulation and body shape, just a little bum high. Moved OK.

CLASS B – JUNIOR (4,0)

1st Bridge’s Kernow Troubadour

Impressive workmanlike male of 15 months, maturing nicely. Tall dog with good proportions. Well boned. Good head with dark eyes and good ear set producing a kind expression. Good front angulation. Strong solid body and level topline. Broad thighs, well bent stifles and strong short hocks. Moved well.

2nd King and Green’s Joseph Vom Durrbachler Wald at Arvella (Imp Nld)

Medium sized typey 15 month male. Good head with a narrow blaze. Good ear set. Medium length neck. Straight forelegs with compact feet. Good rear angulation and overall shape. Rather out of coat. Gave his handler a hard time but eventually settled and was OK on the move.

3rd Deradour’s Meadowpark’s All Eyes On Me

Above medium size 14 month male. Good stop and ear set. Classic markings with a wide blaze. Straight forelegs with compact round feet. Good topline. Would prefer more bend of stifle. Carries his tail a bit high on the move which is made more noticeable by lack of coat making it appear short. However, the tail is the correct length.

CLASS C – POST GRAD (5,0)

1st King and Bramble’s Shirdees Miss Congeniality JW

Big strong bitch of 18 months. Beautifully presented. Feminine head with sweet expression. Well boned. Broad chest and good depth of brisket. Good angulation front and back. Broad thighs and strong hocks. Played with her lead on the move but that didn’t throw her off balance.

2nd Green’s Bernerdalens Quest for Fame at Waldershelf (Imp Swe)

Sturdy 21 months bitch, smaller than 1st . Good head with dark eyes, although slightly round. Rich tan and medium blaze. Good cross on her broad chest. Good angulation front and rear. Nice rounded rump. Moved well.

3rd Flaxman’s Glanzberg See The Sun

Large 2 year old bitch. Nice head with flat skull and medium blaze. Slightly round eye and slightly lower ear set. Broad chest and good depth of brisket. Good angulation front and back. Slightly long in body but has a level topline. Moved OK.

CLASS D – OPEN (3,3)
