Judges Critique

Thank you for such a splendid entry of 94 dogs at this enjoyable and friendly show. It was very instructive, if also challenging to get such an intensive experience of the breed. Compromise was the watchword of the day, especially in males and I found it easier to produce a more even final line-up in bitches. Nevertheless, in each sex, I had a number of issues with movement, both front and rear, with mouths and with eyes. “Large and round” should not translate in to protuberant. That said, there was a goodly number of typical Cavaliers.
DOGS
VETERAN (4) 1. Kilcoyne’s GRANASIL DR PEPPER. 8 year old ruby gent in good nick and not looking his age at all. Has a quality, balanced head, although his muzzle is a mite short and has some wrinkle but this does not detract from his kind expression. His overall construction is good and he moved steadily and happily. 2. Walker,s KOROLEVSKY IOSIF SH.CM. More immediately eye-catching 7 year old Blenheim who presented a balanced outline with some neck, a level back and firm loin. In good coat and showing well. 3. Hall’s CLOCKPELTER THE VICEROY.
MINOR PUPPY (4) 1. Gilbert’s BELLFLOWS THE GENTLEMAN. 8 months blen boy out of a fairly substantial mould. He has a decent front, reasonable lay of shoulder, tight elbows, some depth of chest and a level topline. Although yet to finish, his head is typical, with large eyes giving a soft outlook. On the move, he did not show much drive behind but has yet to settle fully to the job and has lots of time. 2. Wileman/Bott’s ELLEMICH KONSTANTINO OF NARVIDAR. Slightly longer cast blen with a balanced head, typical expression and long, well-set ears. At only 7 months, he has still to tighten up all round but his basic construction is sound and time is on his side. 3. Hannam’s KINVAAR BARETTA (NAF).
PUPPY (4) 1. Moffat’s MAIBEE A SYMPHONY. A high quality blen pup with a lovely head showing good skull to muzzle proportions and with gorgeous eyes. Overall, he was neat and in proportion with a clean front, level back, firm quarters and correct feet. Although his tail flows gently from his back-line, it looked as if it might fly up when he set off round the ring but it was fine. Did not always sparkle but he was steady and collected on the move and in fit condition. A good ‘un! BPD 2. Talley’s CHANTISMERE CASTA ROYAL (IKC). Another nice quality pup, a little longer cast but fundamentally well-constructed and moving steadily. He, too, possess an attractive head with gentle expression and good eyes. Should mature well. 3. McInally.s DALVRECK VIKTOR ROLF.
JUNIOR (4) 1. Dawber/Price’s ALMONROYD ACCLAIM. Good quality tri dog. Presents an overall typical picture and although still immature, he impressed with his general balance. Has a lovely head, dark eyes and mellow expression. The front assembly is good, shoulder-lay reasonable, the ribs well-sprung, the back level and his hind angulation is very good. In fine coat of correct texture and moving firmly. RBD. 2 Renaud’s ELLENAUD FREDDIE MERCURY. A bit of a handful but he settled sufficiently to let me see his reasonable action. Stronger in head than 1 but still typical and with a mild expression. Built on correct lines, so just needs to concentrate to continue to attract admiration. 3. Underwood’s NEDDAOW RATATOUILLE.
MAIDEN (2,1) 1. Price’s ALMONROYD OVATION. Tri litter brother to the Junior dog but a little stronger all through. Still very typical and honest with a decent head, dark, round eyes and good ears. He has good hind angulation and moved firmly and cleanly.
NOVICE (2,1) 1. Price’s ALMONROYD ACCOLADE. A third brother! Has a lovely head with super eyes and ears and a kind outlook. His construction is basically correct with a good front assembly, level back and firm loin. Moved well. Just needs to gain in confidence.
GRADUATE (8,2) 1.Kynaston’s NARAYDEN FANKEL. Well-built b/t chap with a pleasing head and eye. He was attentive at all times, assured on the move and presented a typical outline. Contributing to that overall package were his front assembly, a decent width of chest, a level back and reasonable bend of stifle. A little more tail feathering would gild the lily. 2. Beattie’s BRYMARDEN CAROLINA SUNSET FOR NORCREST. A strong-headed blen, slightly long-cast but basically well-constructed and still presenting a typical picture. His expression is gentle and soft, the head framed by long, well-set ears with good fringing. 3. Timber’s LESCARPRU THISBE CHERRY.
POST-GRADUATE (Blen/Tri) (8,2) 1. Moffat’s MAIBEE CLIFFORD. A lovely quality Blenheim dog. His head is beautiful with flattish skull, correct length and depth of muzzle and melting, dark eyes, the whole package supported by a decent, slightly arched neck, which many lacked. His construction is first-rate, ensuring a very typical outline and clean, collected action out and back. Perhaps not in full bloom and he does not always sparkle but I thought him good value for BD and later, when he put on more of a show, for the RBIS rosette as well. 2. Renaud’s TORYLAC DENTON. Good quality, balanced Blenheim with an attractive, well-proportioned head and lovely ears. Another who was basically well-constructed and therefore moved steadily. Gave it his best shot. 3. B. CAROLINA SUNSET FOR N.
POST-GRADUATE(Ruby/B/t )1. N.FANKEL. 2. Hamil’s CRAEBECK SCRUMPY JACK. Well-presented, typical ruby dog with a pleasing head and expression. The constructional essentials are all there and he was in good condition, moving steadily. 3. Bailey’s ALDORICKA KINGSLEY.
LIMIT (4) 1. Price’s ALMONROYD MINSTREL. A showy, outgoing blen with a well-balanced male head, dark eyes and kind expression. Put together correctly, he displays a straight front with tight elbows and clean shoulders, arched neck, level topline and short loin. He is well-angulated at the rear and moved firmly. 2. Whitfield’s BEVELMOUNT RED BEAUJOLAIS. Pleasing ruby with good head properties, although he could be a smidgin better filled under the eyes. The overall picture is balanced with a level back and firm quarters. Moved cleanly. 3. Nichol’s HOMERBRENT MERRY MAESTRO.
OPEN (7,2) A class of real compromises. 1. Hindle’s ELLISIANA ADONIS. An impressive, showy blenheim in grand coat. Not the smallest, he still presents a typical image of the breed with a lovely male head, all in proportion and with good, dark eyes. His moderate, arched neck gave him an elegant look, which combined with his good front construction, level back and well-angled quarters, guaranteed collected movement and an outline which he held standing and on the move. 2. Spark’s SHAVRO GRAND PARADE. Very typical, smaller blen who could appear a little stuffy in neck at times. Overall, however, he is a quality dog, his balance coming from a decent front assembly, wide chest, level topline, firm, short loin and well-angled quarters. Moved steadily. His head is pleasing, if a touch full in eye but still with a gentle expression. 3. Moffat’s MAIBEE McVITIE.
BITCHES
VETERAN (2) 1. Fox’s RICKSBURY SITTING PRETTY WITH LYNMILY SH.CM. She stood pretty too! A very sweet, feminine 8 year old blen bitch, very balanced and with a lovely head, all in proportion, with dark, liquid eyes and glorious ears. Has a firm little body, a level topline and good width of chest for her size. Moved cleanly and briskly to the BV spot. 2. Richardson’s KRINGLEHOLME APPLAUSE. Quite a similar bitch in type and many of the above remarks apply. Another sweet-headed lady with a soft outlook and well feathered ears. At 9, she is still in excellent nick but just toed in a little at the front now.
VINTAGE (4,1) 1.Renaud’s ELLENAUD BEATRIX POTTER. An 11 year old blen, still shapely and sporting many breed characteristics. Her topline has relaxed a fraction now but she is still balanced and with a decent outline. Has a very gentle expression and lovely ears. Still OK on the move. 2. Richardson’s KRINGLEHOLME CHEERY. A hard, fit 12 year old, still strutting her stuff! Not quite the head properties of 1, being a little short in muzzle but she retains a typical outlook with kind expression. Overall, she is built on sound lines and put on a good show. 3. Underwood’s CHARTERWOOD DELIGHTFUL FOR NEDDAOW.
MINOR PUPPY (4,1) 1. McInally’s BRAEMARRA FLOWERBOMB. Love the name! 7 months blen bitch, still raw, of course, but very assured. She has a real look of quality, with lovely dark eyes, a feminine, balanced head which has yet to finish and sufficient length of neck. Her shoulder-lay is good, the back level and the quarters well-angulated. Although still a baby, she moved firmly and soundly. Very promising. BPIS. 2. Fox’s LEWHARLE IZZADORABLE FOR LYNMILY. A longer cast Blenheim who also has time to come together and tighten on the move. Her head is pleasing, her construction is good and she should come on well. 3. Tarabad’s KHATIBI RED HOT JILLY PEPPER.
PUPPY (9,1) 1. McInally’s BRAEMARRA DEBUTANTE. Pretty, well-broken blen, complete with lozenge spot. Looks a tad long at this point but is really well-constructed, with a good front, level back, firm loin and well-turned stifles. Stands on correct feet and moves well, although is obviously still a little loose all round. Well-balanced head with good, dark eyes. One for the future. 2. Condrew-Bryson’s ANGELSPRIDE PRIM AND PROPER. Another blen, not so well-broken but a pretty bitch with a balanced head, super eyes and an overall typy look about her. She, too, needs to tighten up all round but is on the right road. 3. Callaghan/Todd’s TILLASHBY TRISTAR AT CALLYSPRIDE.
JUNIOR (9,1) A difficult class 1. Rogerson’s RABYMAR LOVE POTION. Typical b/t who initially struck me as being a fraction short on the leg and blunt in muzzle. She carries a good coat, however, and there is actually enough daylight under her, although she still has a wide, fairly deep chest. Her front is good, the back level and the quarters are strong. Has a kind expression, framed by lovely, long ears. Moved cleanly. 2. Turnbull’s PEAKDOWNS PANDORA. A typy blen bitch who persisted in standing over-stretched. She has pronounced hind angulation but moved soundly, so I suspect she is just keen on her handler, or her pocket! Good head and expression and overall she displayed a characteristic picture, full of breed type.3. Underwood’s NEDDAOW STARLIGHT TRUFFLE.
MAIDEN (5) 1. Inglis/Kirchbaum/Vorderstrasse’s BONITOS COMPANEROS MOULIN ROUGE AT CRAIGOWL (IMP). I was surprised to find a bitch of such high quality in this class but she has apparently only recently arrived on these shores. A quite lovely blen bitch with melting eyes, a balanced head, glorious ears and good mouth. Her classy outline is comprised of an arched neck, not too long and flowing in to well-laid shoulders, a decent chest with some spring of rib, a short-coupled loin and firm, well-angulated quarters. Moved steadily but needs to tighten fractionally at the elbows which she has masses of time to do. A very beautiful Cavalier bitch. In the challenge, she became unsettled by the changes in handler but was well in the running for the top spot. 2. R. LOVE POTION. 3 Bacon’s TIMBRIC ALSORTS.
NOVICE (%) 1. B COMPANEROS MOULIN ROUGE AT C. 2. R LOVE POTION 3. Cumberledge’s LESKARPRU LADY TIA.
GRADUATE (6,1) 1. Callaghan/Todd’s TILLASHBY NORTHERN STAR AT CALLYSPRIDE J.W. Pretty blen bitch with a most attractive head and eye giving a benevolent, soft expression. The whole picture is balanced and typical with a good outline, wide chest, level back, short loin and well-turned quarters. Moved soundly with her tail wagging happily. A pleasing, honest bitch. RBB. 2. Hurst/Wake’s LLUTSTANT MILKY WAY. A neat, balanced, well-broken blen bitch with an outgoing personality who showed herself off and moved soundly. Has a good head with a gentle expression and lovely ears. An appealing, unexaggerated exhibit. 3. Bailey’s ALDORICKA JULIETTA.
POST-GRADUATE (Blen/Tri) (6,1) 1. Lovel’s LOVERAC ENDEARMENT 2 1/2 year old attractive blen bitch. Her skull is a fraction domed but the head is still typical with a good expression and correct finish of muzzle. She is quite well-built but the outline is typical and she retains a level topline at all times. Moved reasonably using her quarters. 2. Scott’s TOSCAM MCKAYLA. A lovely headed tri in good coat. Not altogether collected on the move but is fundamentally correctly constructed. Possesses beautiful, well-set ears. 3. Owen’s PARKWALL LUNA MOON.
POAT-GRADUATE (Ruby/B/t) (2,1) 1. Reeson’s CHALMRAY EVA THE DIVA AT MYLRIVER. This b/t is not immediately eye-catching but she is nevertheless typical and has a decent construction. Her head is attractive, although a little more breadth of underjaw would improve but her expression is still sweet and feminine. Carries herself well and moves reasonably.
LIMIT (3,1) 1. Carr-Tomlinson’s LEDESHAM KATHERINE WHEEL. A pretty, balanced blen with a lovely head, eye and ears. Overall, she displays a moderate, unexaggerated outline with a width of chest, level back and firm hindquarters. Moved steadily. Typy bitch. 2.C. EVA THE DIVA AT M.
OPEN(6,2). 1. Inglis/ Kirschbaum/Vorderstrasse’s BONITOS COMPANEROS CRYSTAL AT CRAIGOWL (IMP). A quite lovely blen bitch. Her colour is reasonably well-broken and she gleams with condition. The head is exquisite with large, deep dark eyes, excellent skull to muzzle ratio and beautiful, luxuriant ears. Her body proportions are entirely harmonious and she holds her perfect outline both standing and moving. She is clean and firm in action and in a line-up of attractive bitches, she continually drew my eye. A smasher! BB and BIS. 2. Scott’s LORPHIL LALIBERTIE. Another blen with a typical outline, wide chest and clean shoulders. She did enough on the move where she had no major issues. Attractive head and expression but could arguably have a little more width of underjaw. A useful bitch who will rarely be overlooked. 3. Tarabad’s KHATIBI LEMON ADA J.W. SH.CM.
