Judge: Mrs. Jenny Nolan (Jernito)

Huge thank you to Northern Cavalier club for the invite to judge the SAC classes giving me an opportunity to get my hands on some quality Cavaliers. Being a latecomer to this wonderful hobby, it is a well-known challenge, getting the experience in numbers nowadays to support knowledge and experience for new judges. I was so grateful for the support of the Northern breeders and exhibitors, thankyou for bringing your beautiful cavaliers for my opinion at such a formative time in my judging career.

Puppy (7/10)
1st Spall’s Llapstram Sires Prize – This quality puppy stood out in this class. Flat skull and correct ear set lovely dark eyes, head developing, nice outline, well bodied and raven black glossy coat developing well for his age. Confident on the move, schooled well.
2nd Knight’s Carolus Miss Chloe – Blenheim bitch in lovely coat with the desired Blenheim spot, nice compact body with good spring of rib and lovely width of thigh. Would like a little more neck.

Graduate 5/8
1st Leach’s Mitapip Mystical Spirit – absolutely loved this bitch, full of quality. A very pretty head, with beautiful eyes, correct ear set and symmetrical marking and a real balanced outline. She is well bodied and feminine with lovely well broken quality coat that was beautifully turned out. A happy showgirl.
2nd Leach’s Ozelwell Symphony – Underneath the very fluffy coat is a very well-made dog, lovely gentle expression and dark pigment, a lovely neck, so positive on the move with wonderful carriage, he has a lovely outline.

Open 5/11
1st Leach’s Melrose Dalton (IMP GER) – An outstanding Blenheim boy of 5 years right out of the top draw, what a lovely head shape, large round dark lustrous eyes and coal black pigment. His coat was not at its best today, which is well broken. He has short coupled well ribbed body, with lovely width of thigh, moves well with good rear action and tail carriage. I would be very proud indeed to have such a lovely cavalier and a great producer too, as my first and second places in graduate were his children.
2nd Knight’s Buttercup V’T Burgstse Hof at Carolus – A beautiful Blenheim bitch, so feminine, gentle expressive dark eyes symmetrical head markings and an ever-wagging tail. Coat a little out of sorts today but since her daughter was 2nd in the puppy class I can understand why. Nice outline and good ribs on her short, coupled body, she glided elegantly around the ring with a true gait, very happy show girl.
