It was a pleasure to judge this show and I thank the committee for inviting me. I was very pleased with the quality of the entry and with my final line-up.
Veteran
Dog 3(1abs)
1st Grant’s Gransil Black Jack - Lovely B/T dog, 10 years old, moved with
purpose showing all the time, good top-line, warm dark eyes and good rich tan
markings defying his age. Well proportioned masculine head. Lovely overall size
and shape.
2nd Owen’s Parkwall Lewis - Blenheim 10.5 years old. Well proportioned
dog, but did not have the movement of 1. Well presented in good condition.
Minor
Puppy Dog 5
1st Leach’s Ouzelwell Lord Chamberlain - Very nice blenheim puppy, well
bodied, moved well. Held a level top-line moving and standing. Lovely dark eyes,
super pigment, balanced nicely proportioned head right for age, with good expression.
Rich tan on white background with correct textured silky coat. Lovely shape
in outline.
2nd Price’s Ouzelwell Viceroy - Litter brother to 1. A little smaller
and of different proportions to his brother. Super pigment on nose and eye rims.
Well constructed dog just lost out a little on overall balance.
3rd Gillhespy’s Lorphil Lost Love
Puppy
Dog 4 (2abs)
1st Richardson’s Kringleholme Ovation - An 11 month old blenheim of good
construction, nice tail-set, in lovely coat, well schooled and presented. Well
bodied with time to mature on. Super pigment, lovely gentle expression . Moved
well holding a level topline on the move and standing. BPD
2nd Bloice’s Scotlass The Love Bug A blenheim boy who was not on his best
behaviour making it difficult to assess him. A very well developed head with
good pigment to nose and eyes. Not the gentle expression of 1. Needs to move
on a loose lead, pulling against the lead spoilt his topline.
Junior
Dog 2
1st Waddington’s Spindlepoint John Peel. This was a tough class but this
boy won on his compact shape. Well made boy, of good coat colour. Lovely reach
of neck giving him that little bit of extra elegance. Moved true, with drive
and holding a level topline. Has a little more substance than 2. Good pigment,
lovely dark eyes giving that soft melting expression. One I will watch with
interest.
2nd Sheard’s Almondine Goodwill. - Most of what is said about 1 is true
of this lovely blenheim boy. He needs a little more time to fill out, and is
slightly longer cast. He has a lovely head and good construction. It really
was a difficult choice.
Maiden
Dog. 2
1st Bloice’s Scotlass the Love Bug As for earlier class. Had not settled
in this class and won on his more compact shape and make.
2nd Lister’s Cachevell Dance in my Shadow. - A lovely blenheim with good
shape and lovely neck. Could use a little more body. Head is pleasing and with
good expression.
Novice
Dog 3
1st Townsend’s Broganzor Santorini - Lovely, lively blenheim dog. Strong
head, well proportioned and with good pigment to nose and eyes. Liked his expression.
Another that may benefit from moving on a loose lead, assessing movement was
difficult but moved well. Well constructed with good front and rear angulation,
good shoulders, not too long in the loin, lovely length to neck. Very pleasing
outline.
2nd Smith’s Beaudale Carnelian - Ruby of lovely shape and size. Well constructed.
Pleasing expression, good size of eye and well cushioned under the eyes. Moved
true but not with the drive of 1.
3rd Hannam’s Cachevell Rock On Tommy
Graduate
Dog 4 (2abs)
1st Leach’s Clopsville Sazerac at Ouzlewell - Black and tan boy with good
colour of tan in all the right places and ebony black coat in good condition.
Less coated than 2nd placed dog, but just preferred overall make and shape .
Well balanced, short coupled dog. Pleasing head, good reach of neck and level
topline. Held topline on the move and moved out well.
2nd Owen’s Parkwall Black Jack - Another black and tan of different type
to 1. Longer cast and little more up on the leg. Head pleasing but with a little
more muzzle, good dark eyes. In good coat. Not quite the overall balance and
compact shape of 1.
Special

1st Baker’s Nevhills Navarro - Super tri, well marked and full of type.
Perfect size, lovely head, dark eyes giving the desired soft expression, well

blenheim dog with a super neck, lovely crest that gives added elegance to the

to tail. Head is gentle yet masculine, length of muzzle within standard, eyes
are well pigmented, large and dark, giving that melting expression. Pigment
is good. Presentation was first class winning him BIS.
2nd Bakers Nevhill’s Roosevelt - What a lovely class this was, two super

1st Waddington’s Spindlepoint Grace Darling - Nice sized blenheim, lovely
cobby body, well sprung ribs. Good coat of silky texture. Lovely rich tan and
clean white makings, good wide white collar showing off her neck. Sweet, very
feminine expression coming from her well shaped head, with dark lustrous eyes,
good pigment and well placed ears which she used to great effect. Correct outgoing
temperament and very attentive to her owner. Moved well but is inclined to pull
a little on the lead, giving handler a hard time.
2nd Hindle’s Ellisiana Song Lark - A close decision between this lovely
blenheim girl and 1. This girl is also very well made and much of what is said
about 1 can apply to this girl. The deciding factor was on personal preference
for the shape of 1 over 2.

to move close in to handler at the front, bringing rear out, losing the parallel
movement.
