Judges Summary
My thanks to the Committee for the invitation to judge and for giving me such a warm welcome. Thank you also to my Stewards for their hard work and to the Exhibitors for their excellent entries. On the day, I thought that the bitches outshone the dogs in quality and movement.

Judges Critique
Minor Puppy Dog (3)
- Henman & Peterson's Foxifayre Doctor Zhivago. Just a baby of 6 months but shows good promise. Good outline with pleasing head and firm body. Movement a bit erratic, which is to be expected at this age.
- Wells’ Allforus Hubba Bubba of Belanisma. At a different stage of maturity this one. Masculine for his age, a bit reluctant to use his ears but presented well.
- King’s Eastkees Secrets And Lies.
Puppy Dog (4, 1 Absent)
- Wilkin’s Whizzkees Onyx Shadow. Compact and well balanced puppy, well boned for his age, pleasing head and expression, nice coat rich in colour, full of confidence; showed and moved well. Very promising. Best Puppy in Show
- Silvester’s Whizzkees Onyx Silver. Litter brother to above, not so advanced but shows promise. Trying hard, well presented.
- Wilkin’s Whizzkees Onyx Sampson.
Junior Dog (2)
- Luckhurst’s Gavimir Checkmate. Masculine dog, with coat of nice colour and texture. A good overall balance. Lovely head; showed and moved well.
- Wilkin’s Pommary Quick Silver at Whizzkees. A nice head, with well defined spectacles. Compact body with high set tail, coat of good texture. On the day his rear movement was disappointing.
Maiden Dog (1)
- Silvester’s’ Whizzkees Onyx Silver.
Novice Dog (2, 1 Absent)
- Henman & Peterson’s Foxifayre Doctor Zhivago.
Undergraduate Dog (No entries)
Post Graduate Dog (4, 1 Absent)
- Elliott’s Neradmik Boss at Fletilla. Good body, carrying lovely coat. Head with dark eye and appealing expression. Good rear movement, front a little erratic.
- Luckhurst’s Gavimir Demon King. Masculine head, with neat ears and well marked spectacles. Well off for bone and coat. Preferred overall balance of above. Shown and presented well.
- Hill’s Plymkees First Edition.
Limit Dog (7)
- Dean’s Allforus Frosting over Lekkerbek. Have always liked this one. Compact, with lovely outline and balance. Nice head, with dark eyes and neat ears. Good colour, moved well.
- Brunt’s Zandvoort Dream Machine. Another nice one, close decision with 1st. Pleasing body and head. Harsh coat. Moved and showed well.
- Peck’s Pommary Murray’s Rove ay Byquy,
- Pattison’s Eastkees Licence To Love.
- Hill’s Plymkees Star Class.
Open Dog (7, 2 Absent)
- Day’s Ch. Allforus Dice Master for Spitzcav. In full bloom and condition. Masculine head with well marked spectacles. Good body and bone. Profuse coat of rich colour. Tail well set and carried. Showed and moved well. CC & Reserve Best in Show
- Bennett & Savage’s Ch. Thorsdale Trade Mark. Have liked this dog from day one. He’s lovely to go over, well balanced and masculine. Has a good head and bone. Coat of excellent colour but his mind was elsewhere today. He lacked his usual sparkle. Reserve CC
- Blomfield’s Valindale Whatever,
- Diver’s Ch. & Ir. Ch. Allforus Roll Of The Dice at Murmansk,
- Rose’s Rossvale Sacred Spirit to Esorkees.

Both dogs are a credit to their owners and are obviously loved and well cared for. Clearly enjoyed their day out.
Breeders Dog (3, 1 Absent)
- Pattison’s Ch. Eastkees One More Chance. Good size, with nice body, coat and head with well defined spectacles. Moved and showed well.
- Hickson’s Ch. Kichigai Great Pretender. Worthy CH with plenty of substance and bone. Well balanced body, carrying a good coat. Nice feet. Seemed lethargic today, have seen him move better.
Minor Puppy Bitch (3, 1 Absent)
- Passmore’s Torrikees Definitely Maybe. Sweet bitch; a little unsure of herself. Nothing to dislike but needs time. Moved OK and tried hard to please.
- Henman’s, Peterson & Bell’s Foxifayre Pretty Woman. Foxifayre Pretty Woman. Appealing type but refused to be serious. Difficult to assess as she refused to stand still long enough.
Puppy Bitch (4, 2 Absent)
- Lindsay’s Enreveyar Mystic Star by Mezanda. Pretty bitch with good body and high set tail. Nice dark eye. Good colour. Showed well.
