May I offer my heartfelt thanks
to the committee members for their warm welcome and comfort during a most
successful show. I wish to point out a particularly thank you to that
perfect gentleman Mr. Neil Brooks who orchestrated the whole business with
great kindness and consideration for my welfare on the day. Many thanks to
Anne for her great effort of stewarding and assistance inside the ring and
my final thanks to all exhibitors for their entries, many who had travelled
far and wide incurring expensive travelling cost of which is bedevilling the
show scene at these present times. |

I also had the great pleasure meeting old friends from my
past visits to Australia, Mrs Mavis Prior (Crossguns) John and Viv Ross
(Swanky) Dorothy Wood (Jehard) Mr and Mrs Dawes (Bajed) Sandy Consadine
(Mosstrooper) and the Morse brothers from New Zealand.
With regard to my findings I was impressed by the
standard of specimens presented and by the good variety of colours on
view. I felt movement the biggest cause for concern, by exhibits
carrying too much angulation at the rear quarters. A few with steep
upper arms. Mouths I thought were not too much concern to which I
thought might have been a problem, Yes! there were a few converging
canines, others with border line cases of which I felt, if, by applying
a pedantic inclination may lead to the old maxim of ‘throwing the baby
out with bath water’. A further concern was the regard to fitness in a
number of animals. A little more attention to this problem can be over
come with little more effort. |

I am not inclined to mentioning movement
in these minor or baby classes, even a seemingly well proportioned
pup may not be able to function well at this age. |
|
1 McCoy. Joden Weekend Hustler
- Just what I would be looking
for in a young dog puppy. Black Brindle of good type. Well boned,
promising head shape, round dark eye and pigmentation. Well boned. |
|
2 Osborne.
Pepstaff Latest News - Memories of this affix send shivers down
my back. Happy find they are still producing good stuff. Black
Brindle. Very much the same type as 1 but I preferred more lift as
on the legs on the winner. Very nice puppy with excellent head shape
and ears. Nice top line and quarters |
|
3 Austin–Cleary.
Tykabul The Teflon Don - Black Brindle. Again a puppy of good
promise. Good head shape with correct length of scull to mussel
ratio. Strongly boned, level top line. Should be great competition
from these three in the future. |

2
Difford/Lane. Lanvilla Jack Aspades - Strikingly outstanding
pup. Strongly boned. Level top line. Nice shaped head with dark

ear carriage. Clean out line. Handler needs to turn his feet a
little more inwards to enhance the frontal picture. |

Joden Bold Ruler - B/brindle, well rounded bone with clean
shoulder placement. Feet need to be turned in a little for
better presentation. Level top line, with spring of rib. Hocks

CH HELLFYRE GLACIAL
STORM |

|
1 Steele. Ch Hellfyre
Glacial Storm - Star of the show. Predominantly white with
complimentary dark pigmentation. Strong fronted dog with excellent
head properties to match. Thin ears ideally placed, deep through
scull with enough length of muzzle. Good clean bite, with tight
lips. Level top line with good turn of stifle allowing him the
freedom of correct movement which at the conclusion earned him the
top spot of the show. |

2
Saunders/Stevens. Ch Pennyflower Nedovthnight - Another good dog
which almost ticked all the right boxes. B/b, clean front with clean
neck line running into well laid shoulder placement and top line

movement. Res CC |

3 Shimwell
Lokstokonstaf Iron Star - Well muscled B,brindle. Put down in
superb condition. Strong headed, a little light in the eyes, of

exaggeration. Clean front, would like a little more head
expression. Neat ear carriage, clean mouth, tight lips, Well
sprung rib cage with good tuck up. |
|
2
Gardner/Martin Ch Staffstruck Highvelocity - B/Brindle with
white chest. His appealing head shape would be more advanced
with a rounder eye placement. However a smart looking specimen
with good ear carriage, close coated, wide front, well sprung
ribs, good quarters with enough drive in the rear found him good
enough to take second place. |

3 Byrne. Ch
Caiford Tell No Lies - Brindle and white. Keen expression,
well balanced with good legs and feet. Correct shoulder
placement with level top line, moved with purpose and drive |

Oldenburg. Staffyhaus Love N Mercy - Appealing baby.
B/brindle with all the ready made requirements to
develop into a winner for the future. |
|
2 Jurkow. Shindarrah
Angel of Fire - Wonderful representation of
brindle and white, (I love this colour), needs a
little time to catch up to winner. |
|
3 Osborne. Pepstaff Lets Get Loud - Attractive
brindle, little less compact as previous two. Crying
out for more time to improve the necessary points
required. Given time I am sure she will become a

tuned stifles with hocks let down as required. Move well. |

Highbourne Knock On Wood - A further good looking prospect.
B/brindle with strongly proportioned front assembly. Keen
expression for one so young. A further contender for top
honours. |
|
3
Lane. Lanvilla Butterfly Kisses - found three promising
m/puppy’s to make my day. The latter two were of almost equal
quality. B/Kisses, B/brindle head with good definition with
deep stop and dark eyes. Up on the leg a little more than other
two which cannot be such a bad thing at this stage of
development. |

1 Ross. Swanky Quite Qualified -
She’s qualified right enough! Outstanding White with dark
pigmentation. Beautiful head with wafer thin ear shape to match.
Body properties to make one’s eyes water. Clean cut neck line.
Shoulders placed at the correct angle, straight top line well tucked
up loins and correct tail carriage. Moved with drive and purpose
both ways. This must be the best ‘Swanky’ to date. |
|
2 Osborne.
Pepstaff Keep The Faith - B/brindle, nice
head, ears a little flighty, round eye, enough length of mussel in
rate with scull. Sound body and quarters. Attention to her feet
which need to turn in more will enhance front view. |
|
3
Brown/Ryan. Anglice Purely Magic - White
with red patches. Seems to need more time to develop Good legs and
feet. The spring of rib is there, just needs time. |

whilst on the move. |

- Slightly heaver built B/brindle. Good head with
strong mussel and round eye placement. Legs have well rounded
bone with enough lay back of the pasterns. As one would expect,
moved with efficient drive and and agility. |
|
3 Shimwell. Quarrybank Roxovart
- This is not an isolated case, I kept asking exhibitors
to stand their charges away from facing the fearsome sun making
it difficult to assess eye placement and colour and a great
irritant to the dogs. However, Quarrybank Roxovart. B/brindle,
I felt she had all the essentials with regard to the head. Well
place ear carriage. Nicely bodied up, top line needs a little
improvement, other than that she has many qualities. Move well |

JAMELKUR MISS MOMO |

Jamelkur Miss Momo - B/brindle with deep through scull, Round
eye tight lips ears could be a little neater. Although her
shoulders seem a little steep it didn’t affect her movement.
Well boned, tight feet. Tail carriage not her fortune. |
|
2 Lane. Ch
Lanvilla Nauti Blaknikas - B/brindle with outstanding
profile. Classic head and body shape, level top line and good
tail carriage. Perhaps would prefer to see a little more turn of
stifle. |
|
3 Wood.
Jehard Larceny Lu - Brindle. Over sized ears tended to spoil
the head experience like a little more strength of mussel. Well
sprung ribs and close couplings. Moved O.K. |

Highbourne Nine Carat - I seemed to have hit a rich seam of
champions in this class. Class looking specimen like her
kennel mate. Not quite as strong in the head of which I
prefer. Strong clean front, shoulder placement of the best
one could wish for. Level top line with good tale carriage.
Moved close behind.

Pleydell/Fry/Grundy Ch Reewen Black Pearl - Lighter
boned B/brindle. Keen expression, would like a little more
strength in under jaw. Clean front and tight pasterns. Level
top line. Movement again could be better – a curse which
seemed to bedevil this class. |

Hesleden. Ch Dreamcatcher Smoko Girl - B/brindle.
Nice height, strong front, well placed shoulders, level top
