Championship Show - Saturday 15th July 2017

Judge Mrs Nikki Peterson (Troopersway)

Firstly I wish to convey my sincere thanks to the Officers and Committee of the Club on the kind invitation to judge what was a lovely entry of quality bitches alongside Miss Patricia Clayton (Barvae) judging dogs on the day.  Overall I found the bitches to be strong in the main with just a few observations regarding incorrect front movement.  Attention to nails would also be advantageous to further improve the presentation of feet for some exhibits.  Quality classes and in particular with the  youngsters with some promising hounds in future no doubt.  Many thanks to all fellow beaglers for bringing your hounds under me today and again thanks to the Club for an enjoyable day.

Bitches 

Minor Puppy Bitch 4 (0)

1st        Jones & Jepson’s Eardley Molly Coddled.  Ultra-smart black blanketed tri pup.  Appealing expression with dark eye, good stop, and excellent ear set into good length of neck.  Straight front into tight feet and with well laid shoulders through to level top line nicely held on the move with correct tail set, Excels in bone despite her young age.  Nice angulation used well to move away and back. Overall a nicely balanced pup with a bright future no doubt unfortunate to meet her kennel mate for BPB today.

2^nd        Findlay’s Rhiconich Natalie;  Broken tri pup of larger mould than 1. Feminine head with a pleasing dark eye.  Good length of neck into correct shoulders, straight front, correct tight feet.  Level top line held, moved well despite making it difficult for her handler to get the best out of her today but overall a lovely feminine hound. 

3^rd Philpott’s Charterwood  Shantelle

Puppy Bitch 6 (0)

1^st         Jones and Jepson’s Eardley Izzy Cumming. The one that well and truly caught my eye today.  Ultra-smart tri who had everything other than maturity as is expected of one of so young yet easily challenged others for her top awards today.  Beautiful head with a real melting expression, dark eye and excellent ear set.  Good length of neck from well laid back shoulders, round bone to tight and well-padded feet.  Good depth of chest, moderately coupled and a spot on top line to correct tail set. Front and rear construction excels providing the ability to move with reach and drive  aided by her excellent turn of stifle. Still raw as one would wish for her age but caught my eye as soon as she entered the ring and did not disappoint. Easily BPB, RBCC and BPIS.

2^nd        Craig’s Davricard Honeybee.  Another promising puppy of larger mould to one but with good quality throughout.  Very feminine head, correct ear set with long leathers, good length of neck into a well laid shoulder.  Moved freely using strong fore and rear, longer coupled than one but overall a well-balanced puppy who was true moving without exaggeration.

Good lay of shoulder into level top line held at all times.  Correct tail set and stern carried correctly.  Straight front with ample bone into tight feet.  Used her rear well to drive and moved well overall.  Well-handled and presented and worthy of winning a strong class of promising youngsters.

2^nd        Jones & Jepsson’s Eardley Tish Hughes.  Another well-presented and elegant T/W bitch litter sister to BPIS.  Slightly larger mould than her little mate but with the same quality good bone, conformation and movement overall.  Pretty head with excellent ear set, length of leathers.
