Bitches

 

Many thanks to the officers and committee of the NCWC for offering me my first CC appointment. A last minute hiccup with the original venue meant finding one at short notice and what a fantastic find it was. Super big rings and loads of room.

Northern Counties Whippet Club Championship Show 14/4/2019

Dog Critique

 

I would like to thank the Committee of NCWC for such a well run and highly enjoyable show. A superb new venue, providing dogs, handlers and judges with all that we collectively needed. When I looked at my final line up of unbeaten dogs, I was delighted to see a range of winners that excelled in breed type and quality, from the youngest to the oldest dog.

My final four dogs selected in the challenge, in my opinion I believe, are some of the best that we have in the rings today. Each and everyone I could have happily awarded a CC to.

At this moment in time, we are blessed with some great males. The dogs who for so long have been in the shadow of the amazing quality of bitches that we have in the breed, are now metaphorically fighting back and judges have a real pleasure in sorting through seriously good males. We have excellent youngsters coming through the ranks and judging from some of the quality pups we have, the future looks very bright.

For those looking for a good sire, a quality and varied choice will be available. My DCC winner was at his very best today, ticking all the boxes that I was looking for in a male and hence he was my choice for the ticket. I was thrilled to see him go on to BIS. My Reserve CC Winner, I cannot honestly remember seeing him before and what a beautiful, fully mature specimen he is too, going onto RBIS. The BPIB looks as if he too will have a bright future assured. A great day and one that I will remember for many years to come.

 

DOGS

MPD 6(1)

A lovely class of true minor puppies and all showing the characteristics that are so typical of the breed at that age.

1. Neale. Runaround Jazz Singer at Stormalong. Just six months. Very attractive fawn white trim. Beautiful head, well pigmented eyes and nose. Super for size. Lovely overall shape. Front and rear assemblies most promising. Well sprung pasterns, good bone throughout. Correct arch over loin. Moved steadily. BPIS

2. Ainscough Kidaruka Mother Of Mercy. 7 months. Beautiful, black masked fawn, with white trim. Again, fabulous head piece, neat ears. Long, elegant neck, clean shoulders. Deep brisket and well ribbed. Super for length and showing balance throughout for one so young. Confident and moved out with enthusiasm. Most promising.

3. Winkley-Balmer, Morris, Waddell. Edenwhip Wayne’s World

 

PD 5(1)

1. Lloyd. Penwincoed Brews Moon Shine. Brindle. 8 months. Confident and well made. Super head with slight stop. Neat ears. Lovely length of neck running into clean shoulders. Good depth of brisket and curvy underline. Could possibly have more spring to pastern and just a little more length of loin. Moved beautifully on well knuckled and neat feet. Spot on for size.

2. Best. Quattro of Gentle Mind. 11 months very attractive fawn with white trim. Up to size and more heavily built than 1. Lovely head, neck and shoulders, decent bone and excellent feet. Deepest of chests and well sprung ribs. Top line tended to slope too much as handler over stretched him on the stand, although the pup was not cooperative at times. Big striding dog, but must not be moved out of his natural cadence by too much speed.

3. Clark. Willowash Othellos Love

 

Junior Dog 11

A class of dogs at different stages of maturity. Also a variety of sizes and breed types.

1. Howgate and Hull. Palmik King of Clubs JW. Brindle and white. Liked this dog a lot. Typical head with correct ear set, flat skull and slight stop. Elegant neck and clean well laid shoulders. Unexaggerated throughout. Deep brisket, super for length and top line. Decent bone, neat feet. Correct angulations fore and aft. Moved with ease and enthusiasm.

2. Richards. Richclass Run for Cover. Fawn with white trim. Very handsome male. Lovely head, neck and shoulders. Top and underline correct, standing on neat feet with good bone throughout. Angulations unexaggerated. Excellent skin and coat. Super on the move and lengthened as he extended. Shown to his best. Very close decision.

3. Miluk. Westwood Prince Liam

 

Yearling Dog 4

1. Place. Aarminias Luv The Way You Lie JW. Beautiful dog, brindle white points. Fabulous head and expression. Quality from nose to tail. Great for size. Lovely lay of shoulders. Top and underline correct, with deep brisket. Super for bone, standing on neat feet. So balanced throughout and no exaggerations in any department. Fits the breed standard to the last detail. Not always the most enthusiastic of movers but today he went like a dream. Seriously considered him for the top award. An excellent example of the breed. He has time on his side.

2. Neale. Runaround Starman at Stormalong. Fawn with white trim. Classic whippet. Breed typical head, beautiful pigmentation. Neat ears and lovely expression. Ideally, would prefer a more elegant neck. Balanced throughout and certainly no exaggeration in construction. Deep brisket, correct angulations in front and hind quarters. Tail carriage excellent and moved out confidently, true coming and going.

3. Brown. Tamalden Donatello

 

Maiden Dog. 2(1)

1. Lloyd. Archibold Jon From Penwincoed. Shaded fawn, white points. Lovely headed dog. Spot on for size, although ideally could carry more condition for the ring. Very elegant neck and well laid shoulders. Good bone, neat, well arched feet. Curvy underline and slight rise over loin. Pleasing angulations of hind quarters and front assembly good. Handler could be more proactive in maximising his attributes on the stand.

 

Novice Dog 2

Both these young dogs were most promising and there is, I feel, a fair degree of maturing and general bodying up required before they reach their best. Time is on their side.

1. Mycroft, Mycroft and Brown. Shiny Sensations Wish Upon A Star with Supeta (Imp NLD). Brindle, white points. Lovely head and super elegant neck. Good lay of shoulders. Brisket needs to drop but lovely, curvy underline. Great for length and ribs carried well back. Spring of pastern and neat feet. Angulations pleasing. Self assured and carried himself well on the move.

2. Pilkington and Myers. Supeta’s Show and Tell Astrazone. Attractive brindle white trim. Lovely lean head. Elegant neck and clean shoulders. Front assembly just needs to tighten up a little. Deep brisket and good length of loin with correct slight arch. Pleasing spring of pastern and well knuckled feet. Handled well. Moved soundly.

 

Special Beginners Dog 7(2)

1. Trouton. Runnel Run For Fun. I do so like this fawn dog which I have judged before. He has matured into an excellent example of the breed. Balanced from nose to tail tip, with no exaggerations. Classical head, with the lovely pigmentation that complements his colour. Good length of neck. Super front and rear assemblies. Correct spring of pasterns and flat bone. Fit and his musculature evident to eye and hand. Top line held on the move. A super whippet in so many aspects.

2. Coleman. Rogansrock Born Lucky for Silurian. Another pleasing dog. Brindle with white trim, masculine and spot on for size. Lovely for overall shape. A little broad across the chest if I am pushed. Good bone and excellent feet, although pasterns a tad upright. Hind angulation pleasing, with well bent stifles. Moved soundly. This dog has many attributes and the handler needs to showcase them more in order to raise the profile of her charge in the ring.

3. Lloyd. Archibold Jon From Penwincoed.

 

Graduate Dog 5 (3)

Two very different breed types, both with much to like about them and could easily change places on another day. 1. Perkins. Jasarat Jetsetter at Zeglynn ShCM. Brindle. Spot on for size. Very handsome with excellent head, lean skull and correct slight stop. Elegant neck into good shoulders. Decent for bone. Tidy feet, well arched knuckles, pasterns just a little upright. Super deep brisket and top line with slight arch over loin. Well bent stifles and strong second thigh. Moved out soundly and accurately. 2. Clewes. Cyangrange Latino Lustre at Shardbeck. Golden fawn in glorious condition and fine coat. Taller and more elegant than 1, finer boned. Breed typical head, long and lean, with neat ears. Elegant neck and oblique shoulders. Front and rear quarters complementary. Pleasing length of loin, muscled with the required slight arch in top line. Not as accurate in movement as 1. Post

 

Graduate Dog 9 (1)

A class of a variety of breed types, a couple of which, although well constructed hounds, certainly sound and good moving, were over sized and too heavy.

1. Ellis. Railfield Rainmaster JW. Brindle. Taller than 2. Pleasing head, fine ears and flat skull. Long elegant neck. Correct lay of shoulders and long straight forelegs. Deep chest, well ribbed and good top line, held on the move. Lovely condition and in excellent coat. Well bent stifles. Stands over a lot of ground. Free and easy mover, carrying tail as required.

2. Cahill and Timberlake. Enolacans Antonio Banderas at Chipperlake. Pale fawn. Different breed type than 1. Super for size, without sacrificing masculinity. Beautiful head, wide between the eyes and so classic. Elegant neck and front quarters more than pleasing, elbows set under body and lovely spring of ribs. Finest of coats and supple skin. Top line correct. Balanced and no exaggerations. Moved out with energy and accuracy. Handled to perfection.

3. Clewes and Cleaver. Shardbeck Jet Set.

 

Mid Limit Dog 7 (2)

1. Price. Wheelspin Silver Shadow Among Silkdance JW. Totally breed typical, a classic fawn. Hard to find fault in any aspect. Perfect for size, everything in harmony from nose to tail. Beautiful curves in all the right places. No exaggerations, sufficient in bone, masculine and fits the standard from start to finish. Moved soundly, with breed typical free flowing action. I can totally see why he does the winning he does. Personally, would just love him to have that extra dash of showmanship to gild the picture.

2. Darque. Supeta’s Just Call Me Special. Eye catching brindle and white. Larger than 1, but an elegant hound. Lovely lean head, ears a little loose, neck long and arched. Super overall shape and deep brisket. Good for bone and neat feet. Hind quarters strong, well bent stifles with tail carried correctly. My notes say absolutely floated on the move, light and accurate. Would advise not to bait whilst in stack, as he tended to go up on toes, spoiling his front.

3. Perkins. Dejare Would You Believe at Zeglynn ShCM

 

Limit Dog 16 (1)

What a class of absolutely top quality, winning dogs from across the country. Seriously challenging to judge but exciting and so enjoyable. My notes state at the top of the page “Super fabulous class!” My only quibble, was the perpetual baiting whilst I was trying to examine one dog’s head and front on the table. I would advise refraining from baiting the dog whilst the judge is specifically trying to go over this part of the exhibit.

1. Poole and Winkley-Balmer. Edenwhip Quantum Of Solace. I have long admired this dog, he appeals to me in so many ways. Brindle with white trim. Masculine without any coarseness, beautiful head with perfect ratios. Neat fine ears. Long elegant neck, flowing into clean shoulders and great front quarters. Deep brisket, overall balanced and so well constructed. Another dog difficult to find any thing that one would like differently. Strong hind quarters, well let down hocks. Excellent, free mover. Did not disappoint in any aspect. A real showman.

2. Shepherd. Citycroft Sundae With Oxana JW ShCM. Another of my favourite dogs currently in the ring today. Beautiful golden fawn with a stunning head piece. Longer cast than one, he is of excellent size and exudes quality. Lovely long neck, with correct shoulder lay. Super front assembly, straight forelegs and well arched knuckled feet. Curvy underline, one’s hands do literally flow over this dog. Unexaggerated hind quarters, well let down hocks. Fine coated and in excellent condition. Another big moving dog that keeps his shape. He well deserved his position in this class.

3. Smith. Coynachie Crazy Diamond

 

Open Dog 9 (3)

1. Fryer. Collooney Eye Love You at Stonefox. Golden fawn, white points. A beautiful example of the breed and a joy to go over. Fabulous head, masculine with pigmentation that just enhances the bone structure beneath. Elegant neck, oblique lay of shoulders. Straight bones, neat feet and sufficient spring of pasterns. Deep brisket, curvy underline. Topline with correct rise over loin. Skin and coat supple and fine. Strong hindquarters, decent second thighs and well let down hocks. Presented in excellent condition. Balanced stacked and on the move. Easy mover, so true coming and going. He was at his best today, deserving the awarding of his third CC and going onto BIS.

2. Coulter and Fletcher. Ir Ch Collooney Prawn Star. Brindle.What an elegant Whippet. Fabulous head, long necked, arched and flowing into clean shoulders. Super front assembly. Standing on tight feet, pasterns with slight spring. Excellent ribbing and forechest. Superb length and balanced on the stand and on the move. Fine coat, fit and carrying just the right amount of condition. Hind quarters well constructed and in harmony with the front. Moved out with enthusiasm, true coming and going. Top quality from head to tail. Real show presence and demanded my attention. Loved this dog. RDCC & RBIS

3. Yacoby-Wright. Cobyco Standing Ovation.

 

Special Open Blue or Black Dog 4 1.

Manners and Glasspool. Penbriar Dark Secret at Mannerpool. Black in tip top shape and so well constructed. Masculine head, long and lean, neat ears. Elegant neck, super front assembly. Deep chest, ribs well sprung. Coat and skin to die for, fine and supple. Hind quarters strong and certainly sound on the move, free and easy mover. Exceedingly well handled to really showcase this well constructed hound.

2. Wilkinson Rowangarth Wind of Change By Fletchgate. Black. Taller than one and more strongly built throughout. Lovely masculine head, super ear carriage and used them well. Long neck and good shoulders. Deep chest and pleasing front assembly. Strong loin and well angulated hind quarters. Good tight feet. Another one in very fine coat. Moved out well.

3. Morris and Waddell. Gilnockie Happy Days.

 

Veteran Dog. 6(1) 1. Whitehead, Smith and Mixidies. Ch Citycroft Star Gazing Over Yialousa JW. Handsome fawn. Beautiful head, just a touch of grey round the muzzle. Excellent breed type and a quality male. Good length of neck and front quarters are well constructed. Deep chest, elbows tight and ribs are well sprung. Loin strong and underline smooth and curvy. Hind quarters unexaggerated and stands over good ground. Active and sound on the move. Easily holding his own in the line up today. BVD & RBVIS

2. Short. Ch Collooney Going Dutch. Smaller fawn and in excellent order for his age, which I find difficult to believe. Neat and compact, balanced and without any exaggerations in construction. Handsome head, with a super front assembly. Neat feet and the desired spring of pasterns. Deepest of chests, ribs well sprung. Holds his top line on the stack and on the move. Hind quarters still well muscled, so sound and free moving. An excellent example of our breed and more than adequately emphasises the longevity of our Whippets to be active in the show ring.

3. Winup and Paipala. Dalzeah Winter Melody Cum Rogansrock.

Northern Counties Whippet Club Championship Show Special Awards Classes – Sunday 14th April 2019

A lovely well organised show with  friendly, welcoming atmosphere from the committee and exhibitors.

​

JD/B (8,4)

1st

Pilkingtons and Myers Supeta’s Show and Tell Astrazone 12mth super young dog just out of puppy.  Presented a balance picture stood and on the move. Correct head, long and lean, very alert in the eye. Had lovely depth of chest for a youngster.  Elegant length of neck leading to good lay of shoulder, with good length to the upper arm and good pasterns.  Just the right arch over his loin into strong hindquarters.  Good bend of stifle and strong thighs, needs to just strengthen in second thigh but I am sure this will come as he matures. True, straight, balanced movement out and back with good front reach.  Held his topline very well. 

2nd

Strong and Clintons’s Amphoras Magiq in Vogue by Mackjama 16mth bitch A very pretty more mature bitch than 1st, all the same qualities of the dog however she was not quite as balanced on the move.  Beautiful feminine head, alert eye and elegant neck.  Good lay of shoulder but I would prefer a little more length to her upper arm.  Deep chested, well sprung ribs and lovely arch over her loin.  Not quite the front reach on the move but held her topline well.

 

OD/B (8,3)

1st

Wilkinson’s CityCroft Starfall JW 21mth bitch.  An interesting class with differing types.  A balanced, unexaggerated bitch throughout.  Good head, alert in the eye, elegant neck into laid shoulders, nice length to upper arm.  Well sprung ribs, strong thighs and hocks well down.  I would prefer her to have more depth to her chest, a little more arch over her loin and slight more to her stifle however she moved very well and was the strongest mover in the class. 

2nd

Smiths Coynachie Crazy for Love 4yr bitch.  A pretty bitch with many qualities, smaller stature than the winner.  Pretty head, good eye, elegant neck  Lacked a little in stifle.  She lacked a little in enthusiasm which showed in her movement sadly.
