Southern Counties Championship Show 2021
Judge - Jane Paradise
Thank you to Jim and Graham for stewarding for me today. I think that we
were all grateful to Southern Counties for managing to put on a splendid show
against all the odds. The Society has been a trail blazer for all general
championship shows attempting to put on a show post Covid. Thank you for your
entries and for supporting the show – when we have mixed feelings about wanting
to return to our hobby but still obviously feel some uneasiness and need to
minimise our overall health risk. One of the memories I will have of today was
the genuine camaraderie around the ring, with exhibitors congratulating one
another and sharing each others success. It made the day a real pleasure to
experience. Some handlers found the big ring challenging, as most of us are out
of condition. Could I ask that you practice your triangles and straight lines!
The judge needs to view your dog’s movement from behind, side view, and the
front. To give the judge the best possible view of your dog you need to run in
straight lines – from where the judge is stood (study the handler of BPIB for
tips on how to get the best from your dog). Double dew claws all in order. I was
very pleased with the health of the breed, with no dogs giving me undue cause
for concern. I felt that the strength in the backends had improved from when I
last judged.

1 Kenyon & Ward’s Charibere Simply The Sequel At Kaianna. Only 8 months and so
composed and self assured. Most attractive outline with great presence already.
Dark brown eyes of correct almond shape, slanting obliquely downwards. Skull
handles well. Fairly short neck. Good topline. Moved steadily in a perfect
triangle. Should have a very bright future. Handled sympathetically. BPIB.
2 Spier’s Belshanmish Midnight Magic. Another delightful puppy showing great
promise. I just preferred the overall angulation, fore and aft, of the first
place. Thick, plush coat, strong teeth in excellent bite and big black nose.
Moved steadily with tail held in a curl. The youngsters certainly look good for
the future of the breed.
JD (4)
1 Carter’s Jumicar Just An Illusion. This happy boy was well off for bone,
straight forelegs and excellent width to chest. Excellent length to tail. Moved
with ease with impressive reach and length of stride. Would just prefer a little
more strength in hock to complete the picture. Best Junior.
2 Charibere Simply The Sequel At Kaianna.
3 Baverstock’s Kalkasi Wicked Spirit.
PGD (10, 2) 1 Goodman’s Lisjovia Avicii With Annanya. This dog filled
the eye in all respects. In ex coat. Small triangular ears. Neat feet. Good
skull width. Chest of correct width and depth. Strong hocks provided drive and
correct front angulation gave good front extension. 2 Morris & Tadd’s Pashme De
La Vallee Du Girou With Kricarno (Imp FRA) TAF. Well set eyes, and loved his
tight, neat lips, mouth, furrow, occiput and small ears. Close up to first but
preferred firsts movement today. 3 Kennedy & Roberts’ Chezanna Living The Dream
For Joamjess.
LD (4)
1 Pollard & Maggs’ Gillandant Thief Of Hearts At Dewyche. Totally masculine
whilst not being exaggerated or overdone in any way. Fabulous head all through
with tight black lips. Excellent profile, front and rear angulation
complimenting one another to provide overall perfect balance. Curl to end of
long tail. He moves so well from all angles, moving straight and true. Surely
one destined for top honours. RCC.
2 Downes’ Belshanmish Orange Crush. This lad has a pleasing head, shortish neck,
and correct body length to height ratio. He has excellent side gait. However, he
was beaten by first today on his overall lack of body width hence he is narrower
in front and behind, which affects his front and rear movement.
3 Edwards’ Shanlimore Lorenzo.
OD (6, 1) A fabulous class to judge and nit pick for the first three who
I see from the catalogue are all worthy champions.
1 Reilly’s Ch/Swiss/Ir/Multi/Int Ch Lisjovia Boris Bear At Darmaror JW ShCM
ShCEx. There is strength all through this dog but also athleticism and elegance.
All lines flow easily into one another to give the correct shape with balanced
proportions. Fabulous plume on his tail with J hook to end. The bond between
handler and dog is apparent for all to see. He oozes quiet confidence and
charisma. CC & BOB.
2 Downes’ Ch Rivergroves All The Right Moves Ii At Belshanmish (Imp USA). Really
attractive masculine head. Well boned. This one can stand himself a little
narrow in front and lazily pace on the move, but when corrected and moved at the
optimum speed he is so pleasurable to watch. His dew claws are correctly so low
that they really do act as extra toes rather than useless appendages.
3 Holmes’ Ch Lisjovia Esteve JW ShCM ShCEx.
SPD (2, 1)
1 Carter’s Jumicar Just An Illusion. Best Sp Beg.
VD (2)
1 Asher’s Granchester Imoulou. Seven and a half years old and can show the
youngsters a clean pair of heels. Dark eyes, obliquely set. Correct depth of
chest, strong loins, hook to tail bone. Well boned forelegs and strength in
pasterns and hocks. BV.
2 Barnes’ Shanlimore Lucky Spirit At Patablanca. Almost 8 years old. Mature
bodied. Excellent bite still, with tight black lips. Good angulation front and
rear. Can occasionally throw a rear leg.
SPB (1)
1 Carter’s Jumicar Sweet Lady Luck. Pretty girl of substantial build and bone.
Small ears, good bite. Liked her occiput, slight furrow and tight lips. Strong
neck. J to tail. Moved well around the ring with purpose and precision.
PB (4, 2)
1 Thorne’s Belshanmish New Sensation At Pyrajay. Fabulous shape and balance.
Occiput slightly pronounced, large open nostrils. Excellent front and rear
assembly and strong hocks. Holds her topline standing and on the move.
2 Williams & James’ Belshanmish Total Eclipse. Another promising mischievous
puppy. Very pretty with excellent scissor bite. Similar comments as first but
standing a little straighter in hock joint.
JB (4, 1)
1 Dearman & Henson’s Lisjovia Witches Promise For Pyrekees. Impressive girl with
blackest of pigment and tight lips. Excellent angulation all round, neat feet
and good pasterns. J to end of tail which has a volumous plume. Covers the
ground well on the move.
2 Jumicar Sweet Lady Luck.
3 Kennedy & Roberts’ Kalkasi Shadow Chaser For Joamjess.
PGB (6, 1)
1 Wilcock’s Penellcy She’s Like The Wind. A lovely girl with the best correct
angulation in the class but not overdone.Strong neck. Good width to front and
all through with oval ribcage. Moved true from all aspects.
2 Baverstock’s Kalkasi The Eternal Chase JW. Close up to first, longer legged
but all in proportion to size. Straight forelegs. Moved calmly with an easy
stride.
3 Asher’s Patablanca Phoenix.
LB (9, 1)
1 Goodwin’s Lisjovia Adagio Avec Montmusique JW. Heading a very strong
class. She scored over the others in her layback of shoulder, well turned
stifles and width all through her body, with correct topline. Small ears, clean
eyes. Moving so easily and freely.
2 Tadd’s Kricarno Katchmeifyoukan. Attractive lady, narrower in front than first
but holds a quality typical outline. Excellent strength but femininity in head.
Ears a little larger than first. Good side gait stride.
3 Pollard’s Gillandant Ophelia.
OB (5)
1 Thorne’s Ch Belshanmish Pretty In Pink At Pyrajay ShCM ShCEx. Stunning girl
that holds your attention both on the stand and moving. Excellent bite, 50/50
head proportions, dark brown eyes. Excellent width all through but with a
defined waist. Topline held at all times. When she moves it is a joy to behold
with parallel movement. Expertly handled making it all look so effortless. CC
2 Downes’ Febus Fleurac (AI). Another quality girl with so much to appreciate.
So well constructed all through which is evident when putting in a great
performance on the move. Excellent compact feet. Tight lipped and a quality
headpiece with flat cheeks to complete the picture. RCC
3 Tadd & Horwood’s Kricarno Krystal Kopykat.
