Bath 2023
Judge Jane Paradise
Thank you to the exhibitors on whom I was sprung as a replacement
judge when I was contacted on the morning by the Secretary whilst driving to
the show. I do hope that the original judge, Sue Hewart-Chambers, was
alright after her fall in the hotel. All double dew claws present.
VD (1)
. Kricano Kinetic. 7 year old handsome lad. Strong neck, ex
shoulder placement, level topline. Black lips, amber brown eyes and dark eye
rims, triangular ears held flat to head. Large feet. Moving straight and
true, if just a little close behind. In excellent jacket.
PD (1)
1 Munson’s Travis Bear Du Pyrdanti for Pyrbern (Imp Fra). Liked his
size and overall shape. Dark brown eyes and dark rims. Ex scissor bite and
black roof to mouth. Well off for bone. In quality coat with neck mane.
Lovely length to his tail. Full of fun, just needs to stop skipping along
and settle down into himself to tidy up his rear movement – but this is what
we want to see at this age – a puppy enjoying himself. BPD.
JD (1)
1. Williams & Hall’s Belshanmish Dark Star. Dark melting eyes. In
glorious coat and so well presented. Tall on leg, he has very good control
over his limbs for his age and stage of development. Perfect bite and black
roof. Straight forelegs and ex topline. Ex muscle tone. He tries to fool
around on the move by pacing and leaping but also manages a few (enough)
strides to show straight and sound movement. Has a bright future.
PGD (2)
1. Baverstock’s Kalkasi Just Because JW. Lovely dark brown eyes and
clean neat lips with no looseness of flews. Well boned, loved his ribcage,
long tail, strong hocks and well muscled rear end. Moved around the ring
with pride.
2. Dearman & Henson’s Lisjovia Eternal Guardian for Pyrekees. An honest lad
with a strong head and large nose. Darkest of thick eye rims. Not quite as
strong in rear as 1st.
LD (6,1a)
1. Jones’ Lisjovia A Sky Full of Stars. Took the RDCC on his
wonderful movement today. In impressive coat and condition. Ex head planes,
dark eye rims and well shaped eyes giving a kind expression. Deep brisket &
well ribbed back. So well muscled giving strength and power.
2. Shepherd’s Vis’kali’s Hazuki del Avantgarde (Imp Swe) (ai). 2nd and 3rd
running close to one another. Good angulation fore and aft though his
topline was a little slack at times. Movement was precise, albeit a little
sluggish – maybe he gave up being interested due to the long wait whilst I
judged my scheduled breeds!
3. Kennedy & Roberts’ Chezanna Living The Dream for Joamjess
OD (4)
1. Reilly’s Ch/swiss/ir/multi/int Ch Lisjovia Boris Bear at
Darmaror JW ShCM ShCEx Cw19 . Had I been scheduled as the judge today I
would probably not have had the pleasure of judging this great ambassador
for the breed as I gave him DCC and BOB last time I judged. He just improves
with age. Such a wonderful imposing specimen, oozing charisma, and
surprisingly light on his feet for his size and build. No hesitation in
awarding him the same accolades today. Such a wonderful bond between dog and
handler. DCC & BOB.
2. Carter’s Jumicar Just An Illusion. Wolf sable markings, fabulous bone,
deep chested and holding his topline at all times.Large nose and ex
pigmentation.
3. Kenyon & Ward’s Charibere Simply The Sequel at Kaianna JW
Spec Beg (2)
1. Carter’s Jumicar Just An Illusion. BSB.
2. Munson’s - Travis Bear Du Pyrdanti for Pyrbern (Imp Fra)
VB (1)
1. Thorne’s Ch Belshanmish Pretty in Pink at Pyrajay ShCM ShCEx VW.
Now 9 years old and my BCC last time I judged. She goes from strength to
strength and is such a grand representative of how a giant breed can stay on
top form and be competitive at the highest level well into veteran. Fabulous
bite. In tip top condition and moving soundly in all directions. RBCC.
BVIB.
PB (1)
1. Fieldhouse & Haslett ‘s Tessa Du Massif De L’esterel (Imp Fra).
What a super puppy. She has a tendency to stand lazily with her forelegs
splayed but when she moves her forelegs move straight forwards and her rear
movement is spot on. Well laid shoulders, and good turn of stifle. Well
ribbed. One with an exciting future. BPB & BPIB
JB (2)
1. Downes’ Belshanmish Ocean Soul. 15 months with a truly lovely
outline. . A quality youngster in thick coat. Liked her a lot. Ex
presentation and handling. Moving smartly around the ring.
2. Baverstock’s Kalkasi Star of The Stage. Liked her head proportions. Not
quite the bone and build of 1st. Moving a little wide in front. Good turn of
stifle.
PGB (5)
1. Goodwin’s Lisjovia White Lady avec Montmusique JW. A little
longer cast but acceptable in a bitch. She excelled in shoulder placement
and elbows correctly not too close to ribs or too far apart from ribs.
Stands on firm, neat feet, with well arched toes. Adequate sweep of stifle.
Holds herself well on the move.
2. Flounders’ Kalkasi Just Imperial at Lakamoni. I did like her a lot as she
has so much to appreciate, on the stand she is a picture of balance with a
lovely silhouette. Not moving out quite as well as 1st which cost her the
class.
3. Carter’s Jumicar Moonstone
LB (4,1)
1. Thorne’s Belshanmish New Sensation at Pyrajay JW. I believe that
she will be slow to body up and mature but will be worth the wait. Loved her
bone construction in front and behind and her straight forelegs and well
turned stifles. A little bit slack in topline just at the moment but when
she springs out and has more body covering this should correct itself.
2. Kennedy & Roberts’ Kalkasi Shadow Chaser for Joamjess. Another to
appreciate – beautiful eyes, ahead of 1st in body maturity and good rear
angulation but not as tidy as 1st on the move.
3. Duffell’s Ricaduffal Rock Star
OB (7,2) What a stunning class.
1. Wilcock’s Ch Penellcy She’s Like The Wind. Power and femininity. Strength
and softness. So well balanced with correct body proportions. Fabulous nose
and lips. Deep chest and ex body breadth all through. Loved her front reach
and rear drive from strong and powerful hocks. I thought that the VB would
be my winner again today until this girl stepped into the ring and beguiled
me. BCC.
2. Carter’s Jumicar Sweet Lady Luck. A quality lady with her silhouette and
breed type from head to toe. Appealing leg feathering and skirts giving a
finished and mature look.
3. Tadd’s Kricarno Katchmeifyoukan
