Manchester 2023
Judge - Richard C Kinsey
JD (2,1)
1 Williams & Hall’s Belshanmish Dark Star Just a year old and so
well schooled for the ring today. Scores well in head being strong and
proportionate with dark pigmentation throughout. Correct dentition and
strength in jaws. Strong neck easing into clean well placed shoulders and
straight front. Well off for bone and substance for his age. Stands on
compact feet. Easy on the move with steady driving action.
PGD (1)
1 Challinor & Challinor’s Shanlimore Marvin Rising 2 years old and
to be picky I would like to have seen better body covering and bone on him.
Good head to handle with correct dentition, dark eyes and well set ears.
Ample spring of rib and depth of chest, topline is a tad soft but this can
easily be rectified with better body toning through exercise. Steady on the
move but somewhat lethargic ion the day.
LD (4)
1 Carter’s Jumicar Just An Illusion Honest no nonsense dog with
good outline when stacked up and on the move. Strong head piece, dark eyes
well set ears and correct bite. Steady and true on the move from any angle.
Shown in good hard jacket.
2 McBain’s Lisjovia Flaming Drambuie for Willmac Well balanced all through
with good head to handle, dark pigmentation and eyes. Strong neck into
moderate forehand with matching quarters. Needs to strengthen in topline and
back to be at his best. Accurate on the move coming and going.
3 Holmes’ Lisjovia Sign Of The Times
OD (3,1)
1 Pollard & Maggs’ Ch Gillandant Thief Of Hearts at Dewyche This 3
year old has everything just where it should in terms of framework and as
such he just had to move as fluently and powerfully as he did. Super head
shape and size with dark almond eyes giving an assured expression. Well
angulated and muscled in forehand with corresponding quarters giving him a
balanced silhouette whether static or in motion. Good depth of chest and
spring in rib, topline is firm and level at all times thanks to his body
toning. Everything blends together to produce a good picture and is topped
off with the best of well prepared jackets. DCC & BOB
2 Reilly’s Uk Ch Sw Ch Ir Ch Esp Ch Multi Int Ch Lisjovia Boris Bear at
Darmaror JW SCh Shc Ex CE19 Another fine example of this breed now 6 years
old and showing no signs of this in his movement where he is as fluent as
ever and accurate in his footfall. Dark eyes and general pigmentation, ears
set on level with eyes. Powerfully put together in forehand and matched
pound for pound in hindquarters. Presented to perfection in toning and
jacket. Pushed hard RDCC
SBD (3,1)
1 Challinor & Challinor’s Shanlimore Marvin 2 Carter’s Jumicar Just
An Illusion
PB (1)
1 Baverstock & Baverstock’s Kalkasi Star Of The Stage What a star
this precocious 10 month old should be if she carries on in her development
as she is today. Scores well in head with correct dentition, mid range
almond eyes and well set ears. Enough length of neck into very good forehand
in terms of angulation supported by compact feet. Ample spring of rib for
her age and size, topline is perhaps a tad soft on the stand but levels on
the move which I would say is purely age related. Hindquarters mirror her
front to a “T” allowing an easy and direct movement. Put down in good
jacket. One to watch. BPIB
JB (6)
1 Bowker & Gibson’s Febus Anapeou JW Another promising star in the
making, already so well schooled for the show ring. Good head to handle,
proportionate and strong without being overdone in any way. Well muscled and
angulated fore and aft giving her a balanced and controlled easy movement
from any angle. Put down to the minute in clean harsh jacket to complete the
picture. Another to follow as she matures on. RBCC
2 Downes’ Belshanmish Ocean Soul Close up to winner in so many ways but a
tad shorter cast but that said she is just as balanced and controlled on the
move thanks to her framework and body toning. Scores well in head, clean
planes with mid brown almond eyes and strong jawline. Well let down in chest
and sprung in rib, holds a firm topline at all times. Defined in quarters.
Shown in full bloom. 3 Carter’s Jumicar Moonstone
PGB (6)
1 Carter’s Jumicar Moonstone Stood 3rd in the last class.
Proportionate head piece with dark pigment all round. Moderate angulation
front and rear. Toned in body all through. Good ribbing and firm in back.
Easy stride action all ways. Presented in full clean jacket.
2 Hopkins & Hopkins’ Lisjovia Sweet But Psycho Smaller cast than winner but
balanced all the same. Good head shape and size for her body. Moderate front
and rear angulation and muscle toning. Steady on the move at all times.
Presentation of coat could be better.
3 Goodwin & Goodwin’s Lisjovia White Lady avec Montmusique JW.
LB (5,2)
1 Carter’s Jumicar Sweet Lady Luck 2 years old and developing well
just needs more time to be at her best. Good head shape and size with
correct dentition and strong jawline. Angulation is balanced fore and aft
allowing her a free and easy movement. Shown in good conditioning from coat
to body toning.
2 Thorne’s Belshanmish New Sensation at Pyrajay JW This youngster is a
favourite of mine but today she was far from her best which given her
framework was disappointing as she has everything just where it should be
and the potential to go far, but she lacked body and coat on the day. On the
move she is spot on because of her build and will surely be back with a bang
when she bodies up again.
3 Asher’s Patablanca Phoenix
OB (6,1)
1 Pollard’s Ch Gillandant Ophelia Another quality exhibit from this
kennel and like her kennel mate everything knits together so well in her
framework that she just could not move incorrectly. Strong proportionate
head without any hint of coarseness and no doubting her obvious femininity.
Well toned and angulated fore and aft giving her balance and poise at all
times. She is a joy to go over and well deserving of her title. Put down to
the minute in gleaming jacket of good texture. BCC
2 Baverstock & Baverstock’s Kalkasi The Eternal Chase JW Close to winner in
so many ways with a very good head shape and size. Dark pigment all through,
mid brown almond eyes and well set ears. Powerful in forehand, well
angulated shoulders and straight front with compact feet. Deep in chest and
correct in ribbing. Firm topline and strong back. Covers the ground
efficiently with minimal fuss. Put down in good coat and toning. RBCC
3 Church & Bamford’s Lisjovia Keep The Faith for Pafaxen
VB (1)
1 Fergus’ Daveangel Reddest Ruby Moderately built in framework all
through. Strong proportionate head with dark almond eyes and well placed
ears. Short strong neck into muscular front with compact feet. Dense jacket
and maybe a tad heavy and this in turn hampered her movement as she was
somewhat lethargic today. BVIB
SBB (4)
1 Carter’s Jumicar Sweet Lady Luck 1st in LB
2 Harris’ Febus Hardknott At 20 months old this lady needs to be better
bodied and built all through. She has a good head to go over but needs a bit
more fill under her eyes, dark pigment and correct bite . Strong neck to
moderate front assembly. Easy stride pattern and footfall just needs time to
mature on.
3 Bhattacharya’s Uptown Girl
