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
