I was a bit disturbed to be faced with so many varying grooming styles/patterns on the dogs, while I concede that no two people will interpret the breed’s unique grooming shape exactly alike, some were trimmed in such a way that it was almost detrimental to their dogs outline & head properties. Tailset & carriage has greatly improved, far fewer gay tails here today than when I last judged which is wonderful. Quality, on the whole is good, the open classes in particular possessed some lovely examples of the breed, making some decisions exceptionally close & thought provoking, the veterans, yet again, proving their worth & their staying power by giving the youngsters a good run for their money. The importers, breeders & exhibitors should be justly proud that they have brought the breed to CC standard, & I thank you all for bringing your lovely dogs under me. VD 1 RCC, Withers’ Int Ch Captain Crochet du Champ d’Eole, a superb dog, dark medium eyes, long muzzle , strong jaws, good earset, long, arched neck, well laid shoulders, good spring of ribs, topline rises gently over firm loins , well angled hind & stands parallel, feet well padded, long tailset on & carried correctly, coat is of good silky texture. Not moving as freely & propulsive as I have seen him before, but bucked up his ideas a bit in the challenge to take RCC. The first RCC awarded in the breed. PD 1 Tobijanski’s Janski Promises Jones, all quite raw puppies here, a pleasing head shape with strong jaws, lean neck into fair shoulders, good topline rising to firm hindquarters, good tailset, solid padding on feet, moved true; 2 Scott-Downie’s Janski Quintavius, colour still to clear, long head, ears set on close to cheeks, fairly wide across the chest, well ribbed, good rise to topline, moved out well with plenty of drive; 3 Lewis’ Janski Philosopher Dajaces, good body length, head is balanced with long muzzle & graduated back skull, quite wide in fore as he comes towards you, well boned, super feet, well presented. JD (0). PGD 1 Taylor’s Janski Ossie Jones at Polede, pale silver, best of heads with long muzzle leading to a gently widening back skull, good earset, lean neck, pleasing body shape, well muscled, moves out well in profile, but not parallel going away; 2 Marett’s Gayteckels Bak In The Abbott, larger male, dark eyes in long balanced head, good earset, short shoulders, long strong loins, good topline rising gently, muscular all through, moved out well in profile. LD 1 Lewis’ Ridley Xanto for Dajaces, elegant male, head proportions are good, a definite blunt triangle shape, good bite & jaws, arched muscular neck, well laid shoulders, straight forelegs, well ribbed, would like a better topline as he tends to flatten, long hindquarters, good tailset & carriage, moved out true with desired propulsion; 2 Brocks’ Talyot Hermes, chunky fellow, good earset, muscular neck leading into equally muscular shoulders, good bone, well sprung ribbing, firm hindquarters used well on the move.

Pleased to award him the first ever Cesky Terrier CC; 2 Tobijanski’s Janski Blue Moon, this dog presents a more elegant outline, shade short in muzzle but good length of skull, with strong jaws, lean muscular neck on good shoulders, good depth of brisket & fair spring of ribs, well angled hindquarters, good tailset & carriage, movement was true but had a tendency to lose his outline; 3 Richardson & Wilson’s Ch Alchemy Chalma Figaro Talyot, darker fellow, admired his head proportions, good easet with quality leathers, well laid shoulders, lean muscular neck. straight forelegs, good ribbing, well angled hind, although true in movement it was somewhat hesitant & lacked drive.

VB 1 CC, BOB, Tobijanski’s Janski Celtic Ceska, pale silver, & can only echo what has been written before about this beautiful bitch, she has one of the best heads, neither too Sealyham nor too Scottie, neat, high set ears, lean muscular neck into well laid shoulders, well sprung ribs, with firm loins of correct length, rising topline which she held at all times, gentle sweep over the croup, well angled hind with parallel hocks, moved true with drive & propulsion, I thought her near perfect when I judged her in 2010, the years have been kind & she remains a ‘tour de force’ in her 10th year; 2 Burrages’ Vandell Sweet Song of Sametova, lovely bitch, so attentive, a shade lighter in frame, long lean head with good jaws, lean neck into shapely shoulders, presented a lovely balanced outline of good proportions, well angled hind & used to advantage with good driving movement; 3 Harris’ Pendevour Pheel The Music, made up a trio of beautiful bitches, similar in outline & proportions to 2, head balanced & in proportion, leading into a lean muscular neck, well bodied, firm rise to topline, very unsettled on the move.

CESKY JUDGE CRUFTS 17

Cesky Terriers

I was thrilled & honoured to be invited by the Crufts committee to award the first set of CC’s to Cesky Terriers, it is a day I will hold very dear.

I was a bit disturbed to be faced with so many varying grooming styles/patterns on the dogs, while I concede that no two people will interpret the breed’s unique grooming shape exactly alike, some were trimmed in such a way that it was almost detrimental to their dogs outline & head properties.

Tailset & carriage has greatly improved, far fewer gay tails here today than when I last judged which is wonderful. Quality, on the whole is good, the open classes in particular possessed some lovely examples of the breed, making some decisions exceptionally close & thought provoking, the veterans, yet again, proving their worth & their staying power by giving the youngsters a good run for their money. The importers, breeders & exhibitors should be justly proud that they have brought the breed to CC standard, & I thank you all for bringing your lovely dogs under me.

1 RCC, Withers’ Int Ch Captain Crochet du Champ d’Eole, a superb dog, dark medium eyes, long muzzle , strong jaws, good earset, long, arched neck, well laid shoulders, good spring of ribs, topline rises gently over firm loins , well angled hind & stands parallel, feet well padded, long tailset on & carried correctly, coat is of good silky texture. Not moving as freely & propulsive as I have seen him before, but bucked up his ideas a bit in the challenge to take RCC. The first RCC awarded in the breed.

1 Tobijanski’s Janski Promises Jones, all quite raw puppies here, a pleasing head shape with strong jaws, lean neck into fair shoulders, good topline rising to firm hindquarters, good tailset, solid padding on feet, moved true;

2 Scott-Downie’s Janski Quintavius, colour still to clear, long head, ears set on close to cheeks, fairly wide across the chest, well ribbed, good rise to topline, moved out well with plenty of drive;

3 Lewis’ Janski Philosopher Dajaces, good body length, head is balanced with long muzzle & graduated back skull, quite wide in fore as he comes towards you, well boned, super feet, well presented.
