DANDIE DINMONT JUDGE BIRMINGHAM NATIONAL 19

I enjoyed judging the Dandies alot and would like to thank you all for your entries. The quality was very high and several top quality exhibits were in the running for the top awards. I had never before seen or judged such a big number of Dandies of this quality so it was a bit of a hallelujah moment for me. Temperaments were excellent throughout the day and I was in many cases impressed by the reach and drive in movements. Some toplines were a little exaggerated but for the most part they were correct. Fronts always need to be watched and in some cases I would have liked a little more coat.

SBD (1)

1 Desfontaines & Sutton’s Cofgodas Northern Spy. Nice ten month old dog, coat coming along nicely, head ok, good shoulder. Needs to put a little more into his showing to be at full advantage. Sound mover.

PD (2)

1 Bamber’s Dentgate Huckleberry. Quality puppy, exceptionally sound and covers the ground well. Beautiful head and expression. Super topline. Good coat. Carries himself beautifully on the move. BP.

2 Desfontaines & Sutton’s Cofgodas Northern Spy.

JD (2)

1 Webber & Webber’s Lilyphanie Great Showman. Another very promising young dog with good topline. Excellent proportions skull/muzzle. Moved well.

2 Desfontaines & Sutton’s Cofgodas Northern Spy.

PGD (2) 1 McLaughlan & Fitzsimmons’ Wilmit Hawkeye Pierce At Lanleadane. Nice dog, good head, could do with a better front and would like to see better front extension when viewed in profile. 2 Pettit’s Cofgodas Wolf River. Good length of body, nice head, good coat quality. Would prefer a better mouth. Moved ok.

LD (4)

1 Stanley & Stanley’s Sokrovische Gardariki Aristokrat At Waffelin. Very well presented dog with a very nice outline. Masculine head and good expression. Plenty of substance. Good legs and feet. Effortless mover.

2 Gnatyuk’s Dariant Chelentano. Another nice dog but prefered topline of 1 and would have liked a little more coat. Sound mover.

3 Harcourt-Morris’ Dainty Dandies River Mersey At Lenacourt.

OD (6,1)

1 Booth’s Ch Borderstone Kingman For Lannia. This dog’s excellent breed type hit me in the eye the minute he entered the ring. He is so well constructed and has an excellent front. Good head and expression. Good coat and well carried tail. Super movements and he carried himself beautifully I awarded him the CC and Best of Breed and he was later short listed in the group, well done.

2 Deacon & Hill’s Ch & Am Gr Ch Pennywise On The Road Again (Imp USA). Another dog out of the top drawer, unlucky to meet 1 in excellent form. Lovely masculine head. Excellent topline. Good coat texture. Prefered the front of 1 which was the deciding factor in this case but was pleased to award him the RCC.
