GLEN OF IMAAL JUDGE DARLINGTON 19

It was an honour to judge this lovely breed once more. The atmosphere round the ring was so pleasant as the Glen exhibitors are such a sporting group going out of their way to congratulate each others wins.

LD (2)

These two exhibits are father and son.

1 Tobijanski & Tobijanski’s Romainville Becks Blue For Zippor. Four and a half yrs, strongly built blue, all male with superb bone, glorious head and expression, strong neck and correct front assembly, chest wide, deep body with well sprung rib, moved freely and with great purpose, was not wearing his very best coat, appearing sparse in patches, however, a fine exhibit and all Glen.

2 Harley’s Abberann Running Down A Dream. 2 yrs, also all male exhibit, with lovely bone and strongly made throughout, nice headpiece, neck and shoulder, moved out well in front but a little closer behind than his sire. A happy showman.

OD (3)

1 Withers’ Pajantick Razamataz. Lovely 4 yr old blue male, so strongly made throughout with the best of bone, legs and feet, cracking headpiece with great skull, powerful foreface and that expression! Nicely turned out in his quality coat, well handled to get the best from his free movement using those strong hindquarters. CC.

2 Alstead’s Ch Golden Spurs. Another really nice Glen, not quite so masculine all through as first, but strongly built with good head and expression, good body properties and shown in good coat, handler really got that showmanship going. Close up to first but moved a little tighter behind, splitting hairs here. Worthy Ch. RCC today.

3 Hannington’s Ch Int Ch Bel Swiss Boudivella Oscar.

PB (2)

1 Harley & Hardy’s Amhard Peanut Brittle. 9 mths blue, shown in good coat for age, nice head and expression and built on strong lines with good bones and feet, strong neck and topline, steadier mover than second.

2 Horton’s Jeonty Golden Princess. Though nearly out of puppy this wheaten youngster appeared less mature than first, I say ‘appeared’ because in my notes I’ve written ‘needs training’ and this made her more difficult to assess. She comes from a renowned kennel from top quality stock so I have faith she will settle down and bloom in time.

LB (2, 1)

1 Kirkwood’s Jeonty Letty Be Magic. This is a really smart showgirl of 2 yrs. She has a lovely head and expression, correct neck and front assembly with strong backline and sturdy quarters. I’d say she’s just coming into her best and when it came to the challenge I longed for two CCs. The BB just had the edge in maturity and finish, but this lovely quality girl is a certain champion in the making had to be content with the RCC today.

OB (3, 1)

1 Alstead’s Ch Sigrid Helga At Pantcottage. Three and a half yr old lady that screams quality and ‘look at me!’ Lovely head and eye, strong correct bite, nice neck and shoulder, correct front assembly, strong backline and sturdy quarters. In her quality jacket she sweeps round the ring expecting to win. CC and BOB.

2 Forbes’ Jeonty Dream With Karensbrae JW. At just over 2 yrs, she is a rich wheaten colour, nice head and expression with good bite, strong neck and topline, tidy front and good quarters. I have noticed this bitch is always quite severely trimmed and feel her general appearance would be improved by leaving more furnishings. As things are, she appears leggy.
