AIREDALE CRUFTS 24 Judge: Mr M Hacker I would like to thank the Crufts team for making us welcome and looking after us so well, also the ring stewards who were outstanding. Thank you to the exhibitors for their sporting attitude, it all made for a most enjoyable day. Movement remains a real problem in the breed with many dogs looking promising when standing but disappointing on the move. Temperament on the whole is good, the few reticent exhibits probably just being uncooperative rather than nervous. I noticed quite a few who were rather longer cast than one would wish – something to watch out for in the future. Congratulations to the BOB on being short-listed in the group. Major winners were: DCC & BOB Brown’s Ch Jokyl Daily Special JW, RDCC Callon & Callon-Winn’s Ch Russtam Jax The Gentleman, BCC & RBOB Turner’s Ch Crillee Carry On Party Baby, RBCC Underwood’s Ch Jokyl Rising Star, BP Pickering’s Jolliver Dave Ja Vu, BV Von Koch’s Multi Ch Katerina’s Land Wish Me Luck 1. Von Koch’s Multi Ch Katherina’s Land Wish Me Luck, well balanced dog, good flow of neck into very well laid back shoulder, strong hindquarters with good tail set, still moving freely. 2. Ruckova’s Michael Michi Adia Avi, similar construction to 1 but heavier in skull, strong neck, good lay of shoulder, short back giving super profile, moved freely. 3. Moore’s Jokyl True Grit At Arngask 1. Pickering’s Jolliver Dave Ja Vu, stood alone but a worthy winner, mature and stylish, long head, straight front, good lay of shoulder, good depth at brisket, level back, tailset and rear angulation adequate, well presented and handled, movement gave him the edge over the bitch puppy for BP 1 Chini’s Buon Aires Black Pearl Of Kevlet, an impressive young dog with a super profile, neat head, correct ear carriage, keen expression, straight front, level back, the best hindquarters with a wonderful tailset and plenty of dog behind the tail, good bend of stifle, harsh coat trimmed to perfection, amenable temperament, I seriously considered this dog for top honours but would like just a bit more of him. 2. Knight’s, Steinke & Stokes Temtiz Buzz Lightyear At Lelaps, a mature masculine dog with a good long head, well developed body with a level top line, overall well constructed, would benefit from closer trimming, gaining in confidence which will make all the difference 1. Rozental Mashevski’s Your Majesty The Kind Of Nessland, finer type of dog with a harsh dark coat and presenting a good profile, neat head, good ear carriage, alert expression, short level back, high tailset and well bent stifles, moved with good rear drive, would benefit from closer trimming at front. 2. Fearnhead’s Settlebeck Royal Flush, masculine dog with plenty of substance, excellent long head of good proportions, keen expression, well developed body but long cast, tail set and rear angulation OK, ideal temperament, steady but alert, won through on good free movement. 3.

Brown’s Ch Jokyl Daily Special JW, there is nothing flashy or overdone about this dog, masculine and of good substance without a trace of coarseness, balanced and sound, excels in head, well constructed throughout with a perfectly level short back, best possible profile held perfectly on the move, precise and controlled parallel front movement and rear drive, best mover today, steady temperament, calm but still ready for anything, CC, BOB, shortlisted in the group. 2.
