Windsor 19 Judge

AIREDALE WINDSOR 19 Judge: Mrs Lesley Lee BEST OF BREED : 12 MOULES Mrs R Doraemi Buffalo Soldier AIREDALE JUDGE WINDSOR 19 Windsor show is held in a beautiful setting and we were blessed with sunny weather with a slight breeze. 4th in the ring is not ideal but thankfully the BOB did not miss the Group. Thank you to my able and capable stewards and to the Windsor Committee for their hospitality. Generally movement overall could be better. With regard to tail carriage which I understand is under review, I consider tailset far more important than the natural carriage of the tail. Some tails might be more appealing than others but this should not be given too much weight when considering the whole dog. With the low entries we are now experiencing, if judges penalise tail carriage too harshly then the entries will deplete even further as there would be no incentive to show and exhibitors will take into consideration both this and the expense. 1st Purchon’s Jokyl Draw The Line: Good length of head, nicely balanced with a dark eye and well carried ears which he uses giving a good and alert expression. Good mouth. Nice reach of neck into good lay of shoulder. Straight forelegs of good bone with neat well padded paws. Well presented quality coat. Good temperament. Would prefer more rear angulation. 1st Milkovics’ Wederdena’ Stargazer: Nice head, eye and carries his ears well. Moderate length of neck into an OK lay of shoulder into topline. To finish tailset could be a bit higher. Rear angulation and movement OK. Front movement a little erratic. Closer trimming overall would enhance his good points. 1st Turner’s Crillee Maximus the Cool RDCC: Excellently presented quality jacket and expertly handled. Clean outline. Balanced head with nicely shaped eye and well carried ears giving a very good expression. Good reach of neck into good lay of shoulder. 1st Webber’s Sherif’s Red Hot Sh.CM: 7yrs of age. Super quality coat and colour. Nice head which could be finer. A little short in neck which flows into an excellent topline. Good rear angulation with plenty behind the tail. Moved well in front and rear movement OK. Good spring of rib which is lacking in some. 1st Swash’s Jokyl Star Burst BP: A star in the making. Super outline which she held for one so young. Lovely head and expression. Well carried ears which she uses. Full of confidence. Nice front, good length of neck into equally good shoulders. Excellent topline which is finished by a good tailset all leading to good rear angulation. Enjoying her experience which I like to see. 1st Webber’s Kaolin Little Miss Sparkle: Good length of head with a lovely eye and nice ear carriage giving a good expression. Nice length of neck into good lay of shoulder. Front legs well placed giving good front movement. Level topline leading into a tailset that could be a bit higher. Presentation is good as she has excellent coat/colour/texture; although more refined trimming would improve overall appearance. Well handled. 1st Edwards Vivavick Whoopee at Smock Alley: Cobby girl with nice head and ear placement. Uses her ears well giving good expression. Moderate length of neck into nice lay of shoulder and excellent topline and tailset. Good rear angulation with plenty behind the tail. Good spring of rib. Quality jacket with good colour. Not overly long giving a balanced appearance. 1st Toulson’s Toulsyork Nefarious: Cobby b with a quality coat in good condition and well presented. Balanced outline. Nice length of head with good eye and ear carriage giving good expression. Good reach of neck into nice lay of shoulder and topline, short back. Straight front and good bone. Good spring of rib. Good rear angulation and moved OK. 1st Hampton & Halls’ Muliebrity Enchanted Bay BCC. Super head and expression from lovely dark eye and bang on ear carriage. Showing with attitude enhancing her overall picture. Lovely reach of neck into good lay of shoulder. Straight front with good bone. Level topline with tail on top. Good rear angulation giving good movement. Slightly erratic in front movement but when moved on loose lead improved. Quality black and tan jacket although would prefer a bit more of it.
