WEST HIGHLAND WHITE JUDGE WELKS 23

PD (1)

1 Owen’s Frisbeck Horn Pipe. Handy size of youngster and overall presents a typical outlook. Pleasing head with a good dark eye and alert expression. Compact body with good depth of chest for his age. Well made hindquarters of good width. Moved well, BP.

JD (2,1)

1 Stankiene & Stankus’s Vivolunar Brando Loco. Strongly built, good size but is not overdone in anyway. Good head piece, strong jaw and well set ears. Pleasing legs and feet, clean over the neck and shoulders, short backed and nicely rounded quarters. Sound positive mover.

PGD (1)

1 Woodward’s Fernsunrise Fits The Bill. Overall a dog of pleasing make and shape. Good head, eye and expression. Well ribbed, good strength of hindquarters and correct tailset. Good double coat. On the move a little wide in front movement on the day.

LD (2)

1 Foster’s Thozow Master Of The House. Very well made dog who held his shape both stacked and on the move. Pleasing head, well set ears and the best of expressions. Very clean over the neck and shoulders, level topline and a good tailset and carriage. Moved well both fore and aft and put down in tip top order on the day, Res.CC.

2 Eason’s Andjoliam Star Is Born. Liked him for his size and strength throughout and presented a very typical appearance. Good head piece, lovely dark eye and the alertest of expressions. Well made front assembly, short backed and pleasing hindquarters. A sound positive mover.

OD (5,2)

1 Zaccariello’s Ch./It.Ch.Violent Warrior Vertragus. Outstanding dog out of the top draw who takes your attention as soon as he enters the ring. Excellent shape and balance along with that required combination of strength and activity as the standard asks for. Best of heads, dark eye and attentive expression. Strong muscular neck set in well placed shoulders. Firm body, deep chest, strong level topline and excellent width of quarters. Soundest of movers who just powers round the ring on the best of strides, CC & BOB. Pleased to see him take G2 in a very competitive Group.

2 Fryer & Holmes Hopecharm Northern Star. Not disgraced in anyway to stand second to the winner on the day. Only a relative youngster but is very well made throughout and sure there is more to come as he matures. Good head, well set ears, dark eye and best of expressions. Well made front assembly standing on good legs and feet, short backed and well developed hindquarters. Moved well.

3 Jasper’s Clavelshay Montmorency.

PB (2,1)

1 Bartley’s Atelib Enigma Code. Pleasing sort, good size with good strength and substance for her age. Excellent depth of chest short backed and well made quarters. Very sound on the move both fore and aft. Just needs to come up on her front legs to complete the picture.

JB (2,1)

1 Burns Burneze Hello Dolly. Quality young lady from this top kennel who is so well made throughout and was presented in superb coat and condition on the day. Lovely head, well balanced, typical expression and dark pigment. Scores in front assembly standing on the best of legs and feet. Level topline that she holds on the move along with an excellent tailset and carriage. Best of quarters and well let down hocks. Very sound on the move. Still more to come as she matures, Res.CC.

1 Griffith’s Ch.Holiday Romance Vixen at Karamynd ( Imp Pol ) Another I liked a lot and was close up for top honours on the day. Good size and very well balanced throughout. Typical in head, small neat ears, dark eye and a keen expression. Excellent depth of chest, well ribbed, short compact body and strong muscular hindquarters that she uses to advantage on the move. Positive mover.

LB (6,2)

1 Smith’s Lingbeck Hold The Dream. Such a sound and honest bitch. Fits the standard well and is not exaggerated in anyway. Good size, well off for bone, strength and substance but still presents a very feminine outlook. Best of heads, well placed ears and a good eye and expression. Very clean over the neck and shoulders, straight front, firm body and great strength of loin. Best of quarters, well rounded along with a pleasing bend of stifle, she was one with a ‘bum’. Sound on the move with excellent reach and drive, CC.

2 Coley’s Maxula Here Comes Summer at Kingsview. Typey sort of good size and is very well built throughout. Pleasing head, dark eye and the best of expressions. Muscular neck set in well placed shoulders. Good depth of chest, well ribbed and a pleasing topline and tailset. Strong hindquarters and well let down hocks. Moved soundly fore and aft.

3 Stankiene & Stankus’s Newvoldemont Cookie at Vivolunar.

OB (3,2)

1 Edmondson’s Ch.Highcross Prosecco at Pepabby. Stood alone but a very worthy winner and could appreciate her many virtues that has taken her to her title. Well balanced throughout and another who has excellent strength combined with an active appearance as the standard asks for. Pleasing head and eye. Best of fronts, deep chest, strong firm body and a good tailset and carriage. Soundest of movers both fore and aft.
