BOURNEMOUTH CANINE ASSOCIATION CH. SHOW 2022

SHOW REPORT – DALMATIAN

Thank you to the society for giving me the opportunity to judge our lovely breed. Thanks too to the exhibitors for giving me the highest entry in the Utility Group.

There was a heat wave inland but at Bournemouth we were lucky enough to have a cooling breeze blowing up from the harbour. Even so, it was still warm so we had a cooling station with a paddling pool of water in the waiting area by the steward’s table.

I was looking for carriage dogs that were fit for purpose. Elegant, lean, well-muscled without being over-done. A balanced dog capable of covering the ground with an easy, powerful movement that would enable them to trot all day.

I was very pleased with my main winners. They did the breed proud in the Groups and in the Veteran Stakes.

1 Whincup’s TAMILANDA INSTANT ENVY. Boldly decorated young black immediately caught the eye, just 6 months, beautiful head and ear carriage, nice topline and tail set, good angulation front and rear, deep chest with brisket to elbows, ribbed well back, still a little roly-poly with puppy fat as expected at his age but he will firm up, true on the move. Lovely to watch.

PGD (2,1)
1 Blissett’s KYSTUNO WARNERS KING.

A well-deserved 1st

LD (6,2)
1 Townson & Pardoe’s KAYTONI OH WHAT A NIGHT WITH DAYMADALS. Attractive boy, almost 4, his bold black spotting on an immaculate white coat immediately drew the eye, very good shape to skull, strong muzzle, a head with markings that looked beautiful enough to have been hand painted, darkest of eyes, strong neck set on good shoulders, nice depth of chest with ribs carried well back, moderate angulation front and rear, tight well-manicured feet, nothing overdone, he was an accomplished showman who’s handler knew how to move him at just the right pace to bring out the best in him.

A dog built this well should move well and he did not disappoint.

2 Whincup’s TAMILANDA INSTANT STAR. Another cracking puppy. At only 6 ½ months she was less developed than 1st, but with excellent head, darkest of eyes framed by beautifully lacey ears, nice neck to good shoulders, a little longer in body than 1st but with good topline and tailset, good depth to chest with ribs carried well back, moderate angulation fore and aft, already a good second thigh, a spot on her tail was the finishing touch. Well handled, she moved well for such a youngster. Given time she will firm-up to be a stunning bitch. Definitely one to watch.
3 Stocks’s, NOSPAR'S GIN AND TONIC

PB (10,3)
1 Whincup’s TAMILANDA INSTANT STAR. As MPB
2 Richards & Davies, HAFWENNA BLACKBIRD. An 11 month old with lots to like, attractive markings, nice topline and tailset, good rear angulation, excellent tight feet all round, however, when she gets close and looks up to the handler’s face she can spoil her topline and set of shoulder, still a puppy she has time to learn the finer points. Moved well.
3 Richards’s HAFWENNA HEY JUDE

JB (6,1)
1 Scott-Allen & Davis’s, DALLYDYL CODE BREAKER. Quality liver bitch of excellent construction, 18 months old, spotting had just the right shade of pigmentation on spotless white coat, excellent head with super facial markings, correct amber eyes framed by well broken ears, her intelligent gaze never wavered far from her handler, fabulous topline flowing from elegant neck to correct tailset, very good angulation front and rear, good underline too with elbows to brisket and good tuck-up to strong loin. Moved very well. Much to like about this young bitch.
2 Locke-Mcfadzean’s ALPHADIRATO RISING STAR OVER SASSAFRAS (IMP EST) . A 13 month old liver of good construction, darker shade of liver and a little longer in back than 1st, good spring of rib carried well back allowing plenty of heart and lung room, good topline, moderate angulation, low hocks, completely unfazed by the hot weather she moved very well with reach, drive and enthusiasm. Well handled.
3 Chappell & Williams’s STEYNDAL STAR SAPPHIRE WITH WALTZAWAY

YB (3,1) Only two exhibits in the ring, but both of high quality.
1 Bolt’s FAKENHAM FONTANELLA. Distinctively spotted young black with fabulous ears, nice head with good skull shape, dark intelligent eyes, those beautifully marked ears were well set on, good neck flowing to well-muscled and well-angulated shoulders, good width and depth of chest, excellent rear angulation and low locks, in fit condition she moved very well indeed, at one with handler.
2 Richards & Davies’s HAFWENNA ALL THAT JAZZ. Another black with fabulously marked ears, at 22 months old she was presented in excellent condition, pleasing expression in dark eyes framed by those beautifully spotted ears, well defined withers, good topline and tailset, nicely waisted with good tuck-up, strongly muscled rear quarters. I found it a little odd that the handler should stand the bitch the opposite way to the rest, facing into the sun and down the slope of the ring. Moved true.

2 Whiting’s TYRODAL ANGELS ASSIGNMENT. A three year old liver in hard condition, shorter coupled than 1st, lovely spotty ears, correct eye colour, strong forequarters, straight round bone to tight feet, good depth to chest, great tuck-up.

3 Steventon’s KYSTUNO JASAPPEL

LB (11,4) Lovely class of quality exhibits.
1 Hopkin’s DVOJICA EVANGELISTA JW. Loved this quality black, a nearly 2 year old bitch of substance, bold spotting on a compact and well-made body, excellent head, good ear-set, well defined withers, lovely topline and tailset, slight spring of front pastern and low hocks complimented her super angulation front and rear, plenty of width to the deep chest, good underline with nice tuck-up, she moved very well. Nothing to dislike about this balanced girl. Strong contender for CC, but had to settle for RCC today. Her time will come.
2 Howard – Riddle’s SHYDALLY STAR ATTRACTION. An elegant girl with sweet expression in feminine face framed by lovely lacey ears used to good effect, nearly 3 years old she is a little longer coupled than 1st, good angulation and tight feet, her decorations are evenly distributed with deep black pigmentation and spots of ideal size, excellent on the move but tail a little down in the stand today. Pushed 1st hard overall. Well handled.
3 Patrick’s COHAVRICK SYMPHONY

OB (6,1) The best class of the day.
1 White’s SOPHTSPOT LA DE DA AT BELSMARD SHCEX. Stunning 2 ½ year old presented in pristine condition, lightly decorated with dollar sized spots of the deepest black on a brilliant white coat, very well-muscled without being overdone, hands-on confirmed that she was supremely toned without an ounce of surplus fat, built for endurance and ready for work, well angulated fore and aft, lithe coupling, she powered round the ring with reach, drive and an assured elegance. Her handler showed this girl’s qualities off to perfection. She came here to win and that win could not be denied. Very pleased to award her the BCC. I’m sure that there will be more top placings to come.
2 Richardson’s CH MAPPLEWELL LIMITED EDITION. Another outstanding black presented in fabulous condition, 3 years old, I loved her bold spotting and super construction, lovely topline and tailset, excellent angulation, beautiful underline flowing from deep brisket to excellent tuck-up and strong loin, superb movement out, back and in profile. She pushed 1st hard and these two could easily change places on any other day
3 Whincup’s CH TAMILANDA CONTINENTAL GOLD CW21

VB (5,3) A lovely class of elegant ladies.
1 Patrick’s SPIRAL DESDEMONA SH.CM. A 9 year old black in excellent condition, pleasing decoration, well broken ears, even a spotty tail, very feminine head, intelligent expression, nice ears well set on, graceful neck, level back to good tailset, moderate angulation, tight feet with well-groomed nails.
2 McManus’s BOSCHENDAL ASHES OF ROSES. A happy 7 year old who’s wagging tail showed she was delighted to be here, well decorated with black spotting she had the darkest of eyes in a sweet face, well-muscled forequarters with good angulation, decent movement but carrying just a tad more weight than 1st today. Well handled.
