East of England Ch. Show 2015

Dalmatians

Thank you to all exhibitors. This was a busy weekend with a club championship show the following day so I was delighted with the entry in both quantity and quality. Whilst we had an adequately sized ring with shading, the conditions underfoot were very poor with ruts and loose sand. I was very pleased that no one lost their footing.

MPD (2, 0)

1. Hopkin and Hobbs’ Rapanooey Rasputin. 7 months. Very promising young male, excellent pigmentation with clear spotting, good round bone, correct lay of shoulder and straight topline, angulations correct enabling good driving movement, longer cast so covered the ground well.
2. Christie’s Sophtspot Gold Dust, 6 months baby at his first show, confident happy temperament, clear liver spotting, plenty of bone, head yet to develop, correctly constructed but still a little loose on the move. I will be interested to follow the progress of both puppies.

JD (5, 1)

1. Goff-Leggett’s Washakie Shoshone Chief. A young dog, just moved in to junior, I have admired from the ringside so was interested to lay hands on him. Masculine head with excellent pigmentation and clear spotting. Well- muscled and balanced, covered the ground well, steady driving movement. Good depth of brisket. Level topline, correct tail carriage.
2. Alexander’s Offordale Picasso. Another top quality young male. Just preferred head and more masculine overall appearance of 1. Correct angulation both fore and hindquarters, level topline, good tail carriage. Moved well.
3. Donnelly’s Tamilanda Berry Ice Lilly

GD (5, 1)

1.Cadden’s Phadante Jambalaha JW. Dark pigmentation with clear spotting, masculine head, long neck leading into lean withers and level topline. Well- muscled, correct angulation both fore and hind quarters. Drove well around the ring. Handler worked hard to get the best out of him. Well done.
2. Brett’s Stardally Prince Charming. More lightly spotted and less masculine but good overall make and shape. Lovely long neck. Excellent tail carriage. Moved steadily and well with good length of stride.
3. Donnelly’s Tamilanda Berry Ice Lilly

PGD (8, 2)

1. Gardinor’s Jamelsley Pyracantha at Dakata JW. One I have admired before, he has matured well. Masculine but with no coarseness. Excellent clear spotting, good head shape and proportions. Excellent lay of shoulder, correct angulations, well- muscled, covered the ground with ease.
2. Tingey’s Dallyador Aramis. Moved with great driving action and long stride. Clear liver spotting. Good head proportions, ears carried well and beautifully spotted. Elegant neck, good topline and tail carried well both standing and on the move.

LD (9, 4)

1.McCarthy’s Domdallino Je Suis Kilndandy JW. Best topline and lay of shoulders in this class. Clear liver spotting. Correct head proportions with good sized ears, nicely spotted. Well- muscled with correct angulation both front and rear. Moved with purpose. Slightly proud of his tail today.
2. Kembrey’s Dalmark the Pinot Grigio. Slightly shorter coupled than 1 but moved with drive on well-muscled hind quarters. Some wrinkling over withers. Excellent clear spotting and pigmentation.
3. Lamb’s Dalpetro Decaprio

OD (9, 1) Three outstanding males that were difficult to separate and who will change places on another day.

1. Dunnachie’s Ch Dvojica Vendetta DCC. A real stallion dog, masculine but with no coarseness. Correct head proportions, lovely expression, clear black spotting. Well- muscled, correct angulations. Handler sometimes pushes his head back which causes wrinkling over withers but when he stands naturally withers are clean with level topline and correct tailset. Long driving strides, covered the ground with ease.
2. Casey’s IR CH Buffrey Pop Goes the Weasel at Moyglass Jun CH RCC. Also outstanding example of the breed. Not as mature as 1 and a little unsettled today. Moved with great freedom due to hard muscle tone and overall correct conformation. Less masculine in head but elegant. Clear black spotting. Lovely happy temperament. Handler gets the best from him.
3. Beeres’ CH Anmadeke’s All Over the World

MPB (6, 2)

¬ 1. Christie’s Sophtspot Glitterati BP. Just 6 months old at her first show but not phased at all. Lovely driving movement and well balanced for such a youngster. Straight front, good angulation. Tail set and carriage correct. Excellent clear spotting, feminine expression.
2. Whincup’s Rapanooey Miss Continental By Tamilanda. Another top quality puppy, didn’t have the drive on the move of 1 today but they could change places on a different day. Clear spotting, lovely feminine head with correct ear carriage. Good round bone, straight front. Correct proportions and balanced. Well- schooled and handled.

JB (5, 0) I ¬really enjoyed this class with the first 3 all worthy of top awards.

1. Tingey’s Dallyador The Enchantress. This young lady is really maturing and coming in to her own. Floated over the ground effortlessly today due to correct conformation and good muscle tone. Some might find her at the top end for size but she has overall balance and correct proportions. Good pigmentation and clear spotting. Great personality. Not overshown.
2. David and Saunders’ Dalticino Interlagos from Dallyadyl. A new find for me. Lovely make and shape on this liver bitch. Long elegant neck. Moved so soundly covering the ground well. Correct angulations, good lay of shoulder and in very fit condition.
