What a wonderful show to judge at. Thank you to the Club and it’s members for this kind invitation and hospitality, the exhibitors for their entries and the exhibits for putting on a polished performance. The personalised judges badge didn’t go unnoticed too – what a lovely touch and keepsake. Thank you to the lovely stewards for being so helpful too.

Puppy Dog
1st Porgeloci Zero (Imp HUN) – typical immature puppy coat on this white happy youngster who certainly made his presence known in the ring with his outgoing character. Square in outline with correct topline and tailset. Dark pigment and scissor bite. Although his chest needs to develop he has well laid shoulders and decent front assembly. Once he concentrated, he moved around the ring with positive movement.

Post Grad Dog & Limit Dog
1st Montydom Gorgous George – 5yo lad with a lovely white coat. Head of good proportions, scissor bite and dark pigment. Medium neck. Level topline, decent ribs and tight elbows. Well muscled rear. Moved OK but would have liked to have seen him a little more animated, I expect he would benefit from an outdoor ring.

Open Dog
1st Ch Kashebluli There We Are Then JW ShCEx OSW – masculine immaculately presented lad with square outline, spot on head proportions and lovely dark eye, nose, mouth and lip pigment. Correct bone, substance and so fit and well-muscled. Correctly angulated front and rear which really shows off that quick movement. His outgoing, cheeky and charming disposition in the ring teamed with his movement and coat made him by overall winner on the day. Best In Show

Veteran Dog – this was such a wonderful class of dogs to judge! Such tough decisions between four super examples of the breed.
1st Ch Catsun Comanche Legacy ShCEx VW – 9 yo but showing no sign of age from his fabulous immaculately presented black coat to his super fit, toned body condition. Correct head proportions, dark pigment throughout and scissor bite. Correct angulation front and rear, tight elbows, super topline and correct tailset. On the move he shines – he just needs to remember to concentrate to really show off his typical movement. Res Best Dog, Best Veteran in Show and Res Best in Show
2nd Ch Black’n Blue’s Name Of The Game Silkata (Imp DNK) – another super veteran of 12 years. Super coat of good quality and quantity. Another with a balanced head and dark pigment. Correctly angulated front and rear allowing for that quick, lively movement.

Special Non Black Open Dog
1st Montydom Gorgous George – as Post Grad/Limit
2nd Silkata Howay Hugo with Gandaki – much to like about this masculine male. Square profile and correctly angulated front and rear allowing for super movement in the ring. Well-presented and fit. Just preferred the head on the winner.

Puppy Bitch
1st Szentmihalyi-Szabo Saci (TAF) – oh she is a little poppet! She is a smashing 8mo puppy. Feminine throughout and covered in a white puppy coat. Square profile with correct bone, topline and tailset. Super rear angulation and she really moved so well for one so young. She was a tad hesitant on the table but nothing of concern and her happy disposition on the floor and in the ring was evident. Best Puppy In Show.

Yearling Bitch
1st Tyngeli Make A Wish for Gemeau super 20mo feminine black girl who is square in profile with a beautifully balanced head of spot on proportions which is so attractive. Dark pigment with scissor bite. Super front and rear angulation with correct topline and tailset. Moved true in all directions and a joy to watch. Res Best Bitch.

Post Grad Bitch
1st Montydom Back To The Future for Weetoneon – another feminine black girl who’s coat isn’t yet at full maturity. Nice head, correct bite and dark pigment. Square outline, level topline with required loin. Good rear angulation with low set hocks.

Limit Bitch
1st Catsun Pop My Cork – a contender for the top honours as she is a super girl. Square in outline with correct bone. Super expression and dark pigment. Correct angulation front and rear and sound on the move in all directions with the correct quick lively movement. Really appealed to me, quality girl.
2nd Montydom Back To The Future for Weetoneon – see PGB

Veteran Bitch
1st Ch Callendu Diamonds’n Pearls – Super veteran again showing little sign of being in this age class. Nice head leading to a medium neck and good front assembly. Firm topline both stood and on the move. Good angles front and rear. Moved soundly in all directions. Presented in a tip top condition. Best Bitch and Best Opposite Sex In Show.
2nd Silkata Sosumi –She is as fit as a fiddle and easily showcases that desired lively movement. She is well constructed with correct angulation front and rear, firm topline, and correct loin. A pocket rocket showing no sign of her years.

Post Graduate Dog (1)
1ST Mournebrake Fifty Shades TAF (Miss H L Thomas)
Strong, masculine fako coloured dog. Well up on legs and square in his proportions. Strong skull, little stop. I would not want any longer muzzle. Moderate neck, Moderate, balanced angulation both ends. Firm topline. Well set and carried tail. Excellent colour. We had to give him a few tries to get him out of his pace, but when he got there, he moved quite well.

Limit Dog (1)
1ST Mournebrake Also An Angel (Mr M & Mrs C Hudson)
A big, strong, masculine dog. He is well up on legs and slightly longer than square. Strong head, pleasing stop. Again I would not want a longer muzzle. Good neck into shoulders. Well angulated in front, but could do with more angulation in stifle and hock. Well developed in his body. Firm topline. Good tailset. He moved parallel coming and going , soundly from the side.

Open Dog (3)
1ST Ch Ludas Matyi Aladar (Imp Hun) (Miss A Mills)

Less developed, but of similar shape and proportions. Another with a rather long muzzle. Well set neck into a short, firm topline. Square in her proportions. Good tailset.

I wish to express my sincere thanks to the Officials and Committee of Darlington Championship Dog Show where I had the absolute privilege to award my first set of Challenge Certificates, thank you to my two stewards Ron & Mark you both were great and helped create a relaxed atmosphere and thank you to the Exhibitors. Not a huge entry but I did have some lovely quality Puli’s to judge who were all presented with clean coats and good temperaments, however I did have a couple of exhibits with quite dirty teeth, it really is so important for gum/mouth health to ensure your Puli’s teeth are clean.

VD (1) – 1. Cowley Ch Callendu Despicable Me at Kashbeluli Sh.cm, ShCEX, VW 12 yr old Black and my notes simply read WOW.. have judged him in the past and today I must say today is the best I have ever seen him move he absolutely took my breath away. He has a lovely correctly proportioned masculine head, nice eye and correct bite and pigment, he is so well balanced front to rear with particularly pleasing well laid shoulder leading into a correctly angulated upper arm, good deep rib cage, short loin. He is well muscled on the rear with well bent stifles and nice low hocks. Coat well clean and well presented. This boy really flew the flag for Veterans today was taking no prisoners and in the challenge I could not deny him DCC,BV & BOB, he is a credit to his Breeders & Owners.
