Full Critique for Driffield 2018
Judge : Mr Ernie Paterson
This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
| A rather disappointing entry both in terms of numbers and type, there is little uniformity in the breed at the moment particularly in terms of body and heads. Judging is a real challenge with too many compromises having to be made. |
| Minor Puppy Dog | ||
| 1st | Tameron Mr Classic Black | Very stylish and scored in outline and head properties, very typical of type consistently produced by this kennel. Good for bone and feet, dark eyes and steady mover. |
| 2nd | Essvana Midnight Express | Liked the neck and shoulder on this one, needs more time to come together, which is to be expected at this age, but showing a lot of promise. |
| Puppy Dog | ||
| 1st | Quingshui The Legacy Begins | Masculine head, good mouth and eyes, scored in bone and neck, well laid shoulders, balanced outline with firm topline and strong quarters, moved very soundly when settled. Hope he has done his growing. |
| Junior Dog | ||
| 1st | Chaela Ralphish | Plenty of strength in head here, good eyes and pigment, balanced body, firm topline and quarters, made good use of himself on the move. |
| 2nd | Debeaux Take Me to Tokyo | Not the head of winner but looks good in profile and when he settled proved he could move fore and aft. |
| Beginners Dog | ||
| 1st | Ch. Ashmakin Bodacious Smooth for JaxTzu JW ShCM ShCEX | Loved his head and eye, excellent expression, scores in front assembly, bang on for size, looked good when stacked and didn’t disappoint on the move, stylish on the move. I liked him a lot. RCC. |
| 2nd | Shihmali Victorious | Very good free moving male, appealed in head and eye, strong well made body used well on the move, just a little loose in topline |

| 1st | Ch. Rossvale All About The Boy | So well made, loved his head and eye, good mouth, bone and feet, excellent well laid shoulders, firm topline and strong quarters, correct tail set and very good mover here, typical and correct in most areas, flagged a little in the challenge. |
| 2nd | Daltricia Mondego JW ShCM | Another good one, fabulous pigment, scores in neck and shoulders, loved his overall balance and movement, would prefer slightly larger eyes but close up. |
| Open Dog | ||
| 1st | Ch. Cremefern Sweet Talkin Guy JW ShCM VW | Scored for balance and breed type, not overdone or exaggerated, handles so well, loved his size and body properties, good ribbing, strong, firm topline maintained on the move which was positive fore and aft. |

| Minor Puppy Bitch | ||
| 1st | Essvana Matilda | Very feminine and when she settled showed how well made she was, lovely head and eye, good pigment, nicely angulated front and rear, lovely outline when moving, should do well when she gets her act together. |
