DOGS
I felt very privileged to be asked to judge at this
special show, and was so pleased that it was eventually able to go
ahead. Well done Steve, Julie and all the committee for a wonderful
day. The venue was superb for current times, so much space for everyone, the
sun came out, and everyone enjoyed a toast and piece of a superbly made and
unbelievably decorated and very tasty celebration cake, made
by Janey Sutherland. Thank you all very much.
Also a big thank you to everybody for bringing your
lovely Welsh boys to see me, they were all delightful and you always take the
best dog/dogs home. I was delighted with the entry and no
absentees. Special thanks must also go to my 2 stewards, Chris &
Pam, you were both brilliant at keeping everything running
smoothly. Well done.
Most of the older dogs appeared happy to be back in
the ring & seemed unconcerned about the strange masked faces about them,
and only a couple of the youngsters were a little worried to begin with, which
shows really good temperament in all. I was delighted to see almost all the
dogs had a good spring of rib, no slab sides, which is a great improvement.
I was slightly disturbed though by the lack
of forechest (pro-sternum) in many of the young stock which I think
breeders should pay heed to. I worked my Welsh on very tough terrain
and know just how important correct conformation is. I appreciate
that there is no mention of ‘forechest’ or ‘pro-sternum’ in our breed standard,
but lack of it affects heart and lung room as well as front angulations.
Barbara Atwood, bitch judge, and I agreed on all
the final results.
Minor Puppy (0)
Puppy (1)
1st Clarke’s - TIGERROCK MAGIC
ROUNDABOUT naf BDP
Lovely head with a good square muzzle and a kind
eye, superb bone and very neat feet, moved well holding a good
topline. Just needs to gain a bit more confidence, but only 10
months old so I am sure it will come. Unfortunate to be the only
babe in the first class of the day which probably didn’t help either. He did
gain more confidence as the day went on, but lost out to the extrovert bitch
puppy, whose tail didn’t stop wagging, for BPIB. I will watch his progress with
interest.
Junior (4)
1st Clarke’s - HENIVEROUS RAINBOW
BY TIGERROCK naf taf
Smart & happy lad, 14 months old, with a nice
head and eye, good topline & bone, very neat & deep pads, moved well
holding his topline and tail carriage well. Should have a promising future.
2nd Jones - TROSLEY TAMOSHANTA
Strong and happy young lad, displaying a very nice
outline and was beautifully presented. Slightly stronger head than 1 currently,
good chiselling and a very kind eye. Moved well, tail slightly high,
but forgiven as only a youngster at his first show. For me he lacked in fore
chest unfortunately.
3rd. Hankins - JULITA RAINMAKER WITH WOODELROND
Yearling (3)
1st Hills-Page - LLON CAMRI
A very well put together young chap in excellent
coat, condition and presentation. Lovely outline with super bone and neat feet,
good angulation fore and aft, excellent forechest, moved with drive,
holding a good topline. He did carry his tail a bit high, but the
set and start were correct, (I was looking at him as if he were docked). Should
have a bright future, especially so with his breeding, eg: a son of BIS!!
2nd Leach’s - ISLANZA HEY DUDE
A very smart chap of good type, good bone, enough
angulation fore and aft, hocks well let down, nice head and
eye, moved well. Needs to gain in confidence to show himself
to advantage.

Graduate (2)
1st Barkley’s - CHANANGEL MR WHODAT AT CHERRYHEATH
JW
Very nice type, all Welsh, handsome head with
correct chiselling and kind, gentle expression, plus neat ears.
Excellent bone, good feet, strong well built body, just lacking a
little in forechest for me and his movement was slightly erratic
today and his tail carried quite high. I think he was just thoroughly enjoying
himself actually !!
2nd Morphy’s - CAERGRAWNT TULIP PAINTER
WITH ECHOPHY
Happy, confident lad with a lovely head and eye,
slightly too tall and lean for me.
Post Graduate (5)
1st Gough’s - JULITA RUKESTER
A good old fashioned, workman like boy. Classic
welsh head, eye and expression, enough bone, correct angulation fore and aft,
moved very well around the ring on good feet. A lot to like about him, he was
another carrying his tail proud today, but good set. Lacked
in forechest for me.
2nd Wren’s - LLON DERWEN DAR AT GWYNMARREN
Another very handsome, strongly made boy. Excelling
in bone and good feet, strong wide thighs with correct angulation, short hocks.
Moved well.
3rd Wright’s - TAIHANG HAWTHORN
Mid Limit (9)
1st Bennett’s - HELGEN ROMEO THE LOVER
Very good type and colour, shown well in good
bloom and presentation. Very nice head, masculine without coarseness, neat low
set ears, gentle eye and expression, good straight front with enough bone,
correct angulation both ends, neat feet. A lot to like about him. Moved well
2nd Harrison’s - GLENBROWS REVOLUTION
Very strong, eye catching, smart young boy who
powered around the ring. A bit rangy with too much neck for me, but
at his age, 2 years, he is still maturing and coming together.
3rd Gough’s - JULITA RUKESTER
Limit (9)
A very strong class, some difficult decisions
1st Wren’s - LLON LEWYS AT GWYNMARRON
Won this strong class on his movement. Very well
put together boy and really nice presentation and handling. Presents
a good outline with the exception of not having a rise over the loin. Strong
straight bne, neat feet, correct forechest, good angulation front and
back, lovely head and eye. At just over 3 years and all things being
equal I think he should have a very promising future.
2nd McIlwaine & Reynolds - GLENBROWS
VAN GOGH FOR BENOVEOR JW
In profile powering around the ring he looked
magnificent and I thought he was my winner, so a very close decision
indeed. Really good topline and tail carriage, strong straight bone,
neat feet, good head and eye. Pipped to the post by the more positive going and
coming movement of 1.
3rd Blackford’s - AMBLELIGHT GALATEA
Open (8)
Another quality class
1st Sutherland’s - JACKRANELLA SOLO
A super dog, good size and colour, created a
really good outline and moved so purposefully. Beautifully presented and so
well handled. Lovely head, eye & ear, correct angulation front
and rear and excellent forechest, good straight bone and the best of feet.
2nd Williams - ISFRYN SPOT THE DIFFERENCE TREBETTYN
A slightly larger and stronger built boy than 1,
but very well made. Powered around the ring holding his topline and tail
carriage well. Strong straight bone, good angulation, neat feet.
3rd Worth’s - SARABANDE LORD OF THE DANCE (AI) JW
Champion (2)
2 very worthy champions
1st Oliver’s - SH CH GLENBROWS ROYAL DRAGON
This boy made my heart melt, I wouldn’t change a
thing about him, he screams Welsh in every way - Strong, Merry &
Active. Powered around the ring demanding to be noticed with his
wonderful profile and superb temperament, in gleaming coat of a
good colour. Can’t fault him, wish he was mine!! The profile
flow from the top of his very handsome head to the tip of his tail is simply
wonderful, he was shown so well. CC
& BIS
2nd Clarke’s - SH CH FERNDEL HIGH FIDELITY WITH
TIGERROCK ShCEx
Another very well made boy, unlucky to meet 1 in
such good form. Lovely head & eye, neat ears, good straight well
boned front legs, enough width and bend of thigh, very neat feet, correct
topline with a gentle rise over his loin and good forechest. RCC
Veteran (6)
A wonderful class of gorgeous older gentlemen
1st Barkley’s - SH Ch CHERRYHEATH’S MR
MISCHIEF JW ShCM
Another very worthy Sh Ch now
rapidly approaching 10 years. Although his once beautiful red coat
has gone quite white, he certainly hasn’t lost any of his great conformation
qualities and can still show the young kids on the block how to
move. Super topline with correct rise over loin,
good forechest and quarters, tight neat feet, good tail carriage and
set. BVIS
2nd Stone’s - STEDIGAN ALL IN GOOD TIME FOR MERREM
A younger chap at 7.5 years looking very fit and
has now developed into a very nice type of Welsh. Good size
and colour, excellent bone and neat feet. Nice head, eye and
expression, strong neck, good shoulders, moved well.
