A big thank you to our Utility Judge Sue Worrell for judging and providing the comprehensive critiques below for the SWECA Open Show 26th August 2024. Thank you to the Officers and Committee of the canine association for inviting me to judge, I was made to feel most welcome on what was a very hot and humid day. All the dogs took the heat in their stride, so thank you to all the exhibitors who bought their dogs under me. Thanks must also go to my very efficient ring steward Linda Quin for keeping me in line, and a special thank you to the show manager Elesha Palser for keeping the rings and judging moving so well on what I believe was her first show. AVNSC Utility P (1,0) 1st Mr & Mrs Nicholls’ Izlou Muffin Compares for Shyllar, a black German Spitz (Mittel) a few days shy of her first birthday. She has a pretty feminine expression, small erect high set ears, lovely dark round eyes and clean cheeks. She has a level topline, developing spring of rib, neat feet and a well placed tail. Very exuberant so a tad hard to assess movement, she was active and alert at all times. I was happy to award her BP and later UPG3. SP (3,1) 1st Johnson’s Marnimica Seven Wonders. An 18 month old Miniature Schnauzer, he has a harsh P & S jacket, and a full beard giving him a strong masculine expression. His head is of good proportions, he has a sturdy frame, pleasing length of neck and a well placed tail. Front movement needs tightening up, but his well muscled rear gave him drive. 2nd Brown’s Fecimus Black Bear, a 15 month old German Spitz (Klein) with a profuse seal coat and lovely black pigment. With a foxy expression on his well proportioned head, neat well placed ears, neck of good length with frill over the shoulders and a square compact outline, he presented a lovely profile, however he was very active and bouncy and unfortunately I could not assess his movement today. PG (2,0) 1st Buckles’ Karshok Amra Jetsang, a 23 month old Tibetan Terrier with a profuse tri colour coat, very well presented and in excellent condition. He has a balanced square outline, a strong neck, head in proportion to body with a strong muzzle and good dentition. His head is well furnished and he has large dark eyes, giving off an alert and intelligent expression. He is well muscled and compact, with a level topline, well bent stifles and large feet. His movement was free flowing with good reach, and he was very well handled, it was a pleasure to award him BOB. 2nd Brown’s Smilga Visada Kartu (Naf Taf) German Spitz (Klein) a one year old orange sable bitch, profuse in coat and well presented. She has a delightful feminine expression, dark eyes and pigment, small well set ears and correct length of muzzle. Nicely balanced in profile, with a straight front, level topline and correct tailset, she moved with confidence and was very attentive to her handler. Unlucky to come up against 1st place today, I was pleased to call her back in and award her RBOB in the challenge. O (5,1) Armstrong’s Rigaze Dalai Gartok at Tizzycharm, Tibetan Terrier. 4 year old sable and white dog in lovely condition and very well handled. He has a sturdy frame, straight front and level topline. His well proportioned head sits on a strong neck which leads down to well placed shoulders.

BOB, BP, UG4 & UPG1 G (2,1) 1st Mr & Mrs Nicholls’ Ruthdale Perfection Through Shyllar (Imp ROM) JW, a red and white bitch approaching 2 years old, she has a smaller frame than the other exhibits today, however everything is balanced and in proportion.

His short muscular neck, good depth and width to chest, and strong well developed thighs adds up to a large powerful profile. Unfortunately he tended to pace when moving today. 2nd Kendall’s Not Fancy Pease Dont Touch TAF, a 4 year old black and white bitch, shorter cast than 1st, she has good length of muzzle, dark almond eyes and well placed ears. Good depth of chest, a level topline and high set tail. Her elbows could be tighter, and this showed in her movement.
