Many thanks to Rebecca Moores (Sachemic) for her critique for SWECA's Open show on Monday 31st August 2026 Rebecca Moores (Sachemic) - South West Essex Canine Association (Open Show) Monday 31st August. I just wanted to thank the committee for giving me this appointment and my wonderful stewards. The show was so well run and I got to go over some really beautiful dogs. Thank you to all those who entered and attended. Miniature Poodle Puppy (No Entries) Special Yearling (4/1a) 1. Miss R Pease - Ubora's Killer Queen | Silver bitch with a clean backskull, well-chiselled head, good chin and correct bite, finished with a soft expression. Lovely long neck flowing into a well-laid shoulder and one of the best fronts I have felt on a Miniature. Feet were good, with excellent rear angulation. Really wonderful carriage, with a fabulous tail set and carriage. Presented beautifully. BOB. 2. Miss R Pease & Miss F Whenman - Ubora's Don't Stop Me Now | Larger dog with a lovely head and good chin. Nice length of neck leading into a really well-made front. Slightly longer cast, with a great tail set and carriage. Carried his head beautifully and moved very well. Limit (1/1a) 1. Miss R Pease - Ubora's The Warrior's Dance | Cheeky boy, beautifully presented in a German trim which really showed off his attributes, especially his lovely long ear leathers. Good head with a nice chin and good neck. Another with one of the best fronts I've felt on a Miniature. Slightly longer cast than my BOB, with beautiful feet and fabulous head and tail carriage. Such a happy attitude, he made me smile the entire time I had my eyes on him. RBOB. Open (No Entries) Standard Poodle Puppy (3/1a) This class had two beautiful, exuberant puppies, and I loved the qualities in each. 1. Mrs A Kumar - Jasenak Red Carpet Girl at Viadua | I really loved this girl. She has such a solid topline with plenty of substance, a wonderfully made and correct straight front with beautiful, well-knuckled feet. Refined head with lovely chiselling coming through, a good chin and the most melting expression. Good spring of rib, great rear angulation and a perfectly set and carried tail. Presented beautifully. She was very excited and spent a fair amount of time without all four feet on the floor, but she's uber stylish and once she settled she showed fantastic carriage with so much reach and drive. I'll follow her with interest. BOB & BP, Puppy Group 2. 2. Miss A & M Shoosmith - Alisiane Popular | Another beautiful puppy with so much potential. Wonderful head with a soft expression, lovely eye and clean backskull, with that chiselling coming through nicely. Lovely long neck flowing into a well-laid shoulder, with a really great spring of rib. Short in body with a well-set and carried tail and nicely knuckled feet. Once she settled, she moved very soundly with plenty of reach and drive. Beautifully presented. RBOB. Special Yearling (3/1a) 1. Miss R Hukin - Renkiss of the Spiderwoman | Black bitch with great coat texture, lovely long neck into a well-laid shoulder and short in body. Well-balanced front and rear angulation, great feet and excellent tail set and carriage. I've judged this girl before and her head carriage has improved so much since then. You're doing an excellent job with her. 2. Miss P Kernick - Hope Dreams Come True | Apricot bitch with a lovely even colour and good spring of rib. Good length of neck and a nice straight front, with well-balanced rear angulation and a well-set and carried tail. Her handler is still learning with her but doing a wonderful job, keep at it, you make a lovely team. Limit (1/1) 1. Miss T Stevenson - Tazmitch Dance in the Stars | Three-year-old bitch with a lovely head and eye and a very clean backskull. Good neck leading into a well-laid shoulder with a nice straight front and good feet. Lovely head carriage and super steady going around the ring, with good tail carriage. I think a little more tailoring to her trim would really help show off her attributes. Open (2/1a) 1. Miss T Stevenson - Tazmitch Dance in the Stars | Repeat of Limit. Toy Poodle Puppy (No Entries) Special Yearling (1/1a) Limit (1/1a) Open (No Entries)
