CKCS Champ Show 2003 - Full Report

Dogs - Judge: Mrs L Jupp

It was a great honour to judge the Club Show. My grateful thanks to my super efficient stewards.
I was very disappointed with the quality of dogs in the early classes. There was also a great variance in head type throughout. Toplines and hind movement left a lot to be desired. Several dogs had the conformation to move well but failed to do so. This can surely only be lack of exercise. In several instances this was most disappointing.

3 - Lewis' Daraste Reflection of Love

Open (11, 0)
1 - Hughes' Ch Loranka's Celebration
Well known dog and deservedly so. Not a dog that could be overlooked in any company. He has quality and style in abundance. In a difficult decision I awarded him the Res CC. On the day I preferred the topline and tail carriage of the winner, but this in no way distracts from an outstanding dog.
2 - Koster's Harana Sinatra
A ruby of real quality and substance, excelled in head, well muscled body and has great style. Well set neck and shoulders and good outline. No doubt he will get his crown, but on the day not moving as freely as the above.
3 - Whitfield's Ch Royal Influence of Charterwood

Bitches - Judge: Mr B Claydon

I thoroughly enjoyed judging such a wonderful entry, my thanks to Pam Graver and Ray Wilkinson my stewards for the day who kept proceedings running smoothly enabling me to finish judging at a reasonable hour. The atmosphere at this show is always special and this year was no exception due in part to the hard working committee, but also to the ringside for the generous way they applauded the exhibits and the sporting way they accepted my decisions. Inevitably in an entry of this size many beautiful exhibits went out cardless. Off coloured noses were in abundance and many bitches were out off coat.
