Devon, Cornwall & South West Beagle Society

2010 Championship Show Critique

Dogs

My sincere thanks to all exhibitors for a wonderful entry and to the Society for their invitation to judge. My principal winners came from a quartet of young dogs who all show much promise and whose progress I shall watch with interest. I found a couple of bad mouths and what a pity that just one or two exhibitors don’t bother to ensure their hounds are clean when they show them. I was pleased to agree with my co-judge on most decisions.

 MPD (5) 1. May’s Janfrey Elliot RBPD. The first of my quartet - an exuberant smart tri 8 month p who moved soundly although clearly enjoying his day out a little too much. Good head & correct soft expression. Well laid shoulders into a level t/l which was held well when he moved. Deep chest for a youngster, well ribbed & good quarters. Good bone & feet. Presented a pleasing outline when stacked. 2. Parker & Stevens Serenaker Foxtrot. A well-balanced youngster shown in tip top condition. Clean cut & compact and well balanced. Good head & expression, nice reach of neck into good shoulders. Moved well both ways with reach & drive. 3. Taylor’s Deaconfield Flutter.  

PD (8) 1. Jones & Jepson Eardley Duncan Disorderly BPD & RBPIS. The second of my quartet - this is an outstanding tri youngster clean cut, compact and beautifully balanced. Perfect head & such a typical Beagle expression. Excellent reach of neck into well laid shoulders. Level t/l held well on the move, which he accomplished with both reach & drive. Good bone & feet. Expertly shown and in superb condition and v much in the mix in the challenge.  2 Higgins Sweetwells Share the Spirit. Another well balanced p with a good head & expression. Good reach of neck, well laid shoulders. Nice outline stacked, good quarters, deep chest well ribbed. Moved well both ways. 3. Suttons Rossut Magnet.  

JD (6) (1) 1. Spavins Dialynne Che Guevara RCC & RBIS. The third of my quartet who pushed hard for top spot in the challenge - a sound well balanced masculine tri hound that strides out well with good purposeful movement maintaining a good level t/l as he does so. Perfect head & expression, neck just right, shoulders well laid, chest well developed, well ribbed. Strong quarters, good legs and feet, shown in good hard condition; presented a perfect outline when stacked. 2. Mitchells Just Jamie. A sound compact hound with many good qualities. He moves well with reach & drive. Pleasing head & expression, good reach of neck and lay of shoulder. 3 Browns Raimex Ruskin.

 YD (4) 1. Craig’s Davricard Byron. This is a strong masculine tri boy who moved well with reach & drive. He has a good head and typical expression, a good reach of neck and well-laid shoulders. Strong well defined quarters, deep chest with well sprung ribs. 2. Chapman’s Gemark Thyme Lord. A well put together lad with a good arched neck into well placed shoulders. Deep chest and ribs well sprung. Strong well muscled quarters giving him sound movement and shown in good hard condition 3. Burrows Summerlily Step Lively.

ND (7). 1. Spavins Eardley Divine David of Dialynne NAF/TAF. Promising young hound that moved well when he occasionally co-operated with his handler who he gave a hard time. He has a good head & expression, good shoulder placement and ample reach of neck. Held his t/l well on the move and presented a perfect outline when stacked and still. 2. Taylor’s Deaconfield Flutter. A pleasing young t/w boy who has a good expression and typical Beagle head. Nice neck & shoulders and a good level t/l when moving. Shown in good hard condition.  3. Kingsland’s Redcap Man at Arms

Well balanced with strong well defined quarters and a good turn of stifle. Deep chest & well sprung ribs. 2. Coates Inschwood Allegiance. A sound young man who presented a pleasing outline stacked. Good head & expression, good lay of shoulder and level t/l held well when moving. Strode out well and pushed for top spot but outmoved by my class winner today. 3. Gemark Thyme Lord.  

PGD (17) 1. Kingsland’s Semeru Gadabout to Redcap. A well constructed understated young man, nothing flashy about him but he has an excellent outline when stacked and a superb typical Beagle head. Good clean neck and shoulders, level t/l & deep chest, ribs well sprung. Strong well defined quarters which he used to drive round the ring.  2. Lewis’s Fallowfield Royal Rupert. This is another striking young lad who was perhaps not showing at his best today however he moved well with both reach & drive from strong well muscled quarters. He is clean cut and well balanced with a good neck & shoulder and a deep chest with ribs well sprung. 3. Suttons Rossut Fluster.  

LD (10) (1). Jones & Jepson Eardley Early Learner JW. A well constructed hound that showed well. A pleasing typical Beagle head & expression, he looked a picture stacked and did not disappoint on the move, which he did effortlessly from his well defined quarters. His chest is deep and his ribs well sprung. His perfect level t/l was held well on the move. Good tail set legs and feet and enough turn of stifle. 2. Burrows Shercroft Pioneer at Summerlily.

OD (12) 1. Lewis’s Am Ch Barristers Yankee Doodle Dandy at Fallowfield DCC & RBIS. This striking young 22 month old v dark tri dog was the fourth of my quartet. His movement is superb; effortless yet purposeful. He is beautifully constructed and so well balanced. His head and expression are excellent and so typical and blend into a good clean neck and well placed shoulders. The t/l is level and held on the move, his tail set & carriage perfect. Good well-defined quarters, deep chest, well sprung ribs and excellent turn of stifle. He was well handled and shown in cracking condition.  2. Kingsland’s Recap Englishman JW.

SB.1. Inschwood Allegiance. 2. Webster’s Dialynne Numero Uno. 3. Woodhouse Milliekai Dumbledore 

Vet (9) 1. Hills Ch Donnay Kappa BVIS. A wonderful old boy who I have judged as a veteran before in 2007; I revisited my critique from last time to compare my notes. Now 3 years on the same comments still apply. This sturdy, sound tri boy still moves and shows himself so well. Still wonderfully toned and in superb condition. Excellent head & expression, good shoulders and level t/l held when moving. 2. Conway’s Bedeway Artful. Another cracking veteran who hardly looks or shows his age. Moved well both ways from good well defined quarters. Perfect soft expression this happy old boy can still show to good effect.  3. Hunts Ch & Ir Ch Bondlea Fable JW.
