JD (2) 1 Hayes’ Mybeards Lightning, 10 months, b/w, nice make & shape & skull shape & bite, good reach in front. Moved well but just needs to settle to give greater fluidity. Well presented. Had edge on movement in challenge for BP, should have bright future. BP; 2 Everest’s Henio de Kaillhanes avec Paddipaws, brown/w, exuberant baby, at the moment appears a shade too long in back, to correct leg ratios needs to come up. Dense jacket, needs to drop some weight, far too heavy at this stage. PGD (0).

LEEDS CH SHOW 13 – Polish Lowland Sheepdogs (Judge Hugh Jones)

The exhibitors gave me such a pleasing entry considering there was only one set of CCs on offer. The sooner this idea is quashed, the better. Quite a variation in type here, especially in size & gender. I like the males to look masculine & bitches to be feminine.

PD (3) 1 Mybeards Lord Millthorpe, very impressive young male who certainly looks his sex & has all the essentials, when matured, to take him to the top. Good head & expression, straight well boned front, enough reach of neck & level topline held on the move, well angulated rearquarters, stood correct at rear. In the challenge he did enough for me to award him BD, he also went BP; 2 Luksus Moscic at Skaijak, quality male with good expression, dark eyes, good height to length ratio, level topline not he move & had nice rear angulation. Two nice puppies; 3 Mybeards Lightning. JD (1) 1 Dobrany Dorianblue Nizinny, good head properties, straight front, enough reach of neck, well angulated rearquarters, moved out well with handler. PGD (1) 1 Dobrany Dorianbue Lukier at Roughrigg, good head & expression, straight front, enough reach of neck, good depth of rib. Rear movement needs to improve. LD (1) 1 Skaijak Riff Raff, good head & expression, nice dark eyes, well boned front, just enough reach of neck, level topline on the move, moved out well with hander. RBD. OD (3) 1 Skaijak Phanthom, good head & expression, nice reach of neck, good height to length ratio, well angulated rearquarters. Rear stance needs to improve; 2 Derochas D’aurigny, masculine dog with good head & expression, well boned straight front, just enough reach of neck, well angulated rearquarters, moved in unison with handler; 3 Millthorpe Gallant Hero for Hawthornblu. VD (0).

PB (1) 1 Mybeards Dreaming, good feminine head & Expression, straight well boned front, nice reach of neck, level topline held on the move, well handled & shown. JB (2) 1 Skaijaks Tabatha at Lynmar, pleasing head & expression, straight front, level topline held on the move. Needs a bit more control in order to get the best out of her. PGB (4) 1 Dobrany Dorianblue Lalunia at Dollypeg, good head pattern, enough reach of neck, level topline. Would have liked a little more rear angulation; 2 Skaijak’s Serendipity of Tomszill, good head & expression, straight front, enough reach of neck. Rear stance needs to improve; 3 Miss Hanka of Islip. LB (1) 1 Skaijak Roxie, pleasing head & expression, level topline. Rear movement needs to improve.

BOB, G3; 2 Ch Ponadio Jezyna, quality bitch with a good head & expression, dark eyes, correct height to length ratios, well angulated rearquarters. RBB; 3 Ir Ch Mybeards Izabella at Quinnabeth. VB (2) 1 Hawthornblu Meduska, good head & expression, still retaining her breed type & overall quality. Age has now caught up with her & she has added a few pounds in weight. Still a good example of a feminine Pon; 2 Ch Skaijak Little Mynx, feminine lady with good head & expression, correct height to length ratio, held her topline on the move. Two worthy veterans.

THREE COS CH SHOW 13 – Polish Lowland Sheepdogs (Judge Lesley Naylor)

A very worthy champion. BOB.

Dream_pastoral group 3 Paignton 2011

PB (1) 1 Mottram’s Mybeards Dreaming, well grown 7 months puppy, pretty feminine expression, correct bite, nicely balanced throughout. Needs to settle on the move to show the movement I caught a glimpse of, but only a baby so plenty of time. Stood alone but am sure she will hold her own in any company, will watch her progress with interest. BP. OB (1) 1 Biscoe’s Ch Ponadto Jezyna, just starting to mature. The sweetest of expressions, correct bite & head proportions. Not the biggest of bitches, but plenty of substance to do a day’s work. Nicely balanced throughout, good harsh jacket, moved well holding her topline, well muscled & presented. BB.
