Dogs – Wayne Jackson (Jackabyte)

When the invitation came to Judge this show I was very pleased to accept – a long established club with the breed and its members at heart; thank you. It was such a well organised show, with a warm welcome on arrival and excellent stewards – my thanks are extended to both for their smooth running of the dog ring. The quality of dog exhibits I found to be very good overall with just minor things which do need addressing I guess, like dirty teeth and coats in a few. A few lacked in bone and overall build, some had poor toplines but overall these were in the minority. I found the odd misplaced tooth and tighter canine but not inverted, so in the main mouths were good. My decisions on the day and the sportsmanship shown was as always, brilliant. Thank you to everyone who entered.

MPD (5)

1. Boulton & Hayton’s DUSKLIGHT WHITE HEAT Predominantly white with red patches. Lovely youngster who is very appealing. He has a very nice overall balance and outline with a skull of good proportion, having a decent length of muzzle to balance. He has a defined stop, dark well placed eyes and neat ears which he used well. Lovely well boned straight front. Compact in body with good rib and level topline. Lovely rear showing a good bend of stifle. He has clean lines throughout without any exaggeration. He moved with confidence and shows a lot of promise.                                               2. Yates & Ibsen’s KEEPASTAFF LET’S LOAD IT AT ZAKDAN (Imp Dnk). Bang on just 6 months old b/br who pushed the 1st place every bit. He has a strong skull which is clean and defined. Well placed dark eyes with a piercing, pleasing expression. Correct bite. Ample bone with straight front and well padded feet. Correct depth to his brisket. Lovely level topline and amply built hindquarters with good bend of stifle. Correct tailset and carriage. Full of breed type. He was eager to please his handler and moved out with jaunty, positive movement. A lovely youngster who shows much promise. 3. Gutierrez Gonzalez & Hirst’s DUSKLIGHT SMALL TOWN BOY AT MASKALON.                                                                                                                           R. Lewis & Wilkinson’s KARJAYDAN DEAD RINGER.VHC  Mr K & Mrs J Griffin's JAZZOSTAFFS SUPER MOON.                                                                  

PD (9,1)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         1. Bassford-Lane’s JOJALANE I DRINK WINE. Red with white. I really liked this young dog. He is not overdone in any way and offers everything in balanced proportions. He is put down in really good condition, something I always look for. He has a balanced head with dark well placed eyes which gave me a pleasing look, his darker mask enhanced his facial expression. He has a certain glint in his eye which I know so well, loved it! He has a correct bite with good sized teeth. Straight front with enough bone. Good width to his front and a brisket which easily filled my hand and had correct depth. He had a level topline which he also held whilst moving, which was positive and driving once settled. His body is of good proportion being close-coupled leading to his rear which had good muscular shape and tone with a good bend of stifle. I liked his overall style and he fits the bill for his age – not being overdone in any area. A young dog who I am sure will go on to do very well. I was very happy to award him Best Puppy Dog and he later went Best Puppy In Show.                                                                                                                                                                                                          2.

Wide, firm rear with a good bend of stifle. He is a really nice dog who could actually go on to do very well indeed. Preferred the ring presence of 1st place.                                                                                                                            3.

Jennings’ ELITEBULL VALENTINE JW. White/red patches. What a clean, balanced young dog this is. His head is of good size and proportion, with a defined stop and a clean, well proportioned muzzle. He has a pleasing expression from his well placed dark round eyes accompanied by neat ears that enhanced his lovely expression. He has strength of underjaw with correct bite and clean tight lips. No excess flesh or exaggeration. Straight well boned front with good feet and up on his pasterns. He has good shapely rib for his frame and correct depth to his brisket. Well placed shoulders. His profile is pleasing with a level topline, nice flow to tucked up light loins which were close coupled to his shapely rear quarters, having adequate muscle without exaggeration. Good bend of stifle and let down of hock. He moved soundly with ease, working in harmony with his handler who gets the best out of him. He’s a dog who you look back at again and again and he pushed for top awards.                                                                                     2.

Lloyd’s KALOSTAFF ES LO QUE ES JW. A b/br dog who is easy to appreciate, with numerous attributes. A dog I have often liked from ringside and he definitely did not disappoint on examination. Balanced and has plenty of breed type. Nothing exaggerated but has strength of head with ample width and depth of skull. Lovely well placed round eyes with neat ears which he did use well, and this gave me a pleasing expression. Clean shoulders with a straight front with ample bone and up on his pasterns. He had good width to his chest and correct depth of brisket. Nice tuck up to his loin. He has a muscular rear with good coverage which showed in his positive movement.

Marsden’s JAYNEZE DOCTOR JIMMY AT MODLIFE. Now this dog from ringside always had my interest but I sometimes wondered if he was quite enough for me. Well, I can honestly say when he stood in front of me he immediately got my attention; his profile and balance was evident and hands on him confirmed what I had always assumed, that he was hard to touch with excellent muscle coverage and definition. His head is clean and balanced with such a pleasing expression from nice dark round eyes placed well. He has an alert glint in his eye giving him the edge. Great cheek muscles added to his head shape. Straight in front with good bone and up on his pasterns on neat feet. Width of chest and depth to his brisket correct. In profile his outline was clean, unexaggerated, defined and balanced. Good topline and bend of stifle. Rear was padded with muscle showing a good level of definition. His conditioning showed in his profile and his gleaming coat enhanced his brindle colour. Handler worked with him to get good movement, driven and positive. I was pleased to award him the Reserve Dog CC.                                                                                           2. Moorcroft’s ELLCHANSHA CHARM THE DEVIL AT MOORSTAR JW.

I could easily just say “what can I write about this dog that hasn’t already been said” but I’m not going to do that – I want to write what I myself saw. Yes he is indeed a very worthy champion and what a dog he is. I remember someone who was well known, knowledgeable and respected in our breed said – when you look at a male dog he should look like a stallion example, no ifs no buts, just all male. This is exactly what he is – a stallion with strength and a touch of class to boot. Strong head with great width and depth of skull with neat rose ears and an alert attentive expression. Ample width of chest with good forechest and straight front with sturdy bone. Correct depth of brisket with great spring of rib. He has a level topline and is tucked up into strong loins which were light and muscular into a rear which is firm and shapely with powerful width to drive him along with flowing movement. He is a dog you just can’t ignore. He has the breed standard stamped through him – there is no perfect dog we know that, but on this day he did it for me! Pleased to award him my Dog CC and he later went on to take Best In Show, on referee David Levy’s decision.                                                                                                                                                                      2. Wilson’s CH NORTHSTAFF NIGHTMARE JW. A b/br dog who gives you everything on examination. Standard sized, compact in body and coupling. He has good width and depth of skull with a balanced proportionate head. Really nice expression, from well placed dark eyes and neat ears. His outlines and profile were clean, neat and tidy with no exaggeration. He has a well boned straight front with tight feet. Ample width of chest and brisket falls to correct depth, with enough ribcage to suit his frame. Level topline. He is short coupled and has a defined muscular rear. Light enough in loin without looking too pinched. Didn’t put a foot wrong. Put down in great condition. Shown very well and was handled perfectly.                             3. Davies’ CH HASBURYSTAFF TOP GUN JW.                                                                                                                                                                                       R.

Lewis’ CH BIGGLESWICK SPLASH OF GINGE. 10 year old, mature red dog of quality. He just doesn’t look his age and still has a ring presence and frame to outshine some younger dogs. Strong in head but without exaggeration. He has an engaging expression from well placed dark eyes; wish he used his ears a tad more though. Ample width to his chest with straight well boned front. His brisket is correct depth and he has good rib. Still holds his level topline well when standing and on the move. His fitness and conditioning were evident and hats off to his owners for keeping him in this condition. Broad, muscular rear producing good movement. He moves freely around the ring in front of his handler giving a perfect profile view. Shown to advantage. Best Veteran Dog.                                                                                                                                                                                                 2. Rowe & South’s ILLORI AKINLANA JW ShCM VW. B/br dog, another who belies his 11 years of age, with just his distinguished white peppered muzzle hinting of his years. Super condition with a lovely profile. Not quite as strong in head as 1st but he has a balanced, proportioned head with good length of muzzle. Well boned through his straight front. Good width of chest and forechest. Correct depth to his brisket. Another who held his topline. His muscle coverage throughout was evident and firm to touch. He has an attitude to boot which commands you look at him. A veteran who thoroughly deserves his successes and went through his paces really well. A credit to his handler/owner.                                                                             3. Johnson’s ELLCHANSHA HOTSHOT.
