DALMATIAN


Thank you to all exhibitors for such a good entry of charming happy dogs, all without exception having the most wonderful temperaments. We were lucky enough to have a large enough ring to give everyone the best of opportunities to demonstrate ground covering movement. Very many thanks too to our stewards, Lynne McMillan and Deborah Kerr, with the latter also most kindly and efficiently managing to take speedy snaps of the winners, with these proving to be an extremely useful aid to my notes.

1 Millington's Gloriandus Sagaro Of Capearlla (Imp Rus) . Well proportioned l/s with beautiful head and eye with a happy friendly expression that made me smile. Deep through the heart with good feet and hard, neat pads, he scored on layback of shoulder. Very good mover, in excellent condition.

1 G Sagaro Of C
2 Gardinor's Dakata Duranta

OD
(7, 1)

1 Page's Winflash Hugo Boss. So well balanced with lovely head and a beautiful expression in his well shaped dark eyes. Super for size, type, make and shape with well angulated shoulders and quarters with strong level topline. Very accurate on the move. See that he was my JD winner at Three Counties in 2015 and he has matured so well. CC, his second.
2 Neath-Duggan & Baker's Ch Buffrey Incognito By Dalleaf. Quite beautiful being chock full of quality and type with the best of dense black spotting on a clear white background. Super for body and balance, well made all through, this being reflected in the excellence of his movement. Most frustratingly he decided that the whole thing was so exciting that he insisted on being over-enthusiastic with his non-stop wagging tail despite his clever handler's best efforts. Most impressive nonetheless.
3 Goff-Leggett's Ch Washakie Shoshone Chief.

(12, 4)

1 Stevenson's Macula Moonlight Mystique. One of those that 'grew on me' as, at first, she was not putting all in on the move but then, like a switch being turned, she suddenly decided that it was actually enjoyable and pulled herself together to stand and move better and better along with a constantly wagging tail. She has a good head and charming expression. So well balanced, of lovely size, type, make and shape with all the parts fitting firmly and accurately into the right places with well angulated shoulder and quarters. Just to prove the point she moved beautifully to win her first RCC
2 Wright's Offordale Anastasia avec Millbelle
. Holds herself so proudly on the move but, for reasons of her own, inclined to take this to excess when standing by insisting on throwing her head rather far back, which manages to disguise the true symmetry of her outline. Full of quality and so well made all through, excellent topline and balance. Non stop wagging tail, super sound and energetic on the move.
3 Wilkinson's Gwynmor High Five To Hunacres (Imp Nld).
