Critique from Christine Collins

Please see below critiques from Colin Richardson. He has apologised for the delay but he had to recover several files after his laptop failed. He managed to get everything back except for Bullmastiff classes which were corrupted.
He has sent his apologies and thanks to the exhibitors affected.

Exonian Canine Association
284 class Open Show Saturday 2nd December 2023
Terriers & Group, Working Group,Varieties & BIS
Judge: Colin Richardson

My sincere apologies for the delay in sending in my critique and the patience of the Secretary in understanding a pressing personal situation together with family illness.

I would like to thank the Officers & Committee of the Society for inviting me to officiate at their well-run open show and to judge Best in Show. Having been involved with the running of shows for nearly 50 years, I know too well the hard work and dedication put in by the organisers.

The Best in Show line up was very good and the Group winners pushed the eventual BIS & RBIS winners very hard. Best in Show and Best Puppy in Show was the Dobermann an 11 month old puppy Protocol’s The Midas Touch (Imp. USA) Imposing young man who dominated the ring and who moved with drive and reach. Apparently I gave a similar award to a related exhibit at Minehead Show a couple of years ago. Well handled, had that look at me quality. RBIS was the Golden Retriever Fairwinds in Space Man JW. Beautifully presented, moved around the ring with drive and presence. I am sure the breed judge will give a full critique
The Best Puppy in Show line up I thought 2 puppieCalavey’s The Investutures stood away from the rest. The 11 month old Dobermann dog Protocol’s The Midas Touch (Imp. USA) who took Puppy in Show and the precocious 7month old Jack Russell Terrier dog Calavey’ss The Investiture was reserve Besst Puppy in Show. 2 excellent examples of their respective breeds and I am sure they will acquit themselves well in their future show careers. The Dobermann was outstanding and carried all before him.

Jack Russell Terrier Open D/B (11. 3abs)
Thanks to the exhibtors for the entry. I have watched this breed with interest since it first burst onto the UK show scene. I have judged it occasionally and have enjoyed the experience. As any ‘new’ breed coming to the UK there is a variation in type and hopefully within the next few years it will settle down. There was quite a variation in head type and length of body. Speaking as a former hunt follower and as friend of Masters of several Miners’ hunts, short legged Jacks have been around for many years and most hunts had several accompanying them; there was both wire and smooth coated and bear little resemblance to the smartly turned out dogs in the show ring.
It was a pleasure and honour to judge so many at the show

1st BOB Mignamo-Fricker & Fricker ‘s Calavey’s Enchantress. 2 year old bitch, well presented and in good hard condition. Lovely headshape with powerful jaw and correct bite. Earset good. Strong neck flowing into well placed shoulders produced excellent forehand/ Correct body shape and length to height ration. Good tailset and jacket. Moved well.
2nd, BP, Terrier Puppy Gp 1, RBPiS Mignamo-Fricker & Fricker ‘s Calavey’s The Investiture. 7 Month old dog puppy who has all the attributes to finish given a fair wind. He was unfortunate to meet the BIS Dobermann who was also a puppy. Good luck with his future career in the breed and terrier rings. Lovely head of correct proportion with keen eye and good foreface well set ears. Clean neck going into well laid back shoulders, good depth of chest and correct length of back. Well set on tail. Good rear angulation, moved well.

2nd Shuttleworth & Whincup’s Skye Terrier bitch Wondersky Wish You Were Here at Whicheeta (Imp USA) I liked this 22 month old bitch who is going through changing her coat. Of very good quality which earned her a hard fought 2nd place. Well proportioned feminine head with good earset and bite. Large teeth and strong underjaw. Little dippy in back when stacked but held her topline on the move which is of more importance. Correctly placed shoulders with good lay back. Rear angulation correct. Moved OK
3rd Grant’s Dannebriel Me ansd My Girl (AI) JW SCWT
Open D/B (4, 1abs)
1stAVNSC & Group 2. Shuttleworth’s Skye Terrier Whicheeta Walk the Walk. I gave this dog the CC at Leeds earlier this year. He is not a ‘flashy dog but is so sound both in construction and just as importantly size. Too many in this breed are getting too big. He is a breed specialist’s dog who can appreciate his finer points. I would suggest that budding Skye judges ask to examine him. Moves very soundly and has the 3 ‘Ls’. Lost out in the challenge for GP 1 to a very nice WHWT where I was splitting hairs. Lovely male head without coarseness, Good bite and strong underjaw. Very good forehand & correct height to length ratio. Level topline which he kept on the move and standing. Good length & shape of rib cage with short loin which gives the strength in the back. Rear angulation correct, moved with drive.
