2018 September Show

Shetland Sheepdog Club of NSW 30 Sep 2018 show

Judge Mrs Pauline Brennan-Lim - Aliste Shelties

 

Shetland Sheepdog Club of NSW Inc Championship Show critique.

Firstly I would like to thank the Committee for the opportunity to judge your Specialty. I had a lovely day enjoying the weather and seeing some lovely Shelties. Thanks also to Garry and Danielle Dryburgh for looking after me during the day.

Please keep in mind when reading this critique, that I judge Shelties for what I like about them and generally not what I don’t like and also for what benefits they can provide to the overall betterment of the breed.

Baby Puppy Dog.

  1. Hartly The Jewel Thief.

    Baby of nearly 6 months with a very good outline and strong topline. Lovely neck, strong legs and feet. Moving very well for his age. Overall very promising.

     

Puppy Dog.

1.Ch. Deerod Don’t You Know Its Magic- Best Puppy in Show

Very glamourous puppy with a super coat. The coat however, can swallow his neck up, on the move. Lovely neck and outline on the stack. Excellent head planes and ears. Covers ground on the side gait but a bit close coming towards, today. Was a little unsettled at times but type won out. Very promising puppy.

 

       2.  Cheralay As If By Magic.

             Similar in type to the winner. Topline not quite as strong. Moving adequately for his age.

 

          3.  Beauideal Turn On The Charm.

             Smaller puppy, very happy on the day. Lovely size, good head type, good ears and expression. Did not  have      the  forequarter angulation of 1st and 2nd. Balanced gait on the move.

 

Junior Dog.

  1. Scotsdream Rekindle The Spark.

    A good sized dog with a lovely outline. Well balanced head with good ears and expression. Really stretched out on the move. Excellent solid topline.

     

  2. Brashelle Back To You

    Smallish Blue Merle dog with the sweetest head and expression. Body a bit too compact for me and a little restricted in front. Overall colour was lovely.

     

     

Intermediate Dog

  1. Hartly How About That.

    Handsome gold boy with a super outline and solid topline. Very dark eye and overall good expression. Would prefer a little more chin. Moving true coming forward but a bit close in the rear moving away.

     

  2. Ronashill Blue Tycoon

    Blue Merle dog with good colour, head and ears. Topline a little soft and shoulder angles not as good as the winner. Toeing out a little behind.

     

  3. Tisman Tayla Ina Tux

    Tri boy with a solid head. Expression not quite as sweet as 1st and 2nd. Good topline on the move and covered the ground well. Lacking a little coat.

     

Australian Bred Dog

  1. Ch. Sheldan Mile High- Reserve Challenge Dog

Good head and expression, carrying a slightly better neck than 2nd. Excellent coat and outline. Could do with a little more shoulder angle but overall balanced gait and showed well.

Open Dog

  1. Sup. Ch. Louanda Frequent Flyer- Challenge Dog. Best in Show

Gold dog of substance. Very good coat and outline. Good legs and feet. Could do with a little more underjaw and would prefer a slightly better angled forequarter. Showed very well and really looked the part of a winner.

 

     2.  Ch. Bluescot Bravado

Shaded sable dog whose coat colour was stunning. This boy was quite over weight which hampered his movement. Good neck and topline and overall outline.
