​Cardiff C.S Open Show – 27/1/13

Bulldogs

Thank you to my attentive ring stewards Terry O'Donovan and his wife. Also to the show committee who seemed extremely proud of the entry which resulted in a ‘group picture’ of the Puppy class as evidence! The show had a lovely atmosphere created by committee and exhibitors. The hall was ‘alittle hot’ but all dogs coped well, maybe less so the handlers!

Puppy (10,1abs)

1. Arumus Cutting Edge (BOB, BP & Utility Puppy Group 2), Lovely standard size R/W 11 mth old male. Strong and sturdy dog that exudes power. Well boned front, strong pasterns on tight compact feet. Shapely body with a lovely clean outline on profile. Correct topline to well set ‘pump’ tail. Sour expression with dark clear eyes, head wrinkle alittle heavier then I would have liked, but did not impede on nose or eyes. The best mover of the day, sound and skimming the floor.
   
2. Rosie Tee Kerkade, Just 6mths old super feminine R/W bitch. Broad flat skull, with dark round expressive eyes. Beautiful depth of body that was short coupled and well built. Good topline to a well set and suitable tail. Sound movement.
   
3. Hillbull Heeza Snowman Neibull
   

Junior (4,1abs)

1. Neibull Egyptian Boy (RBOB) this 15mth F/W male excelled in head qualities. Brick skull with great width of foreface that was well cushioned and under pinned by a true jaw of good width and upsweep. Short bodied, good topline and rear angulation, sufficient bone and moved well.
   
2. Dewisant Little Miss Muffin, 17mth close knit coated R/W bitch. Lovely clean lines, classic skull, good nose with correct layback. Correctly tacked on shoulders on a short body with well barrelled rib
   
3. Saintgeorges Prim 'n' Proper at Arumus
   

Post Graduate (4,1abs)

1. The Miz at Baalzebul, R/W pied very clean and tidy nearly 2 yr old male. In good condition and presented very well. Moved well and to this width on the return. Well worked head with good nose and correct dark clear eye resulting in a good expression. Good reach of neck on a short body with OK topline and suitable tail.
   
2. Cathjabull Viking Spirit, 19mth strong R/W male. Heavier in all aspects to the winner. Body in hard condition with correctly tacked on shoulders, shapely topline finished by a suitable tail. Strong neck with a good size and width to skull, I would have liked a higher ear set.
   
3. Pretty Young Thing
   

Open (4, 1abs)

1. Bradiebe Redmond at Neibull, substantial R/W 3 year old that was very light on his feet and moved extremely well, with a strong rear end. Broad flat skull with thin ears and good dark eyes.
