Coulsdon Canine Club - 1st September 2011

Thank you to the exhibitors that entered and attended it was much appreciated given there was a Bulldog Breed Open Show on the same day and within 40miles. I was very impressed with the puppy class, and every dog exhibited had the desired extra length of tail and split nose roll.

Puppy (3,0)

1. Ayres’ Hillplace Tempation at Quilatera, Cobby and matured bodied 6 mth old r/w bitch. Feminine in head with good length of skull, big nose and dark clear eyes. Sufficient bone to compact feet. Best mover of the class and held her topline on the move. Well deserved BP.
2. Weller’s Geenawell Tuppenny Piece F/W 7mth bitch that only lost to 1 on lack of motivation and drive on movement. Well built bitch with well developed chest, sprung rib and dropped brisket giving the ideal pear shape body. Different type and taller on the leg to 1 but with sufficient bone. Big nose and open nostrils.
3. Phillips’ Geenawell The Chosen One

Junior (2,1)

1. Burn’s Colossus Blinding Blizzard, clean white bitch to size. Well covered girl with a lovely depth of body and sufficient bone. Well built rear end and good turn of stifle meant that she moved well. Lost out on higher awards due to overall balance of head and body size and lack of upturn of jaw.

Open (4,2)

1. Weller’s Crazy Little Doris for Geenawell, a very tidy R/W standard sized bitch. Good classic skull which was broad and flat with well set ears and clear dark eyes. Correct topline and tuck up that was held on the move. Good rear movement going and walking her width on the return. Was happy to award her BOB.
2. Ayres’ Sealaville He’s Elvis Quilatera Fawn smut dog. Good length of skull and clear dark eyes. Well boned and bodied with sufficient topline but lacked tuck up. Movement was restricted due to tight front and lack of rear angulation.

French Bulldog

Junior (1,1)

Postgraduate (1,1)

Open (1,0)

1. Bryant’s Risethor Tiger Tiger with Archness, Shame he stood alone as he has lots to offer. Brindle dog with a very handsome expression due to dark clear eyes with well sized nose and the correct amount of head work and wrinkle. Good sized and set ears. Well boned with good width of chest. Shapley body with the correct topline. Moved and covered the ground well. BOB and pleased to hear he went Group 3.
