Mr A Allcocks judging report

Scottish Toy Dog Society Open Show - March 23rd 2014

It was a great pleasure to judge the Scottish Toy Dog Society Open show. The BIS & BPIS line up was packed full of quality dogs which was an absolute credit to owners and breed class judges who had sent them through. At the end of a long day, each dog, without exception, gave a great performance and all were still very happy to be participating in the BIS show ring. Thanks to the organisers for the invitation and to the hard working band of stewards who greatly assisted in the smooth running of all the rings.

BIS was Easden & Martin's Pekingese,  Yakee Celebrity Status. Absolutely oozing in star quality. Beautiful shaped head and expression and clear bright eyes, open nostrils. Deep chest, lovely bone and substance. Optimum amount of coat of super texture. Strode out so well even at the end of a very long day and appeared to want to go on forever. Just could not be denied the top honours amongst great exhibits present. RBIS Lynch's S/C Chihuahua Garnox Ally Bally Bee JW Enchanting little busy body whose head qualities are super. Excellent balance on the stand. Uses her fabulous expression to full advantage. Moved like a dream today and gave the BIS winner a very close call. Already a holder of a CC so I hope that she continues her success to her title. BPIS Moyes & Hunter's to the Chinese Crested, Bryelis The Naked Truth.  Beautifully constructed h/l feminine bitch, superbly balanced and looked stunning on the stand. Great skin quality and presented in fabulous condition.  Moved with flawless precision covering the ground with ease. Should have a very bright future. RBPIS, Roberts's Shawhills Silver Dollar, Maltese of sufficient size, beautifully balanced in profile having sufficient leg length to aid. Coat already a good length. Excels in head qualities with correct shaped eye, well set and sufficient width of muzzle. Used that lovely reach of neck to advantage. On the final move just became a little tired but this was quite understandable at the end of a very long day.  BVIS Allan's & year old Miniature Pinscher, Allanabru Punce 'n Bounce JW ShCM. Mature show girl who knew her job. Super shape and size with classic well balanced head. Beautifully constructed throughout and presented in super condition. Moved around the ring with such aplomb - she obviously owned it!
