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.
