Thank you for the hospitality shown by you all at a memorable show. I really enjoyed going over such a great entry and know that at least some exhibitors went home happy but, I hope they all felt they had the same attention and decisions were very close in some of the classes. I wonder if I may be permitted a comment. I have never encountered such a high degree of baiting! I really feel strongly about this and think show training is essential. I ran show training classes for nearly 20 years and bait was banned and we really produced some very good results. It is sometimes unpleasant for a judge to be faced with a mouthful of food when trying to assess head properties – so many dogs kept their head screwed down tight that it was virtually impossible to get a good look in their eyes. Oh dear! I didn’t mean to preach. Lovely dogs. Lovely people. Lovely day.
1. Hawkins’s Veldtkammer Hot Shot 8 months. Pleasing head and expression and good overall make and shape
2. Campbells’s Imbali Jawara at Nyassa 9 months. Liver nose had not quite as good a topline or feet as winner
3. Parke & Pearce’s Veldtkammer Red or Dead
1. Jeffery’s Ozubi’s Lewis. 11 months. Very well
made with good depth of chest and decent hind angulation. Best mover.
BPD
2. Moore & James’ OzUbi’s Jenson.
11 months. Not the
presence of winner and did not move too well behind.
3. Vobes & Webber’s Veldtkammer Roll Em Over
1. Mackfall’s Kelshanti Senator of Africaner. 12 months of super make and
shape and accordingly went very well. Liked his head and expression.
2. Muir’s Kiromol It’s All About Me at
Kikeba. I felt I had to penalise this lovely
dog on his crowns but hated doing so as he outclassed his competitors in
all other respects
3. Jeffery’s Ozubi’s Lewis
1. Rhodes’ Voorlooper Rude Not To of Metalrock. Stood alone – not a lot of him and moved a bit close behind.
1. Rhodes’ Janak Jago of Metalrock.
Strong 5 year old giving his young handler a hard time. With training
I’m sure this handsome dog of such a good type could do well
2. Dillon & Ashman’s Eilack Kaan.
Very dark wheaten not disgraced to stand behind such a super type
3. Nolan’s Harambee Ku-duma
1. Welch’s Space Explorer.
Big upstanding very sound boy who moved well and I preferred his head to
2nd.
2. Parrot’s Marondera Jubilant Jelani.
Moved well but not as confident in stance and possibly a bit short in
muzzle.
3. Maclean & Clark’s Veldtkammer Golden
Balls at Callmn
1. Reid & Meikle’s Rejan Top Gun jw.
Filled my eye as soon as I saw him and did not disappoint when moving. So
strong and sound, masculine but not coarse, super colour. Fought hard in
the final, his time will come. Res CC and RBIS
2. Raymond’s Sofala Sabo.
Very smart with quality all over, he also moved very well
3. Lynn’s Tsjakka Just Joey
1. Webster’s Ch Ngoma Uzuri of Umbari jw
sh.Cm.
What a smart dog, red wheaten, super type all through. A joy to see moving
round the big ring. CC and BIS
2. Wilcox’s Kenmilquin Dalmar at Belstone.
Lovely big boy full of character. Feet spread let him down
3. Maidment’s Shombay Shamakani of Amanle
1. Carlton’s Ch Umhlandla Luwamba jw.
7 1/2 years easy winner on type alone, not surprised to see his title
2. Hodge’s Am / Mex Field Ch Columbia Blue
Sky of Courage (imp). Very sound but a bit plain in head
3. Maidment’s Mirengo’s Muchudi of Osebeni
1. Swales’ Mwani Sauda. 8
months. Dark masked red wheaten with super front and feet, very compact.
BPB & BPIS
2. Lowson’s Veldtkammer Hot News at
Jengachenga. At 8 months a bit rangy but pleasing
3. Pearce & Parke’s Veldtkammer Hot Gossip
1. Dunn’s Tukela Zahra.
Lovely type who went well. Rich colour without being too dark. Good
legs and feet
2. Bate’s Gunthwaite One Cool Diamond.
Close up to winner and again good rich colour, well boned legs and
feet. Went well
3. Meredith & Evans’ Sofala Dancin
Starlight of Ardchelle
1. Whitelock’s Okameeli Koshka Brodi.
Strong-headed with perhaps too much wrinkle but compensated with good bone
and feet and excellent ridge
2. Raymond’s Sofala Scarlett Dancer.
Smart but not very confident
3. Smith’s Makibos Kilimadscharo
1. Nelson’s Zougani Zhara.
Not an easy class to judge all so different. Nicely built solid bitch
2. Gilfillan’s Rejan XQuisite.
Head did not please
3. Farleigh’s Kinabula Kibali Kitambi jw
1. Gray’s Kijivu’s Khola.
Not overbig but very well put together and neat. Went well. Excellent
ridge
2. Ensor’s Monduri Henje Shugee of
Saffronridge. Free moving bigger bitch. Close decision
3. Meredith & Evans’ Sofala Dancin Starlight
of Ardchelle
The 1st 5 selected from this big class had by far the best movement
1. Parson’s Priorpark Yakini.
2 1/2 year old light wheaten in great nick. Strong but not coarse, super
body, lovely head and expression, she really caught my eye and pressed
so hard for the ticket but went home with the RCC
2. Brien & Young’s Jengachenga Bold As Brass
For Imanje jw. 22 month red wheaten very close up on general
good type and fitness
3. Dawes & Brennan’s Neelanjali Arora
Butterfly
1. Storey’s Kiromol Tallulah Belle jw.
My notes say “Cleo” which brings to mind an old-fashioned type (no offence),
light wheaten 2 year old so soundly built and moved accordingly, not
overdone in any way and really gave her all in the challenge
2. Everitt’s Lobengula Ruby Wednesday.
Very smart 5 year old streamlined, great legs and feet
3. Gilfillan’s Rejan High Flyer
1. Harrower’s Jimanns Jiggy Jiggy.
4 year old elegant but solid on good legs and feet, adequate rear angulation,
excellent mover, she really stretched out round the ring. It wasn’t an easy
win for the CC and I can quite see why she may get overlooked, but the more
I looked the more I liked, she is so typical. Hope her other tickets come
soon. CC and RBOS
2. Morris’ Bruet Sing The Blues to Kasenga.
5 year old going well. So many to like in this class
3. Hodge’s Am Ch Am Gr Ch Veldtkammer Assle
Me Litely
1. Morris’ Ch Buet Song of Kasenga.
Stylish 9 1/2 year old went really well with that certain panache that comes
with age (or so I tell myself) B V
2. Cairn’s Rooinek Tintaglia
3. Nash’s Ch Mirengo’s Maiya with Mutoko jw
