Best and Reserve Best in Show November, 2015, in Barbados
This Barbados Kennel Club’s All Breeds Championship Dog Show was held at Waterford on November 22nd and was judged by Jeff Luscott from the UK. Jeff Luscott has judged here before. He has previously been approved by The Kennel Club, UK, to judge Best in Show, the Working, Terrier, Pastoral and the Utility groups. Most of the breeds shown here fall into the Working Group and he is approved in the UK to award Challenge Certificates to breeds such as the Bouvier Des Flandres, Great Dane, Rottweiler, Boxer, Bullmastiff, Mastiff, Dobermann and many other breeds in other groups shown here. He has also judged the Working and Pastoral groups at Crufts.
He spent an evening with exhibitors after the show, and demonstrated to us who had brought puppies/dogs how he would handle them in the show ring. I think the exhibitors enjoyed the evening with him and also enjoyed him as a judge as he has a very friendly personality.
His main winners at this show were a locally bred Rhodesian Ridgeback for BIS (Hound group)
Reserve Best in Show was a locally bred Shiba Inu (Utility Group)
Best Puppy in Show was an imported Domermann (Working Group)
Best Locally bred Puppy in Show was a Rottweiler (Working Group)
This show was sponsored by a new dog food distributor on our market, Spartan Animal Kingdom. Here is a display of some of their products. Besides dog food, they also have items for dogs such as supplements, toys, and training aids. They can be reached at 243 7323.

Minor Puppy
2 young newcomers, both dogs and handlers.
1st Dr. C. Goddard & Mrs. M. McClean-Goddard’s Swainsi Born to Be Wild. Head coming through, long way to go, has balance and shape, good body development and moves close but efficient, time and work needed to go further.
2nd Dr. C. Goddard & Mrs. M. McClean-Goddard’s Kenquince Break Out. Fawn with better features, good balance at front, not the body or rear end yet, straight angles and not the movement, but time on her side.
Dobermann

Finer at this stage but superb and accurate on the move, good profile, type coming through in head, parallels and jaw, she has the neck, is nearly square in body and a good angled rear end, she is true in front with good feet and offers a pleasing overall impression on the move with reach and drive.

Good example of the breed with a typical head type, skull, jaw muzzle and inverted V, good in body and substance, chest is broad and deep, strong neck, good topline and rear quarters, good to go over and power on the move. CC, BOB and close up in the Group.
Great Danes
Puppy Dog
1st Mrs. J. Pinheiro’s Ashella’s Royal Duke Dylan. I feel for this young lady owner, she loves him as a pet, but she imported as she thought a Great Dane and as an involved person (my original breed) and having judged them at Crufts this year, I can only be disappointed for her. He has a pleasing outline, with balance, but he is weak in head with poor ear set, he has no width or strength through his neck, body and rear end, moved ok on side, but so close at the rear. Enjoy him as he grows and maybe he will be good at obedience or other related dog activities. Good luck.
Minor Puppy Bitch
1st Mrs. J. Pinheiro’s Ashella’s Wonder Woman Joy. This youngster has a lovely profile although heavily
marked harlequin, she narrows through body at present and needs bone to form, not the strength in head, neck or body, she moves ok when in her stride.
Novice Bitch
1st Mrs. J. Pinheiro’s Dragonfly Venue De La Bleu. Substantial blue with the potential, she carries nice balance and type in head, pleases in body with the chest and topline, sadly paced most of the time on the move but has potential if her handler can control it.
Rottweilers
Minor Puppy Dog
1st Mstr. X Forde’s Bim Rothershire Asgard. Promising baby with good potential, carries the type in head, neck and front, he is good at this stage in body and through quarters, lots of growing to do, but moves ok when he strides.
Puppy Dog
1st Mr. K.A. Mason’s Elthor Dark Primo. Quality boy with a good typical head, skull, muzzle, jaw and strong teeth, he has the balance in outline and shape, good topline and rear quarters, has balance on the move, but lost his way on the move as final choice for Best Puppy in Group, so today taking Best Puppy in Breed, and Best L/B Puppy in Show.
Limit Dog
1st Dr. W.L. Welch’s Elthor Dark Matcho. Impressive solid dog with good head type in skull and muzzle, he is compact with the neck, front and body with more strength to come in maturity, but great stride on the move holding his shape. RCC today and RBOB.
Open Dog
1st Mr. N. McClean’s Kent Ridge Suzuki’s Driver. Strong and powerful compact solid boy with the head and shape, good overall balance and strength in muzzle, controlled the class on the move to win this and BOB, but not quite as settled in the group, closely considered but not quite the performance today. CC & BOB.
2nd Mr. R.T. Alleyne’s Richwood Arreleus’ Fire. Powerfully muscled boy but certainly lacked the calm gaze indicating humour today, he was on a high, has the skull, chest, body and rear when standing, but not able to put in a show on the move with a wide front and uncontrolled rear, felt sorry for the owner.
Minor Puppy Bitch
1st Mstr. X. Forde’s Bim Rotheshire Amocah, Good overall type in head body and balance, not quite settled standing but handler can work on this, strong teeth, good mover for a youngster – reach and drive.
Novice Bitch
1st Mr. R. Bascombe’s Kent Ridge Miss Mayweather. Pleasing enough girl to go over with balance and outline, she has the shape, is a nice mover but not quite the strength in skull and muzzle yet, handled well on the move to take the RCC in the challenge.
Open Bitch
1st Mr. R.T. Alleyne’s Ch.Richwood Akina’s Fire. Won his decision on the move with her free flowing purposeful action, good strength in skull and muzzle, strong neck, bone and holds shape standing and on the move, topline firm. CC.
2nd Mr. O. HOLDER’S Ashtoria Diva In Black. Strong girl with the power and head type, good overall outline, has bone and chest, not quite shoulder angles of 1 and just needs to firm up in body and topline.
Russian Black Terrier.
Limit Dog 1st Miss A. Bynoe’s Kalaslane Addicted To You. Big powerful boy with lots of potential, he is large and imposing, well proportioned in skull with more to fill in chest, body and bone, he is almost square and can strengthen in loin, dark eye and strong teeth are a feature, his coat is maturing, on the move he has the best of actions, correct rear slightly wider than front, the side ground cover of reach and drive is so impressive, should have a great future as he matures and fills out. Well handled here and in the Group. CC, BOB and Group Winner today, but not quite there yet for BIS but close to making the last two today.
German Shepherd Dog
Junior Bitch
1st Mrs. B. Kaufman’s Thorsson Haus Ava. Liked this promising girl for shape and flow on the side action, she has lots of promise as she matures and grows, she is alert with the head, she is closer at the rear but hocks are sound, good control on the move. CC & BOB.
Boxers
Open Dog
1st Miss J. Wilson’s Ch Sundial’s Sun God Apollo At Kaibo C.D. Striking, square shaped, solid compact dog of excellent quality, good type in head with the skull, jaw, eye and alert ear set, strong neck, good shoulder, muscular topline, loin and rear quarters, good action on all fronts in this class and for BOB, but then decided not to put in the best performance in the group, pacing and with his handler trying hard to motivate him, not quite there today. CC, BOB and close in the Group, taking Best L/B bred.
Minor Puppy Bitch
1st Mr. M. & Mrs. E. King’s Tabor Ridge Princess Josie. I really like this youngster, lovely type with the overall outline and balance, good proportions in head at this stage, but just needs to settle and show her mouth, could have gone further, lovely action on the move, good project for the handler.
Novice Bitch
1st Mrs. J. Pinheiro’s Cobblers Rock China Bell. Good balance and shape with the square outline, has the front, bone and chest developing – head forming, coming through in skull, more to come in muzzle, she moved with style holding the shape. RCC with more potential here.
Open Bitch
1st Miss G. Leach’s Ch Worthington’s Pretty N Peach. Mature honest girl, she has the balance and square shape, appeals in head type, topline and rear quarters, great condition of coat and was moving well to take the CC & RBOB.
Veteran
1st Miss J. Wilson’s Ch. Worthingtons Wish Me Luck C.D. Stylish 7 year old Boxer with the typical head, neck and chest, he is a solid boy with the shape and movement, still in great condition and with muscle tone enjoying his day and looking good in the Group.
2nd Mrs. G. Seale’s Willber Lazy Lord. The lovely Cavalier who won the Toy Group, 11 years and sound as a rock.
3rd Mrs. J. Ray’s Sh.Ch. Fenwood Louis Vuitton Of Thatcher. Goldie of 7 years, still moving well and strutting his stuff, nice attitude and a worthy champion.
