Peter Jolley in Barbados
Uk judge, Peter Jolley, has judged in Barbados before. He was first invited by the now defunct Japanese Akita Club of Barbados. In those days there were a lot of quality show Akitas on the island and there were enough keen Akita lovers to form a club. On this, his second judging assignment, he was the replacement judge for Bob Gregory who was invited by The Barbados Kennel Club and whom I understand was sick and unable to travel to Barbados for the scheduled show date. I was looking forward to showing a Tibetan Terrier under Bob Gregory as he is on the UK judges’ A1 list and used to show and breed Tibetan Terriers. I hope Bob Gregory has made a good recovery.
Peter Jolley is approved by The Kennel Club, UK, to judge the Toy, Utility and Working groups and to give challenge certificates in the UK to the following breeds we would have had in the show ring on March 17th: Akita, Boxer, German Shepherd Dog, Japanese Shiba Inu, Rottweiler, and Tibetan Terrier.
As an exhibitor, I found him to be very friendly and nice to show under and several exhibitors I talked with, said they appreciated having such a very friendly judge in the ring with them. He did withhold Challenge Certificates in some breeds where he felt it was merited and as a judge, he did give 2 dogs a 2nd place each in the ring when they were the only dog in the class in the ring which sent a message that although he is friendly, he also has high standards. And that is, in my opinion, how it should be. Dogs should not be awarded Challenge Certificates when they do not meet the required breed standard, especially when type, and proper breed structure are lacking.
Below is his critique of the dogs shown to him on March 17th. It was a small entry of dogs in The B’dos. Kennel Club’s first All Breed Championship show for 2013, as Peter Jolley had only 50 plus dogs to go over but this low number of entries has been the pattern now for sometime.
The photographs were taken by my friend Franz Phillips who gave me permission to post them here. Barbados has been going through a very dry period with little or no rain for the past few months and this has created a more challenging environment for photographers as the grounds are now brown instead of the usual green.
