Liz Cartledge with Barbados top show dogs<\/p><\/div>\n

At the Barbados Kennel Club first All Breeds Championship Dog Show for 2010, the judge, Mrs. Elizabeth Cartledge put up an imported Rottweiler male as her Best in Show and an imported Rhodesian Ridgeback, also a male, was her Reserve.<\/p>\n

And the number of dogs she had to go over was very low as it was under 60 dogs, including the veteran class.<\/p>\n

Pictures of the Group winners were posted earlier.<\/p>\n

Below is her critique of the dogs she judged:<\/p>\n

TERRIERS<\/span><\/p>\n

BULL TERRIERS \u2013 Limit D (1) \u2013 1, CC, BOB & Terrier Group, Harrison\u2019s Kingdom\u2019s Powers, 18 months coloured, very fit and well muscled, lovely coat, adequate head, keen eyes, mouth could be better but that is a problem in this breed, well handled, a little stubborn and reluctant on the move but by the end of the day he was trotting along quite happily. Strong body<\/p>\n

TOYS<\/span><\/p>\n

PALILLONS \u2013 Open D (2) \u2013 1, CC, BOB & Toy Group, Blanchard\u2019s Hothersall\u2019s Ares, 3 years, attractive little dog who wasn\u2019t keen carrying his plume up when moving but did so standing. Pleasing head, good body, well proportioned and handled; 2, RCC & RBOB, Blanchard\u2019s Kingshaven You\u2019re My Smiffy at Hothersall, 2 \u00bd years, a bit bold in eye and carrying a bit too much weight for a dainty breed. Moved and showed quite well, good topline. Both 1 & 2 were clean and well presented. Open B (1) \u2013 1, CC, Blanchard\u2019s Hothersall\u2019s Athena, litter sister to BOB dog and another who decided to carry her tail behind her and not up! Pretty girl, very feminine head and outlook, hare feet, good body and coat. Could be firmer in front movement<\/p>\n

GUNDOGS<\/span><\/p>\n

GOLDEN RETRIEVERS \u2013 Minor Puppy D (1) \u2013 1,BP, BOB & runner up Gundog Group, Ray\u2019s Fenwood Louis Vuitton of Thatcher, this 7 months dog pup made quite an impression finishing the day winning BPIS! Quality young man in the best of health, kind expression, dark eyes, well laid shoulders, good bone and body, well presented coat. To be really picky he moved a shade close behind but very together going round the ring especially for one so young. Full of potential.
\nOPEN D (3,2) \u2013 1, RCC, Field\u2019s Thatchers Storm Cloud, 4 years, honest dog but would like more quality in head, willing showman, good depth of body, excellent bone, moved and showed ok. Not standing very well in front, shoulders could have more lay back. Minor Puppy B (1) \u2013 1, RCC, Ray\u2019s Amirene Midsummer Dream of Thatcher, 7 \u00bd months shapely puppy, at the moment looks a shade long in loin, good bone, legs and feet, feminine head, kind eyes, moved reasonably well, sympathetically handled. Tail looked a bit depressed on the move. Open B (1) \u2013 1, CC, RBOB, Ray\u2019s Sh.Ch. Thatchers Storm in a Teacup C.D., 4 years, rather out of coat but she has nothing to hide, easy mover, at one with her handler, good topline, attractive head, expressive eyes, intelligent expression, well conditioned<\/p>\n

LABRADORS \u2013 Open D (2) \u2013 1, CC, BOB & Gundog Group. Leacock\u2019s Sh.Ch. Benatone Secret Mission of Theberton, nearly 8 years, typy yellow, barrels ribs, good bone, nails need attention, typical head, kind expression, short coupled and moved quite well, steady showman, well proportioned; 2, RCC, RBOB, Gray-Marshall\u2019s Linthwaite Centaurus of Zinzara, will be 3 in May this yellow, clean and well presented but looking a bit rangy, pleasing head, firm body, clean coat but not a lot of it, in hard condition, well handled<\/p>\n

FLAT COATS \u2013 Open B (1) \u2013 1, CC & BOB, Greenidge\u2019s Sh.Ch. Ballyriver Tweed In Paradise C.D. Just 2, charming but I\u2018d like a little more of her and a shade more bone. Well conditioned, no mistaking for anything but a bitch in head and general outlook. Not in full coat. Bit loose in front action.<\/p>\n

HOUNDS<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Beagles<\/a>

Beagles in Barbados dog show<\/p><\/div>\n

BEAGLES \u2013 Open B (2) \u2013 1, CC & BOB. Gilkes\u2019 Kinola\u2019s Cleo, black blanketed tri of 2, good type and size, fit and well conditioned, excellent coat, good head. Feeling the heat a bit so not putting all in when moving, sympathetically handled; 2, Gilkes\u2019 Ch. Kinola\u2019s Calista, litter sister to 1st and most of the same remarks apply. I preferred Cleo\u2019s head but a close decision, RRCC & RBOB.<\/p>\n

RHODESIAN RIDGEBACKS \u2013 Minor Puppy D \u2013 (2) \u2013 1, BP, RCC, Hamilton-Outcalt\u2019s Crownridge Red Regent, just 6 months, well grown puppy with excellent feet, good bone. Head needs to develop at present, slightly overshot, hopefully this will right itself. Looking rather gangly so obviously needs to drop in body and grow into himself. Really stepped up the pace when moving and went with plenty of drive. Fit and sound. 2, Hamilton-Outcalt\u2019s Crownridge Red Romeo, litter brother of 1st, needs ring training in order to progress. Typical head, dark eyes, in good condition, showed well in spasms. Slightly lame in front. Open D \u2013 (1) \u2013 1, CC, BOB, Hound Group & RBIS, Atkinson\u2019s Ballyriver Milton, 20 months, impressed from the outset, athletic young hound in super form and muscle tone. I was interested to see in the catalogue that he is out of Ch. Sonstral Christmas Eve at Kazval, a bitch I have raved about and put up in England. Small world! Has a very bright future ahead \u2013 very classy! Minor Puppy B \u2013 (2,1) \u2013 1, Hamilton-Outcalt\u2019s Crownridge Red Red, litter mate to the 2 MP boys, feminine puppy, not going quite true in front. Dark expressive eyes, well proportioned, good coat and condition. Should grow into a nice bitch. Limit B (1) \u2013 1, CC, RBOB, Atkinson\u2019s Rottzridge Celtic Princess, 20 months, another eye catcher of good quality and type, lovely head, fit and well conditioned, relaxed showgirl and mover although could have put a little more effort into her performance. Slight tendency to slackness in topline when going around the ring. Open B (1) \u2013 1, RCC, Hamilton-Outcalt\u2019s Ch. Broani Chiku at Crownridge C.D., 3 years, well schooled showgirl, mum of the minor puppies so clearly not just a pretty face. Quality head, good coat and condition. Failed in topline standing and moving, well handled, moved ok.<\/p>\n

UTILITY<\/span><\/p>\n

AKITAS \u2013 Novice D (1) \u2013 1, Knight & Hope\u2019s Paul Bear, 2 years, clean coat but carrying a little extra weight, not 100% in front standing, moved ok. Showmanship could be more animated. Limit D (1) \u2013 1, RCC, Jones\u2019 Free Lance, 3 years, lean and fit with good muscle tone, a bit long in muzzle and failed in expression, good body and quarters, reasonable side gait, well handled. Open D \u2013 1, CC & BOB, Spencer\u2019s Ch. Barindi Superstar, 6 years, excellent type, most typical head, eyes and ear set, well fitting coat, splendid bone, held his topline on the go round. Rather tired in front movement. A little past his prime but still the best Akita today. Open B (1) 1, CC & RBOB \u2013 Taylor\u2019s Ch. Topaz Taboo, 5 \u00bd years, lovely coat, feminine head, clean and well presented, moved ok. Standing a little flat on her front feet. Half sister to BOB<\/p>\n

BOSTON TERRIERS \u2013 Open B (1) \u2013 1, CC & BOB, Scott\u2019s Ch. Wildax Romantic Rosetti of Sprea, 18 months, delightful head and expression, smart little mover, sassy showgirl, glossy coat, very fit. Started to feel the heat later on and did not give her best in the group.<\/p>\n

MINIATURE SCHNAUZER \u2013 Open D (1) \u2013 1, CC, BOB & Utility Group, Anderson\u2019s Ch. Risepark Pretty Smart Guy at Jamrock, 3 years, eye catching dog in good coat and form, showed with keen interest. Very well handled and turned out, quality head, excellent ear carriage. Movement could be better \u2013 great outline when stacked. Open B(1) \u2013 1, CC & RBOB, Anderson\u2019s Risepark High Hopes at Jamrock, 17 months, not quite as relaxed as her kennel mate, certainly had a will of her own when moving \u2013 so far and then no further! Good outline and depth of body, well muscled hindquarters, moved wee behind. Neat head, well bodied. A very nice pair of Miniature Schnauzers<\/p>\n

WORKING<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bouvier<\/a>

Calliope Rita and her brother Rupert<\/p><\/div>\n

BOUVIERS \u2013 Limit (1) \u2013 1, CC & RBOB, Kirton\u2019s Calliope Rupert, 4 years, rather lazy attitude but it was extremely hot for a heavy coated dog. Typical head, good body. Coat presentation and handling could be better. Hindquarters could be stronger but gaited ok once he found his speed. Limit B \u2013 (1) \u2013 1, CC & BOB, Ashby\u2019s Calliope Rita, litter sister to Rupert and a bit more enthusiastic about it all. Good head and expression, ample bone, good body and depth, decent stride and held her topline, well proportioned<\/p>\n

DOBERMANNS \u2013 Novice D (1) \u2013 1, CC & BOB, Waterman\u2019s Brandy Wine Aries, 5 \u00bd years b\/t, needs to carry a little more weight to advantage, has that touch of elegance but today he was feeling the heat, good length of head, expressive eyes, excellent reach of neck, firm topline, movement ok. Limit D \u2013 1, RCC, Haynes\u2019 Market Hill Musketeer, 18 months brown, excellent depth of body, masculine head, moving rather wide in front and failed in feet. Good coat and condition.<\/p>\n

BULLMASIFFS \u2013 Puppy D (3) \u2013 Three litter brothers competing here. 1, Jemmott\u2019s Silver Sands, 9 months, attractive head, well balanced height to length, good body and condition, steady mover. Feet a little splayed. Best Locally Bred Puppy in Show; 2, Jemmott\u2019s Mister Big, needs to develop and strengthen in hindquarters and hind movement, fit and healthy, dark eyes, well handled: 3, Jemmott\u2019s Mister Amazon, brindle of much lighter build, not making the most of himself standing. Failed in head qualities. Very hot and not moving at all well. Junior D (2,1) \u2013 1, Gibson\u2019s Fortesque Bargunner, 13 months brindle with masculine head and outlook, strong neck, good bone and substance, clean silhouette standing, needs to improve in movement all round. Maiden D (1) 1, Jones\u2019 Prince Caspian, 19 months fawn, handsome youngster, typical head, well conditioned, excellent coat and body, steady character, good neck and topline. Not moving quite true in front. Open D (2) \u2013 1, CC & RBOB, Ashby\u2019s Flanders Commorawy Wood at Zahara Bulls, 3 years, red, decent dog, at times a little slack in topline when posed but this was not evident when he moved. Pleasing head, fit and well muscled, good coat, in excellent form; 2, RCC, Evelyn\u2019s Ch. Braeaaron Wallace at Ardhub to Hothersall, 3 years, brindle, light eyes detract from expression, a little overdone in head for me, short coupled but carrying too much weight, excellent bone and depth of body, well handled. A bit lethargic today and falls away over the croup. Open B (1) \u2013 1, CC & BOB, Evelyn\u2019s Ardhub Strike a Pose at Hothersall, 2 \u00bd years red, easily the best Bullmastiff in today\u2019s entry. Quality bitch of good type and overall balance. I liked her head and expression, muscular neck, well placed shoulders, firm body and quarters, well handled and presented, typical mover<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

Dogues des Bordeaux at March, 2010 dog show<\/p><\/div>\n

DOGUES DE BORDEAUX \u2013 Limit D (1) \u2013 1, CC & BOB, Taylor\u2019s Monifa Prince Jabari, 2 \u00bd years, good head, massive bone, muscular neck, handler made the most of his charge and gave him good outline standing. Needs to strengthen in movement \u2013 it was much too hot for this breed to perform today. Open D (2) \u2013 1, RCC, White\u2019s Wolfram Beezlebub Von Boldheart at Richelle, 4 \u00bd years, surprisingly agile on the move but not holding his topline today, well proportioned head, good body and condition, well handled; 2, Ince\u2019s Daliton Koda, 2 \u00bd years, rather nervous and not used to being handled. Masculine head, well bodied and coated. Failed badly in movement. Open B (1) \u2013 1, CC & RBOB, White\u2019s Boldheart\u2019s Flash Fire at Richelle, only 21 months, fit and active but needs to fully mature. Good overall proportions, feminine head, clean and well presented, handled to advantage. Bit tired on the move but who could blame her in this heat.<\/p>\n

ROTTWEILERS – Puppy D (1) \u2013 1, BP, Waterman\u2019s Kemrorocks Kabul, 11 months, failed in head and expression, well bodied puppy in good form, well proportioned, clean coat, moved with a purpose. Needs time. Maiden D (1) \u2013 1, Phillips\u2019 Elthor Dark Donner of Greenwood, 2 years, I liked his head and expression, lovely eyes, full of intelligence, clean necked, firm body, excellent coat. Lacked coordination on the move. Limit D (2,1) \u2013 1, RCC, Alleyne\u2019s Guni the Heat Is On, 3 years, good topline and quarters, plenty of power on the move, when he chose to settle, keen intelligent expression, good feet, well conditioned. Open D (1) \u2013 1, CC, BOB, Working Group & Best in Show, Welch\u2019s Juffther Dream Lover. 2 years, good looking young male who stole the show for me. Never put a foot wrong or broke his stride when gaiting. Beautifully fit, spotlessly clean, good head, bone, body, legs and feet, held his firm topline at all times, showed with style and looked the part. At just 2 years old he will get even better, so will make the going hot in the showring for some time to come!\u00a0 Minor Puppy B (3,1) \u2013 1, RCC, Welch\u2019s Elthor Dark Jene, 9 months, head needs to improve but scored in top line when moving, fit and well conditioned, steady show girl.\u00a0 Howell’s Dark Jasmin, better head than her litter sister but topline not ready yet,\u00a0 strong body, good coat.\u00a0 Junior B (1)1 Howell’s Kemorocks Kashmir, nice shape but did not care for her\u00a0 head at all. Fit strong body, clean coat. Throwing her front legs when moving. Limit B 1 CC Alleyne’s Elthor’s Dark Etta. Handler could have got a bit more out of her\u00a0 standing and moving. Adequate head, excellent condition, good bone and body,\u00a0 steady personality. A bit extravagant in front action.<\/p>\n

GERMAN SHEPHERDS \u2013 Numbers have dropped dramatically in this breed. Puppy D (1) \u2013 1, RCC, Johnson\u2019s Shotaans Mojo, 9 months, at the legs and wings stage and needed to settle into proper gaiting pattern, attractive head, alert expression, lean and fit, good outline but hindquarters need to strengthen as he moved and stood cow hocked. Needs time to mature and will end up a decent GSD. Novice D (1) \u2013 1, CC & BOB, Johnson\u2019s Danaman Pure Temptation, nearly 2, lovely head, good bone and overall conformation, handled to best advantage, well proportioned, firm backline, very together with his handler when gaiting, excellent coast and conditions. I considered him for runner up in the Working Group but on the last run off he dropped a gear and didn\u2019t have the animation of the Boxer so had to pay the penalty<\/p>\n

BOXERS – This breed used to be so strong in numbers \u2013 today there were just 3 but they were of good type. Limit D (1) \u2013 1, RCC, RBOB, Wilson\u2019s Worthington Wish Me Luck, son of my BOB, 21 months deer red\/white, well constructed youngster in good form, very fit, bit long in foreface, excellent bone, happy showman, good depth of body, moved ok. Open D (1) \u2013 1, CC & BOB, runner up in Working Group, Wilson\u2019s Stillwell\u2019s Prince of Fire, you would not believe this r\/w is 7 years old! Happy and willing to show off, great character, typical male head, full of expression, good topline, depth of body and bone, looked well in side movement, just a shade close going away. Good muscle tone, very fit. Excellent coat. Best Locally Bred Dog in Show. Open B (1) \u2013 1, CC, Leach\u2019s Ch. Seefeld Sea Goddess of Worthington, 4 \u00bd years r\/w, typy with lovely silhouette standing, but lacked animation and showmanship, when moving. Good reach of neck, feminine head, lovely coat, well conditioned and handled. Dam of RCC winner \u2013 pity she can\u2019t be made to enjoy the show ring!<\/p>\n

VETERAN (2) \u2013 1, Bentley\u2019s Ch. Dialynne Messenger, 8 \u00bd years tri Beagle dog, still very fit and sound, bit reluctant to get his tail going in the heat, quality head, soft expression, held his topline on the move, well bodied, excellent coat; 2, Blandford\u2019s Sh.Ch. Hothersall Mavolio CDX, Golden Retriever of 7, all quality head, kindest of eyes, coat not in its best, not standing very well in front, willing to move and show whenever asked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
