RESULTS 2006 APRIL CHAMP SHOW

Judge: Mrs Zena Thorn Andrews

152 Dogs, tba Entries, 54 Absentees

A smashing show in an ideal venue of Aldersly Leisure Centre, Wolverhampton. Such a sporting lot of exhibitors who gamely clapped each class! Bulmastiffs are not an easy breed to judge; trying to balance getting a sound build of correct size with the head required was pretty difficult, and compromises had to be made. It amazes me every time i judge the breed, the vast differences in head types bred. As the standard has a very good and lenghty head clause, i wonder why it is so difficult to get two heads alike? The entry of 152 dogs was super and i did very much enjoy my task. BIS Ms Denbys dog CH ROSCOS ROUGH DIAMOND, RES BIS and BOS, the junior bitch Ms Colliass' OPTIMUS CHARLOTTE OF OLDWELL. I believe i gave her sire William one of his earlier CCs. Best Puppy, Richards young brindle MOONLIGHT GOLD AT BRAMARLEY, very forward for a minor puppy and should go on well if she continues in this way. My thanks also to my excellent stewards.

1stDAJOXX JE NE SALS QUAI JW RBCCClose between first two and sisters i was told. The winner as a wee bit straighter forelegs and a little more feedom of movement. Ideal size,a gorgeous head, eyes and expression. Can be abit slack in back
2ndDAJOXX DAZZLING DIVAAlso a beautiful head, her ears set right to square, off the top of the skull.Powerful impressive muzzle,excellent body and topline and a nice rear. Moved out well, up and down movement and is certainly an eye catching girl, infact they both are and should make their titles given ordinary look.
