NOVEMBER OPEN SHOW - JUDGE`S CRIT

PAPILLON CLUB OF SCOTLAND : Open show 27th November 2005

I was delighted to be invited to judge the Club show and was thrilled with the entry of 92 dogs, with only 10 absentees. I think the quality of Scottish dogs is excellent, and I had many beautiful dogs and bitches of lovely type. I thoroughly enjoyed my day. My thanks to Gladys Baillie for her unobtrusive stewarding and also to her young helper, Neil Leiper.

Veteran: (10)
All present and what a class to start off the day! Lots of old favourites here. It was a privilege to see them all. I was spoilt for choice. Many thanks for bringing them all under me.
1. Hill’s Corralyn Tartan Toorie. At almost 9 years he looked stunning and showed like the real trooper he is. Such a shame he never got his title. Full of real breed type and just what I look for in a Pap. 100% sound, in terrific condition. A real star turn.
2. McGregor’s Pyatshaw White Heat. At 8 years old, in great form, never put a foot out of place, so sound in every respect, a joy to go over. A lovely type of dog, a credit to his owner.
3. McDonald’s Longcrags Sassie Dancer, another old favourite of mine.

MPD (3) All present.
1. Whitehill’s Frasermar Jack Frost. 8 months tri, very attractive little dog, typey head, lovely mouth, nice size for age, good body, sound overall, very attentive to handler, an easy winner here. Covered the ground daintily and with drive.
2.Comrie-Bryant’s Frasermar Snowdrift, litter brother to 1st , a bit narrow all through. Showed O.K.
3. Moir’s Lordenbyn Macadamian King.

PD (5) All present

3. Skelton’s Pamhurst Whisper at Adnamashan

JD (3) All present.
1. Finlayson’s Sharjoy Regency Buck. 17 months tri, smallish type, handler needs to slow him down a little as he can be erratic at times. Nevertheless a smart little chap.
Lovely head. Good fine, silky coat.
2. Fraser’s Abbeyton Sunshine Boy. 13 months and on the larger side but fine-boned nevertheless. Smart appearance. And expressive head and ears. Sound overall, covers the ground with ease.

2.Patrick’s Volpecula Art Deco. A truly magnificent head piece with stunning expressive eyes and ears. Of smaller type than 1. Good reach of neck flowing in to level topline, good tail set. Front movement let him down unfortunately as I thought him an easy winner here.
