BITCHES:


I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge their Championship show: everything went off splendidly considering there were 2 shows in one day! I would like to also thank both of my stewards who did a splendid job on the day. Also to all the exhibitors for giving me the opportunity to go over their lovely dogs.

Once again, I struggled to find dogs of the correct proportions of nine to ten. Breeders really do need to look at this in their breeding programs as we are losing this so much in our breed. When you look at a Rottweiler they should be almost square – not rectangle as so many of them are unfortunately.

Temperaments were excellent on the day which of course is always a huge bonus. Head types differ so much from each animal and I think this is probably due to people using a lot of European bloodlines unlike years ago when kennels did a lot of line breeding. You could always see which dogs were from which kennel unlike now. I do understand that kennels do need to go out sometimes due to lack of suitable stud dogs here but as long as we try and keep to within the breed standard there shouldn’t be a problem.


I was really pleased with my main winners and quite often I had to make some very difficult decisions in my placings.

VB (5 entries: 4 absent)
1st        Robinson’s Ch Guardami Guarding Tess at Tazmanic
Lovely 8 yr old girl of medium size who can still show the youngsters how to move. Her side gait movement is excellent with correct reach and drive holding her shape. Correct level top and underline with a good tail. She has a clean outline without any rolls or exaggeration. Feminine head with medium eye and calm expression. Medium sized ears carried correctly. Pigment is mottled with correct dentition. Her overall condition is excellent and is a credit to her owners.

MPB (3:0)
1st        Austen’s Ausries  Mojito
6 month old puppy of excellent type with sufficient bone and substance for a youngster. Very pretty head with correct proportions. Dark almond shaped eyes, medium ears carried correctly.  Correct dentition with good mouth pigment. She has a lovely calm expression. Correct length of neck leading to clean withers and good topline although she can go a little bum high on the move but I’m sure this will improve with age. She moved well with a good tail. Shown in excellent condition and handled well.  Best Puppy
2nd        Burnett’s Nakota Nanna
8 1/2 month old this puppy was a lot lighter in bone than my first puppy and needs more time to develop. She has a strong but feminine head with a dark eye and an expressive expression. Medium size ears carried close to her cheek. Her feet were rather open toed. Her movement was adequate for her age with a good tail.

PB (2:0)

1st        James & Thompson’s Bamabel Razamataz
9 months old strong but feminine bitch with excellent bone and substance. A very attractive puppy with a strong head medium eye slightly round, ears of correct size carried well and close to her cheek. Correct dentition with dark mouth pigment. Correct length of neck leading to good strong topline and good spring of rib. Well angled fore and aft with correct harsh coat. Moved well but not quite as together as my best puppy but I’m sure they could change places on a different day. Good tail. A very promising puppy.
2nd        Lilley’s Apocalypto Felicia
Very substantial puppy with excellent bone and good feet. Balanced puppy but was rather unsettled on the move so was a little hard to assess, she moved ok holding her topline well. Her front was a little 10 to 2 at the moment but hopefully could strengthen with age. She has an attractive head with a dark slightly round eye. Medium sized ears carried well.

JB (2:0)
1st        Chaffe’s Rougeau Simply Just Valerie
17th months medium/large bitch with rich mahogany markings. Strong but feminine head with a good stop and a little wrinkle on upper skull.  Dark eyes but slightly round. Medium/Large ears which were carried correctly, large nostrils with correct fill on her muzzle.  Full dentition and dark pigment.  Strong bone and good substance. Correct length of neck leading to good topline and correct tail set which was carried well. She moved well in side gait but was a little wide when going away.
2nd        Richards’s Hanbar Enigma at Ruiz

YB (4:1)
1st        Mulhall’s Troya of the Little Godfather (Imp Hrv) NAF
This bitch excels in head qualities with a dark almond shaped eye and large ears carried correctly. Correct full dentition and dark mouth pigment. Good stop and large nostrils clean in upper skull. Excellent bone with rich markings and good feet. Correct conformation but a little long in loin. Excellent moving bitch with good reach and drive but dips behind the withers which for me spoiled her outline. Good tail set and carriage and handled well.

Large bitch of lovely type excels in head with a beautiful expression although I would prefer a little less wrinkle on her skull. Small dark almond shaped eyes. Medium ears carried correctly.
