Judge Elizabeth Millward

Thank you to my steward, the society and exhibitors for supporting me in my first time awarding CC’s within this breed. Although the quantity may have been low, the quality made up for it. I was looking for an Apso with the correct balanced shape and movement and was pleased to see that my final line up presented me with this.

Junior Dog (6, 2 abs)
1. Clutterbuck & Cain Kutani Hamilton, black 12 month old male who took my eye immediately as he entered the ring, had the balanced shape that I was looking for. Beautiful head with medium shaped dark oval eye, head furnishing over the eye, correct broad bite with teeth in alignment, arched neck with the required arch into shoulder, good forechest and depth, straight forelegs, level topline, balanced angulation front and rear, round cat like feet, tail set on high, moved with that free and jaunty movement, presented to perfection, pushed really hard for top honours but just gave it away on maturity to the open male. Certainly, one for the future and one I will watch. RCC.

Open Bitch (5) What can I say about this class, I just loved judging it, was so lucky to have such quality bitches entered under me, was nit-picking when it came down to the final placings. Would happily award a CC to quite a few of the bitches in this class, just unlucky to meet the veteran bitch who was on sparkling form today.
1. Clutterbuck & Cain Ch Kutani Showoff, a beautiful feminine black and white parti of correct size, one that I have admired from the ringside, beautiful head with medium size oval eye, correct head proportions, correct bite, broad and bite in alignment, good length of neck, strong and arched, well laid shoulder, straight forelegs, good forechest and depth, correct body proportions, well ribbed with short loin, level topline, high set tail, parallel hocks, balanced angulation both front and rear which she uses on the move, long coat of correct texture and heavy head furnishings, round cat like feet, moved with that free and jaunty required action. Pleased to award her the RCC.
2. O’Doherty Ch Marnbri Tiger Lily Under Autumnspell JW, another quality gold bitch from the top drawer who again I have admired from ringside, am so lucky to have had the opportunity to go over such quality bitches, this feminine gold girl is such a showgirl and like my veteran bitch does not show her age, I loved her attitude and character. This girl is presented to perfection with the required coat texture and furnishings. Beautiful head and eye, good pigmentation, correct bite, broad and in alignment, good length of neck into well laid shoulder, good angulation front and rear, good forechest and depth, correct body proportions, straight forelegs, good depth, short loin, level topline, good hind angulation, parallel hocks, high set tail, demonstrated that free and jaunty movement.
