report
Vandermolen & Newcomb’s Ch/Am G Ch Lafford Fly Me too
Farleysbane, this class was absolutely fabulous but a
challenge. A real headache to sort out & sad to say I had to be
very firm & make decisions basing them on all the qualities I
was looking for & not forgiving fronts, or shyness in any way.
There were one or two not to my mind typical with bodies too
long & out of balance, or just oversized & lacking the
refinement I was looking for. I moved the class in two sections
so that everybody had sufficient room to show off the attributes
of their dogs. Yes I recognised the winner as fourth in the
group under me at Crufts in 2012 & at that time I did not know I
had given him his CC at LKA in 2009. At 6 years old I was amazed
to find that I still could not get past him. He is just lovely
in every way. He is beautiful in size & daintiness & yet there
is no weediness whatsoever, he has firm body & loin under the
glamorous silky coat. He has a beautiful head & muzzle with
large mobile ears well placed & dripping fringes. The flow from
head & neck & shoulders into topline & tailset down to his
lovely feet all just flow. He is in lovely condition, muscled
thighs. I could not fault him moving either way & he looks as if
he can do it on & on. Delightful temperament, delightful
exhibit, I was proud to see him representing the breed in the
main ring & his manners there were as good as in the breed ring.
He did have to pull out the stops against the bitch. I gather
this is the third year he has won BOB? The second of the
breed to do this. Congratulations to all involved. CC & BOB.
