PORTUGUESE WATER DOG

Judge: Mr Jose M Doval

I would like to thank all the exhibitors for their great sportsmanship, as well as the excellent overall quality of the Cao's I have had the pleasure of judging. Without a doubt the quality of the breed in the United Kingdom is among the best in the world.

Class 245 PD (2 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 724 WILLIAMS, Mr Byron & NEWTON, Ms Louise G Rarjo Captain Curl MacDuff

Curly coated dog of great quality and very nice structure. Lovely angulations, very balanced. He has a nice head and a great movement for his age. Just a bit soft in elbows at the moment.

2nd: 712 PURCELL, Ms Christine BELLEVILLE ADDICTED TO YOU

Very happy dog of excellent temperament. Nice, typical head with a good neck, shoulders and toppling. Excellent body for his age, only needs a bit “more ring” to control his movement.

1st: 722 THOMPSON-MORGAN, Mrs C & MORGAN, Mr E Belleville Salva Vidas

A dog full of quality, even still a bit immature but showing all his potential. Lovely type and structure, almost square and with a very nice head. Excellent coat, body and angulations. Moves very well.

2nd: 725 WILLIAMS, Mr Byron & NEWTON, Ms Louise G Rarjo The Great Wave MacDuff

A very young dog with a good future in front. Nice head and excellent angulations. Could be a bit more compact but has a remarkably nice rear conformation. Very happy in the movement.

1st: 710 MARDLE, Mrs G R & BARTON, Mrs D A AULDHELM CHARMED ONE

Brown dog of very nice proportions and a good picture of the breed. Could be a bit bigger to me, specially for a male, but has some nice qualities like a nice head and an excellent coat in top condition. Good, easy mover.

1st: 715 SMITH, Miss Joanne Oakholme Imperial Wizard

My star of the day. Lovely type with excellent balance all over. Nice outline without exaggerations. Very nice coat and head. I like very much his front and shoulders and exactly the same for rear angulations, so, what else?, he has a great movement effortless and keeping a perfect toppling all the time.

Not only my CC (his crowning one!) and BOB, icing the cake with a 3rd in the Group under Mr. John Ritchie.

2nd: 719 THOMPSON-MORGAN, Mrs C & MORGAN, Mr E Ch Belleville Anjo Negro

Another superb dog, as usual for this kennel, with all the basics wanted in a Cao. Nice type and proportions and also an excellent mover. Rear angulation could be a bit more moderate.

Now a veteran, but still looking and performing as a younger one. Good quality and in excellent condition. Balanced angulations and in top muscular condition. Very expressive eyes, correct coat and another good mover.

Class 252 PB (3 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 716 SMITH, Miss Joanne Belleville Snooze You Lose

What a beautiful pup! Love her outline and proportions, showing all the typical points of the breed. Very expressive, with a nice head and body, she has a wonderful coat and moves very well. A serious contender for the awards today, she has a bright future in front.

2nd: 714 SLACK, Miss Megan & NEWTON, Ms Glenda & WILLIAMS, Rarjo MacDuff Making Waves With Megulcie

Another one with a lot of future, showing her quality today. Good type, coat and head, moving very well, specially with a great hindquarters action, but could be a bit firmer in croup.

2nd: 704 GRAHAM, Mrs Jessica Belveduese Over The Rainbow of Joseiki

Just seen in the previous class. Correct type with good size and proportions and a very good head. Still a bit soft she has correct angulations and moves well but a bit out of control from time to time.

3rd: 702 BISS, Miss L A Ankors Aria

Class 254 PGB (2 Entries) Abs: 0

1st: 709 MARDLE, Mrs G R & BARTON, Mrs D A AULDHELM MISS MARPLE

Small girl of nice type and very nice outline. She has a feminine, sweet and expressive head, very good coat and excellent movement. She could be a bit more compact and strong in loin.

1st: 711 PIKE & CARTER, Mrs & Mrs Julie & Ashlie Breezelyn Top Hat N' Tails

Nice and very feminine lady of good type and correct proportions. Nice outline with balanced angulations, mature body and very good mover. Could be a bit stronger in muzzle.

2nd: 707 KIRK, Mrs Laura & KIRK, Mr James Belleville crazy in love of Belezaflor JW

Excellent type with one of the best heads of the day. Compact in loin with good angulations, she has a nice typical coat and a good head. Still is a bit soft all over and needs only time to mature. Correct movement.

1st: 721 THOMPSON-MORGAN, Mrs C & MORGAN, Mr E Ch Belleville Anjo De Noite

Wow!… The handler/owner/breeder says she has 12 years, and I believe her… but looks much younger, still showing all her passion and superb qualities.

A top lady in perfect conditions, with excellent breed type, head, coat and tail. Super mover, she did everything to win the BCC and was very close to even take the breed.
