The Welsh Dobermann Club
The Welsh Dobermann Club held a Championship Show at The Cwmbran Stadium on 19th April 2009 where the BCC & BIS was Henderson & Fleming’s Ch Ir Ch Aritaur Hipnotique, RBCC & BPB Burnett, Hall & Mycroft’s Supeta’ Feels Like Heaven at Zuffenhausen, RBIS Bevan’s Khaneve Boyz Night In, BPIS Evans & Morby’s Amazon El Torro and BV Tapply’s Ch Heldenburg Haagen.
I enjoyed a quality entry, it was a day of compromise, I stayed true to my heart and hard decisions had to be made.
I judged the bitches as they were presented on the day, placing them in order of merit to my interpretation of the breed standard. Mouths were good, as were temperaments.
I can only thank the exhibitors for giving me such a good entry and for the excellent sportsmanship on the day.
A well run show by a hard working committee.MPB (6,1):1st Supeta’s Top Totty, Black & rust, good outline and condition, head planes just off slightly at the moment, and would prefer more underjaw, dark eye, very sound front with plenty of depth for her age, lovely neck, topline still to harden, good tailset, she is just a baby and so much will change with maturity, a balanced puppy.
2nd Nerak Sweepstake, another black & rust, stronger in type, this little lady had eaten all the pies! Loads of bone and substance with balanced angulation, she has a lovely shape just needs to lose the puppy fat!
3rd Supeta Hot Totty
PB (6,3):1st Supeta’s Feels Like Heaven at Zuffenhausen, three v nice bitches, this little lady has to be a future star, twelve months on the day, black & rust, clean sharp outline, good head planes, with dark eyes, lovely neck flowing into her flawless topline & tailset, very good front and rear angulation which added to her balance, she has good depth of body with correct ribbing, just so pleasing on the eye, she moved out well with forward reach and drive behind, never put a foot wrong in the challenge pushing an excellent bitch very hard, RCC & BPB.
2nd Amazon Sydique, a little unsettled today which seemed to affect her movement, she is another top quality bitch, black & rust, very strong with a lovely outline, again with balanced angulation, unfortunate to meet one in such good form.
3rd Jojavik Blousey Brown
JB (15,1) A really strong class with some excellent bitches, bodes well for the future :1st Supeta’s Feels Like Heaven at Zuffenhausen

UGB(3):1st Malibray Lia Fail, 4th in JB, black & rust, strong girl who again has a balanced outline, handler tended to push her head back spoiling her neck & backline which detracted from the overall picture, that said when she was correct she looked very good, another with balance, sound mover.

3rd Leibwache Sunset Stripper
LB(14,1)A strong class with quality in depth, when judging it was a case of compromise, hard decisions were made, : 1st Aritaur Tarantella, black & rust, judged her last as a puppy, she has matured on well, another with balance, good head with dark expressive eyes, correct angulation front and rear, a strong but elegant bitch, correct topline & tailset, moved well, just lacked sparkle in the challenge.
2nd Ottia Dora The Explorer, sharp clean outline, very well put together, rock hard topline with balanced angulation, moved well.
3rd Supeta’s Missy Elliot
OB(14,2) Another very strong class, 1st Ch. Ir. Ch. Aritaur Hipnotique, I have judged this bitch before and given her top honours then , she is the ultimate show girl and returning from whelping a litter she was in tip top condition with not a hint of her maternity duties showing! She is very balanced, with a classic outline. Beautiful crested neck flowing into her slightly sloping topline, front and rear angulation complement each other to add to the balance, she shows herself so well never putting a foot out of place, she is just so pleasing on the eye, she moved out very well. This was another very strong class, she had that extra little sparkle to tip the balance on the day to take the CC & in agreement with my co-judge BIS, a credit to her owners.
2nd Ch Amazon Devil Wears Prada, different type to 1, black and rust, another with a very clean outline, v stylish and balanced, v good front and rear angulation, moved v well.
3rd Ch Ch. Vanhallen Black Velvet with Darkiss
VB(4,1) Three lovely bitches all a credit to their very caring owners, I hope they stay as young and fit as they were today for a good many years to come, 1st Jowendy’s Enuf Said for Supeta, black and rust, eight years young, she still retains her clean sharp outline, strong backline and good tailset, good angulation fore and aft, moved out steady and true.
2nd Ebrill Chocolate Orange at Tackstone, strong brown lady, in tip top condition, lovely outline with strong bone, moved out v well.
