First into the ring in the cold and pouring rain,  our 10 month old

WIN 1st Excellent in the Intermediate Bitch class with the CAC !

JCH Ramchaine Skyfull of Stars ~ ‘Fuller’ was also full of energy after the long drive to the showground and at first wanted to play about on the soggy wet grass rather than perform!! ...... however when his turn came to showoff in the ring he stood and moved magnificently , striding out around the big ring with his usual flair and effortless power .

WOW!!!  Our sweetie Talulah of the Hellacious Acres had her FIRST

 Championship Show at 11 months of age and made an impressive start

with WINNING 1st Excellent in the Junior class !

 

‘Tulah’ is by Multi Ch Majik Finders Keepers ex our Morwenna of the Hellacious Acres.

Our already good day ,got even better with our bubbly Lyric enjoying EVERY minute of her special time in the ring and WINNING 1st Excellent in the Intemediate class with the CAC & VDH awards.

 

Our young Ozi became 3rd Excellent in the Junior class.

He moved superbly around the big grassy ring but decided he didnt want to eat having far too many butterflies in his stomach with all those girls in season at home and then having met another on heat at the show .....

Fuller was also far too distracted by girls to contemplate food as his reward for standing free or stacked .... so we had to do it without!! The judge wrote :

“impressive dog on the move, with good forward reach and super hind extension, balanced in his angulation both front and rear, firm in topline, has a good head shape and kind expression”  and awarded him 1st Excellent in the Intermediate class with the CAC & VDH awards.

Haydn of the Hellacious Acres belonging to Sven and Alexandra Budde won 1st Excellent in the Champion class.

Ramchaine Parrot Fashion was shortlisted down to the last 5 from a big Open class of 19 bitches. ‘Scarlett’ looked fantastic and in full bloom in the ring standing but chose to play the fool, and kangaroo hop and jump on the move ..... !!!!

She had the best critique of the day .....

“Top Quality cream girl of 2 years. Well matured for her age. Superb in construction. Very beautiful silhuoette. Very well balanced angulations. Wonderful head with excellent proportions. Full and correct bite. Beautiful expression and eyes. Excellent length of neck with a dream of shoulder. Excellent bone and substance. Excellent rib cage. Deep chest. Well developed in body for age. Wonderful level topline with perfect tailset. Very nice underline. Excellent hindquarters. Well muscled behind. Perfect hocks. Excellent coat quality. Very good movement and drive with good head and tail carriage. But needs more training to show all her great points as difficult to judge her movement when her attractability to the handler is so high”

 

Our star of the day was proudest moment was  in our young

Talulah of the Hellacious Acres winning BEST BITCH !!!
