Crufts 2017

Judge – Ms E King

First of all I would like to thank my lovely stewards, my mates Gary and Jeff, I would also like to thank all exhibitors who came under me today. I must say I went in the ring and felt very honoured to have your lovely dogs to go over. I have not judged Clumbers for 4 years so I had no idea what I would be getting and what I was going to do, but I had lovely dogs and that made it hard for me as there are not enough red cards. Bit concerned with teeth, some bites a bit dicey. For me some ears not as clean as they should be. Some dogs have too much weight which showed in the movement. So once again, thank you. Remember, it’s a hobby and we all take the best dog home.

11 month old lovely puppy. Head needs to develop a bit more but he had clean eyes and good dentition. Good depth but still bit loose on front. Lovely length of body. Enjoying himself and on the move kept his top line and tail set. Presented well.

1st Anbrook Burma Star At Brazenhill - Newsham
Watched this handsome boy for a while and going over him was not disappointed. Lovely broad head, lovely stop, good bite and clean eyes. Typical Clumber expression. Great in front and well padded pasterns. Well off for bone. Good length in body & neck. Well low in hocks & stifles. Lovely outline. Moved well but I have seen him move better than he did today.
2nd Micklemess Making Music At Clumbadan - Rudbach
Another lovely boy but not as well off for bone as 1. Head not as broad as I would have liked to have seen but he has time to mature. Not as long in length and down on pasterns, today it showed in movement.

1st SH CH/IR SH CH Richley Royale Bond - Dunne
Well this lovely dog made me so proud to go over him. I found everything I wanted in a typical old type. I would say I may be corrected but to me he had a great mature head, clean eyes, great stop, clean dentation & clean ears. Lovely neck leading to a great front. Lovely chest & rib space. Lovely hocks & great stifles. Well off for bone. Nice tight feet. Presented in A1 condition as always from his owner. He never faulted on the move round the ring keeping his level top line and tail set was perfect. It was an honour to award him the Dog CC & Best of Breed and to send him through to the group as a true specimen of our breed which fitted the Breed Standard. I loved him could have taken him home with me.

Another great dog. Great in head and lovely Clumber expression. Clear eyes, good bite, nice stop. Good bone, lovely length, great in stifles, tight feet. In beautiful condition. Moved round the ring but seemed to favour his tail a bit for me. I would like to say the presentation was excellent as always from this kennel. 1 & 2 will change places many times. Res CC.
3rd SH CH Tweedsmuir Dambuster JW - Monaghan
Another beautiful dog and I know now why he is the joint breed record holder. Such a great specimen of the breed. Great in head. Lovely mature boy. Good bite, clean eye & ears. Well off for bone. Straight in front, good chest, ribs & length. Thought he didn’t move as good today as I have seen him before but he kept his top line and lovely tail set. Maybe the heat got to him, It got to me as well. Still love him.
