Championship Show 2017 - Judge Gabriela van Ruiten Hajnová

It was a great honour for me to judge at the first championship show of the UK Cesky Terrier Club and I was really pleased with the high entry of 41 dogs.

My Best in Show is close to a perfect picture of a Cesky Terrier: a well made & well muscled hunting terrier in a well-groomed show jacket. I’m sure she could win anywhere, even in the country of origin of the breed.

Junior Dog:
1st Cat. Nr. 33: Janski Promises Jones
Very well presented young dog, not as confident in this rather noisy hall as I would like to see, but with a lot of qualities. Correct size & proportions; very nice outlines; long, masculine head with slightly larger ears, scissor bite; elegant neck, correct slightly arched loins; well set& well carried tail; easy mover with good reach; nice silky coat, very well groomed, good colour for his age
2nd Cat. Nr. 15: Janski Philosopher Dajaces
Young dog with a great temperament, presented to the perfection; correct proportions, but his size is unfortunately too large; strong masculine head, expression would be much better with smaller ears; scissor bite, would prefer a higher number of premolars. Elegant neck, just enough arch over de loins, correct rather low set tail. Correct placement of the shoulder; slightly out at the elbows, caused by bit wide front, which could be more straight. Brisk movement. Correct silky coat, good colour for his age.

Post graduate dog
1st Cat. Nr. 6: Ashleyheath’s Dark Cloud
Somewhat feminine-looking dog, of excellent size; not very confident in the ring Prefer a bit longer head; nice, medium sized ears; scissor bite. Correct topline with elegant neck and arch over the loins; well set tail & well angulated with a good reach in the movement. Coat of correct silky structure, but not in the best condition and grooming. I still see enough quality and type.

Limit dog
1st Cat. Nr. 29: Janksi Ossie Jones at Polede
Very well presented, selfconfident, masculine dog of excellent proportions and outlines. Long, strong head, ears slightly  larger, scissor bite. Very nice topline: going fluently from elegant neck, well set in the shoulders, over well ribbed brisket, strong, slightly arched loins to the correct rather low set tail. Moves very well, in rear better than in the front. Beautiful pale silky coat Reserve Dog CC
2nd Cat. Nr. 35: Janski Miloslav

Elegant neck, correct shoulders and nice, slightly arched topline with rather low tailset. Just a fraction wide in the front, moves well both going and coming.

Dog who took my attention with his temperament and confidence. He has just the right size and proportions. Masculine head with nice, medium sized ears and scissor bite. Elegant neck, correct shoulders, topline with just enough arch over de loins, slightly higher tailset & tailcarriage at movement. Moves very well. Quality coat, would prefer better grooming.
