Critique for ASCUK Open Shows 2001
Judge:- Mr T.Thorn
BEST IN SHOW:- Am.Ch Thornapple Climate Controlled (Imp USA)
RESERVE BEST IN SHOW:- Accra Circle of Light at Kapia
BEST PUPPY IN SHOW:- Accra Upping The Ante
BEST VETERAN IN SHOW:- Accra Circle of Light at Kapia
What a smashing show ! No less than 95 dogs made up a total entry of 170. Breed type and quality was abundant, surely this is more proof that the increased popularity makes the Aussie more than ready for CC status. Full marks must go to the Secretary, Committee and Show Manager for the superb organisation. Sharing the hall with the American Cocker Spaniel Club certainly had its advantages. The audience was very sporting with it applause of the winners.
Minor Puppy Dog
1st Ozzypools Red Hogan - Very promising 8 month old red. Quite forward for age, typical head, eyes and ears. Good front when standing, nice medium neck. good rear angulation and sound hocks. Stands well balanced, just needs to tighten up a shade at the elbows when moving.
2nd Ozzypools Tigers Eye - This 8 month old red is very immature and racy for his age. Pleasing in head, eyes, ears and neck. Fairly good front with moderate bone. Needs to develop in ribcage and body. Good topline and croup. best mover in the class. Should grow to be quite useful.
3rd Brynelen Pied Piper
Puppy Dog
1st Accra Have You Heard - 11 month old black tri. Lovely head properties and ideal ears. Good straight front, strong oval bone, good depth of chest for age. Just enough ribcage, good topline and read angulation. Stands nicely balanced, moved the best in the class.
2nd Lyveden Rojal Redcloud of Timberhall - Quality red merle and a super sound dog to go over. Pleasing in head neck, good strong bone. nice body and ribcage and well angulated in rear. Lost out in front movement to the winner on the day.

1st Accra Whybe Doodle in Overdrive CDex UDex WDex - 9 years old blue merle. Absolutely super all through and showing like a Junior. So well balanced and typical, he was one of the best movers of the day especially with his ground covering gait. Lovely head, neck, front and rear angulation. Shown in superb condition for his age.
2nd Mareith Dolyndens Best at Ausden - 8 year old red. High in breed type and quality but lost out to the winner in firmness in front, otherwise a very nice dog all through and a great credit to his owner for his lovely condition.

2nd Brynelen Pie In The Sky - Blue merle litter sister of 1. Lovely temperament with a pleasing feminine head. She can still strengthen up a little in front and this is reflected in her movement. Needs to develop in chest and ribs.

2nd Accra Joint Forces - At 11 months old, this black tri just loses out on maturity here but never the less shows lots of promise for the future. Impresses in head, eye, earset and neck but needs to firm up in front especially on the move. Good depth, topline and rear angulation with nice side gait.
