Judge:  Mrs. Jackie Perkins - Gardenway Vizslas (UK)
"My thanks to Steve Quinn, Ros Leighton, my very efficient steward Eric Temlett and the Committee of the HVCNSW Inc. for all the hard work which went into making my judging appointment at your Championship show so enjoyable.  I also appreciate the sporting way in which the exhibitors took my decisions.

Overall Impressions:
I had many very good dogs to go over and I was pleased with my class and eventual in-show winners.  However, some dogs before me had faults which gave me cause for concern.  I saw several with short upper arms, upright fronts and shallow chests.  Lack of angulation on the forehand does not auger well in regard to soundness/stamina in a gundog expected to be able to go all day.  In addition, there were some with slack pasterns and open feet.  Please try and eliminate these faults before they become the norm.  I would also like to have seen cleaner teeth in some of the exhibits.  All temperaments were, without exception, what I would expect from the Vizsla.

Baby Puppy Dog (3 entries)
1st - Hungargunn Modjo (Cragg)
Five months, lovely shape, showed and moved well.  Sweet head and expression, darkening eye.  Moderate angulation front and rear, good depth of chest, straight front and parallel rear, colour okay.  Handled well.
2nd - Tanashka Magus Krackajak (Quinn)
4.5 months, very babyish pup.  Good conformation front and rear.  Nice head and good eye, good colour, moved well although still so loose, but a promising pup.
3rd - Kimlise Reilly Viane (Jolley)
5 months, good overall shape and depth, good angulation front and rear.  A little "easty-westy" on pasterns and a bit elbowy and untidy on the move.  However, they will probably change places many times.

Puppy Dog (4 entries, 2 absent)

1st - Belabartok Always Jethro (Taylor)
Puppy in Show
1 year.  Nicely made with a good length of upper arm and good depth of chest.  Expressive head on good reach of neck leading to well placed shoulders.  Good body proportions, not overdone in any way.  Moved well with straight front action and was good behind too.  Best puppy in show.
 

2nd - Palaway Salam Pax (Macken)
9 months.  Bigger pup, stood over ground well, not so deep in chest as winner and a bit loose on the move as a result.  Very light eye at present and rather high tail set.

Junior Dog (2 entries)

1st - Tanashka Acepak Herman (Quinn)
Junior in Show
17.5 months.  Strong dog well made and good colour.  Good depth of chest and plenty of bone.  Well angulated fore and aft, slightly roman nosed but won on overall movement.
 

2nd - Hanafor Time To Declare (Harris)
13 months.  Lots to like about him but just showing lack of maturity.  At the "teenage" stage, preferred his head to the winner.  Could do with a little more depth and was somewhat loose on the move.  Good angulation front and rear, would like to see him when he's older.

Intermediate Dog (6 entries, 1 absent)

1st - Ch Iceana Gold Point (Mallinson)
Intermediate in Show
Well made dog, not overdone, good proportions.  Good head and eye, good reach of neck into well laid shoulders.  Straight front with good length of upper arm and depth of chest.  Strong rear, moved well.
 

2nd - Ch Hungargunn Bear Itn Mind (Cragg)
Another lovely dog with lots to like about him.  Beautiful head and expression, well proportioned with good front and rear, stood over ground well.  Hard decision but handler tended to over-extend him and I just preferred the overall picture of the winner.
3rd - Ch Graebrook Dzina Dorian (Graebrook Knls)
Finer sort.  Nice head and expression, good length of neck into well placed shoulders but lacks depth and very upright in upper arm.  However, he was in balance front and rear and moved okay.

Australian Bred Dog (8 entries, 2 absent)

1st - Ch Tanashka Red Ochre Bazel (Quinn)
Reserve Challenge Dog
Australian Bred in Show
RUNNER-UP BEST IN SHOW
Lovely type, well made and put together.  Masculine head and expression, good reach of neck into clean shoulders.  Good proportions, balanced fore and aft and moved as I expected.

 

2nd - Ch Kimlise Lennor (Neaves)
Compact sort, good colour, masculine head with good eye.  Good neck and well proportioned body.  Handler did not get the best out of him on the stack but moved well.  Just preferred the elegance of the winner.
3rd - Vizamy Ash (Butler)
Again a different sort.  Masculine head on good reach of neck, a little straighter in front but rear angulation okay.

Open Dog (4 entries, 2 absent)


1st - Gr Ch Hanabrit Ponting The Way (Imp UK) (Harris)
Challenge Dog / Open in Show
BEST IN SHOW
Well made dog.  Masculine head and expression with clean neck leading into good shoulders.  Correct depth of chest and length of upper arm.  A scopy dog nicely put together and standing over his ground well.  Moved with drive and very good feet.
 

2nd - Ch Erdos Centre Court (Barnett)
Different sort, bigger all through, although not coarse.  Finer head and long reach of neck, longer in loin and with a rather short dock.  Moved well if a little close behind.  Overall though, a nice dog.

Veteran Dog (3 entries, 1 absent)
1st - Ch Hanafor Bendick Murrell CD (Harris)
Nearly 8yo.  Lovely head, good neck and shoulders, moderate angulation front and rear.  A bit loose in front but still showing quality when stacked and on the move.
2nd - Ch Hanafor Master Gyles CD (Orzeszko)
12yo and giving the years away today.  Sweet head and expression, nice type but different from the winner.  Good proportions, just a bit upright in front.  Moved okay.

Baby Puppy Bitch (4 entries)

1st - Hungargunn Miss Teeq (Cragg)

2nd - Kimlise Ranen Raasia (Neaves)
Lovely pup and same remarks apply just not so mature as winner.  Correct colour and moved well.
3rd - Tanashka Magus Taita (Hine/Quinn)

Scopy bitch of lovely type.  Feminine head and expression, well made and put together, balanced all through.  Moved with drive on excellent feet.

Bitch of smaller type but still very nice.  Could have easily stood first today but in season and movement not so good.  Nice head and eye, good depth and angulation.  Balanced all through.
3rd - Ch Tazlon Elari Cricket (Ellis)
Smaller type and stockier.  Feminine head and expression, moderate angulation front and rear and good depth.  Moved with drive but front pasterns not so good.

Another lovely bitch from this kennel.  Beautifully made and put together.  Lovely head and expression, good depth, topline and tail set.  Balanced all through.

Nice bitch, finer in head.  Good neck and shoulders, good depth of chest and well angulated front and rear.  Moved well as I expected she would.

Veteran Bitch (4 entries, 1 absent)   

1st - Ch Kimlise Isobella Ximenex (Harris & Stading)
Bitch Challenge
Veteran in Show
8yo.  Lovely sort, good angulation all through and plenty of depth.  Lovely head and good reach of neck.  Well proportioned and balanced.  Moved with drive to take the class and BCC and Best Veteran in Show.
 

2nd - Ch Kimlise Ronay (Neaves)
Reserve Bitch Challenge
10yo.  I see she is the dam of my winner and is therefore of similar type and the same remarks apply.  Just carrying a little extra weight but could not deny her the Res CC.
 

3rd - Ch Nari Nema Vega (Bailey/French)
10yo.  Another lovely type.  Sweet head and expression, moved around the ring like a train - a Veteran to be proud of - just giving age away.
