First Show Saturday Nov.4 A stinking freezing day in Scottyland.Ms Woodentop picked Kay Yawns bitch SMMFS for B.O.B.Guess what -nowhere in group.Dog ticket a dog bred by Drinkypoos Gal Roam Caelum. Next day LASER Nov 5 After all the rain they were lucky with the dry weather and so were we as the fire alarms kept going off usually in the middle of judging.These two lady judges should have discussed their method of judging with the stewards before they started as it was a shambles.Their lecture should be a laugh!In the dog ring the poor steward was sending dogs out of the ring as finished with and the judge was calling them back in.Well they cant even organise an election so what do you expect! Its amazing how a judge from the US of A can pick out Brendly,Flantasa and Piroette CC winner Pirouette Naz In the bitch ring a judge from Aussyland was even more confusing what with throwing out the good movers and keeping the erratic movers in the ring.Kay Yawn had the bitch ticket with her Ch.SMMFJ a good weekend for her. This week I am mostly taking a rest as SezLez has said it all for me.In his column Nov 10 he highlights the problems we have with the judges now next week will he name names or shall we guess who he is talking about? | First Show | |||||||||||||||||||

So far this year most of the judges have fullfilled their judges contracts but there are a few omissions. I am surprised that the Rottweiler Club has not obtained a critique from Mrs Hubthanall? the bitch judge! at their show. Also with all the resignations at Blackpool,I suppose they didnt notice no critique by the wife of Letcher Lewis, Mrs Nora Batty Lewis. As for the Wonderful South Western, Mr Priceless has failed to ensure that their judge of TWO open shows(June wet lettuce Webb) has not written one critique.Or is he blaming this on the Breed Council! DEATH OF THE GENERAL OPEN SHOW Are we witnessing the death of open shows.Just read the entries in the press.At LEICESTER, 4 classes with two cash prizes of £5 each ,only two dogs present.Many show have no entries at all.Why is this? Is it because these days everyone wants instant success at Championship Shows and they feel there is no kudos with a win at open shows,or is it the crap judging by so called breed specialists? EASTERN COUNTIES ROTTWEILER OF THE YEAR. What a strange situation Keelover travels to Ireland to qualify! Margaret Everton the judge calls in sick at the last minute,Kath Hindley gets desperate for a judge and is just about to phone Les (don't mention Jagen) Price when Brain comes to the rescue with a good all rounder.No not Tommy Gibberish but a Mr Newton who gave the Flantasa dog Rude Emerald the title of Dog of the Year for England.The Scottish show was held on the same night! A little bird tells me that South Western Rot Club have elected two new vice presidents(must have been an early A.G.M.)Yes the Smitts are great fans of Jagen dogs,perhaps thats how they became Vice Presidents. Another Jagen fan is Dieter Bedsprung,who is now a committe member(long way to go for committe meetings) I expect all fellow committe members will hire a coach to Manchester Ch.Show to support his judging and collect any tickets that may come their way. Today is the 5th Dec,my prediction for dog ticket at LKA is Dollarslite and bitch ticket Flantasa ,so all you hopefulls have wasted your entry fees. LKA Top Rottweiler Breeder 2000 Liz Blonde Kerl nearly gets B.I.S. Well what a fiasco for once again I was wrong! Dollarslite won his open class but the judge mistakenly tripped and gave the ticket to Flantasa Heavy Mottle.What a dog to win the group and then go reserve best in show.Good old Tommy Gibson he can certainly pick a winner,and next show he may remember to pick up his bins! 300 dogs for a doddery old man in his brown demob suit is farcical. It was nice to see old friends at the show showering me with Xmas cards. Les even managed to take time off from moving home(I wonder why) no wonder he's no time to write his breed notes. As for the bitch judging ducks words fail me. # # # # HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL MY READERS , LOOK FORWARD TO STEWARDING NEXT TO YOUR ROTTIE RINGS IN 2001 ##################January 2001 a quiet month only the noise of knives being inserted into the backs of fellow committee members as they all jostle for top positions at the upcoming A.G.M. and try to find judges to serve on their sub committes. Is it worth attending-I don't think so! | ||||||||||||||||||||
