Show Manager's Report
"This was my first year as show manager of the SNC Open Show and the Club's sixth show and what an entry we had - 115 dogs, making 132 entries. To say I was pleased was an understatement! Luckily we had two judges officiating this year.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, our bitch judge, Marion Sargent did not arrive in time to place her 70 entries so our Special Awards Champions Class judge, Joe Smith ably stood in as her replacement and he, along with Debbie Stansbury who judged tghe dogs did a sterling job of placing this fantastic entry. Luckily Marion did arrive later in the morning, so she judged the Special Awards Champions Class in Joe's place.
Cheryl Payne officiated as our Junior Handling judge and as we have come to expect Nicole Owles did not let her down with another exceptional display of handling. Well done Nicole.
I also have to give a HUGE thank you to all of the SNC committee and helpers who worked their socks off all day on the Saturday and to those who came to help set up on the Friday afternoon. Special thanks to our ring stewards for doing such a great job and giving their time so freely to help out on the day and also to Paul Dodd for all of the wonderful photos. I could never have achieved any of this without your help and it was greatly appreciated.
Finally a massive well done to all our winners and to everyone who entered their lovely dogs into the show and hope to see you all again next year.
"

Dogs
Judged by Mrs. Debbie Stansbury (Woodbriar)

My observations were that the breed has an issue with front construction and often in the rear movement too. I noted the White & Blacks at the show today, seemed to have sounder front and rear movement than the other colours. I found, on the whole, heads to be beautiful, in proportion and having dark eyes, lay back of shoulder to be good with some just a little short in upper arm and most with good bone.
I love this breed and to see them stacked is a joy to behold and then to see them moving in profile freely and covering ground - Wow! Presentation was excellent and temperaments were exemplary as you would expect.
I thank the exhibitors for giving me the chance to handle their beautiful dogs and for taking my decisions with good grace. My thanks to the Officers and Committee, my Stewards and to the exhibitors for making my visit one of the best ever and one I won't forget in a hurry.

1st |
Ch. MORRELHAM HIGHLAND PARK, JW ShCM
I thought this 3 year old quality male was absolutely balanced with nothing over or under done. He has a beautiful head and dark eye, he has a good lay back of shoulder with a good length and return of upper arm with a good length of well boned front legs, deep long ribcage and strong loin. His good construction enabled him to move soundly, freely, holding his backline on the move and covering ground in profile. Presented to perfection.

Ch. SWANPOOL TI AMO PASTICCINO, JW
5 year old black and just my cup of tea. This is my idea of what a top quality Newfoundland should be. She has the classical outline of the breed, superb feminine head with lovely expression. Strong neck with slight arch into the withers, correct topline and tailset. Good front assembly. Strong bone with correct pasterns and feet. Good depth and width of chest correct rib and loin, sound rear with well muscled upper thigh. She showed so well and moved soundly I loved her. Pleased to see her win the Special Award Champions class under Marion Sargeant. I seem to remember admiring another of this exhibitors dogs Franki Dettori?

4 yr old black bitch, lovely in profile, well balanced, lovely head with good shaped eye, just slightly light for preference but this didn't deter from expression, good short muzzle, broad skull, strong neck, good depth of chest, correct angles front and rear, good ribbing and strong loin. Thought this girl held her topline well, strong rear, with good turn of stifle, good sized webbed feet, moved out so well in all directions.

2nd |
Ch. SHERIDEL ACARA ACADIA
Another 4 year old black bitch, was really splitting hairs between these two, as both are such worthy Champions, again, lovely profile, so well balanced, lovely head with good dark eye, nice small ears which were well set on abroad skull. Strong neck, going into well angulated shoulders, good strong front and rear, good depth of chest, good ribbing and strong loin, topline wasn't as good as 1st, well angulated rear and stifle, good coat, although this bitch moved well, today I preferred the movement of 1st.
|
3rd |
Ch. MORRELHAM HIGHLAND PARK, JW ShCM
Again 4yr old black, the only boy in the class and one I have judged before. An upstanding male, who is so worthy of his title, but just had to settle for 3rd behind the two girls. Lovely head and expression, good eye and ear set, good short muzzle, nice angles front and rear and stood four square, good coat and good feet. Good coat, today, I just preferred the outline and the movement of the girls.
