THE BARBADOS KENNEL CLUB All Breeds Championship Show 8 th October 2006 Judge Mr. Derek Smith Critique It feels great to be back in Barbados to judge for the second time. Always a special place, the Island holds many memories for me. It was also wonderful to meet old and new friends. Again, as usual the Barbadian welcome and hospitality was second to none. The entry of 109 dogs was much appreciated. For Best in Show, from a quality line up I chose the Rhodesian Ridgeback, Ch. Cennenridge Zalika. Very handsome male on top form, full of quality, lovely head on strong neck, so well balanced and so very sound. Never put a foot wrong all day and looked a picture with the sun shining on his well conditioned, rich coloured coat. Excellent ridge too! Reserve Best in Show was the German Shepherd dog bitch Shotaan Asia at Seiunchin. Again full of quality and in sparkling condition, very well proportioned, good ratios and just right for body condition, lovely head, good neck, firm topline, sound going and coming and excellent gait, smooth, even and with power. Superbly handled to get the very best from her. Best Locally Bred in Show was the Great Dane bitch Ch. Edenwood Coriolanus. Black masked very dark fawn, presented a quality picture from any angle, lovely head, eye and mouth, balanced outline, very sound and very outgoing with a touch of dash and dare about her. Would just like a touch more weight on her. Best Puppy in Show and also Best Locally Bred Puppy was the Bouvier Calliope Rhapsody. She also won CC and Reserve Best of Breed. Such a sound fluid mover, very pretty head with darkest of eyes, lovely ribbing and excellent outline. All topped with a good quality, well presented coat.
