2007 National Specialty - Warwick, RI - April 23-28, 2007

General Specials CRITIQUE by Barbara Binder:

This was a highly competitive class with lots of quality. On the day, any one of several dogs and bitches in the finals could have won. My veterans bitch. Sky Run Catera, just wouldn't quit showing and was rewarded with Best of Breed. 

Best of Opposite Sex went to Ch. Osdow Av Fjascho. This is an elegant dog, tall and shapely, masculine, wonderful easy gait, strong head and neck into good shoulders and lovely layback of upper arm. Again, a style I love. Correctly bladed bone. 

The Awards of Merit where not given in any particular order. Each and every one of the final dogs where deserving of high honors. Without exception the shape and style, movement and strength were there. In my opinion, they were wonderful representatives of out breed.

It was a true delight to judge this entry. Where there pets in the ring? A few, but a lot of the judging was based on good, better, best. Thank you again for allowing me this great honor. 

I must add a special thank you to Lynda Gillaspey and Loretta Binder-Wheeler for helping to make the week so special for me, and to Irina Terra for the fresh west coast coffee each morning.

DOGS, Veteran 7 Years and Under 10 - CRITIQUE by Barbara Binder

1st Ch. Mascha's Raw Vanilla, Just a few weeks away from 10 years, this dog still had what it takes to win. He's has held his lovely outline, moved out soundly and with purpose. He let down a bit in the Specials class, but it was a long day!

There were several other older gentlemen who could have won on the day, but we can pick only one.

BITCHES, Veteran 7 years and under 10 - CRITIQUE by Barbara Binder

1st Ch. Sky Run Catera, This bitch never let down. At one month shy of 10 years, she was in her prime. She has remarkable foot timing rarely seen; the definition of "effortless". She has a pretty head that flows into a strong yet feminine neck, then into well set shoulders. She still has plenty of topline and a strong loin, correct bladed bone, deep chest, well set hocks and hare feet. A mature coat didn't hurt but probably hid some of her shape. She is a style that I like very much. I was delighted to give her this class and, later, Best of Breed.

Again, she was strongly challenged by several other beautiful bitches. Majenkir Raynbo Dazzle was a close "2nd"

CONFORMATION JUDGE'S GENERAL COMMENTS by Barbara Binder:

Thank You: There is no greater honor for a judge than to be asked to preside over one's national specialty. Thank you to the membership of BCOA for allowing me that privilege. It was the highlight of my life in Borzoi and I enjoyed every moment of the experience.

General Observations:

I have had the chance to watch the tapes of the specialty, thanks to Lynda Gillaspey, and study my notes. In my opinion, the quality of dogs at this nationals was exceptional. While there is no such thing as perfection, I had wonderful choices in almost every class. 

The breed has improved in so many ways over the years. There were very few bad bites and missing teeth. In the dogs who where missing teeth, very few where missing more than one or two premolars, a big improvement from the days of 6 or 7 missing. Heads are a matter of taste within the standard and I can think of no case in this entry where the head was the tie-breaker. I love to see veining in the face and dark almond shaped eyes. These are cosmetic features, but important to breed type.

Shape is important to me and important to the purpose of the breed. All of the dogs who placed had what I consider to be correct shape. There is room in the standard for some variation, but level, sloping or wheel back toplines win not win in my ring, nor will straight fronts and straight or over-angulated rears. I like to feel a hand width between the front legs and strong sternum. I want the elbow at the deepest point of the chest. 

Much of the entry had good muscular loins and deep briskets.

The front should converge to the center on the trot and this was a tie-breaker on a few occasions. I didn't see a lot of crossing or weaving but I did see a few double tracking fronts. Rear movement was mostly acceptable with just a few barrel hocks and "mixer" rears. Only a few dogs carried their tails beyond my acceptance level and these dogs did not place high. 

Side gait is always important in the ring and tells a lot about neck set and carriage, toplines, tail set and front assembly. My winners all had correct side gait with very little up and down motion. Our standard calls for an effortless gait which means that the front and back legs are in sync. A huge, "wide open" side gait is not always effortless. Problems:

Watch the ears. I saw quite a few larger than necessary ears that flopped in the wind. Teeth should be strong and WHITE. White = clean. As usual, fronts on many of the entries can use more return of upper arm. Over grooming was apparent in more than a few entries, under grooming not so much. Clever grooming can bring out the best in the dog without being obvious. Sculpting should be discouraged. Poofing up the hair on the front legs gives the appearance of round bone. A good judge will feel for the truth.

SWEEPSTAKES JUDGE'S GENERAL COMMENTS by Laura Hyatt:

Judging sweepstakes at this year's national was an honor. I enjoyed all of the puppies and veterans entered. It's a rare opportunity for a breeder to actually have one's hands on so many borzoi from all over the country.

Just a couple of comments on the quality as a whole, feet seem to have improved considerably very important for a running dog. There also seems to be better balance front and rear. More improvements, most entries had good bites and nice large teeth and nice underjaws.

I feel our breed is in good shape and good hands. Breeders, keep up the good work.

Veterans

It's tough to judge the veterans on one hand, then on another it's so impressive to see them strut their stuff as if to say to the youngsters "let me show you how it's done." The conditioning of our old ones was outstanding for the most part. Good job, owners of this year's entrants!

FUTURITY JUDGE'S GENERAL COMMENTS by Kimberley Horn-Janek:

What an honor to be chosen by your peers to judge the newest generation of our very special breed. My thanks to the breeders who selected me and the host region which provided a lovely setting for our National Specialty. Also, special thanks to my steward, Karen Mays, who kept things flowing and Kathleen Kapaun for her continued efforts as the Futurity Event Chairperson.

I must admit, I am "old-school". I have been involved in the sport of dogs for thirty-eight years and still believe that the purpose of a dog show is to evaluate breeding stock. I feel there is far too much emphasis on the "show" and far too little placed on rewarding those dogs that exhibit the qualities that make a Borzoi a Borzoi.

Overall, the entries were well conditioned, with some being in excellent hard muscle tone. Most were well presented, clean and moderately groomed. I would like to see more shoulder layback and return of upper arm as a whole with well angulated hind quarters. A few entries had poor feet and I caution the breeders to keep an eye on bites and dentition. I saw too many "off" mouths, including missing teeth (more than two), popped teeth and one wry bite. I can accept popped teeth in a veteran but it gives me cause to worry when I see it in a young exhibit.

On the stand, I want each part to flow into the next, from the nose to the tail. On the move, I look for an effortless, ground-covering stride. I tend to be more forgiving on the down and back if the side movement is there. I want my dogs to be masculine and my bitches to be feminine. Always, always, always, well laid back shoulders, elegance with strength and color immaterial. Someone once told me that if the shoulders are there, the rest will follow. I have found this to be true to this day.

My choices displayed the qualities I feel are most important in our breed. That being said, all comments are from my recorded notes that day and all opinions are, of course, strictly my own!
