Miniature Best of Breed and Best In Show #13-Ch Jenuin Midnight Godess made an immediate impression when she entered the ring – a stunning beautiful black girl with her easy free and well co-ordinated movement; excellent head and expression, nice reach of neck with moderate angles throughout allowing for that lovely movement, covering the ground with ease; correct tailset and carriage, beautifully presented, and full of that ‘Poodley’, feminine, elegant attitude, she could not be denied the top award.
Toy Best of Breed and Runner Up BIS #50-Chezjolie Kiss N Tell is a super quality black boy, nice size, short back and balanced in outline. A very nice head, eye and expression and well constructed throughout with good front and rear with pleasing reach and drive; nice ribcage and tailset, in good body and condition, nicely presented and very unlucky to meet the Miniature bitch who just had that ‘something special’ for me today.
Standard Best of Breed-#21-Ch Morlae Change Of Habit : Very masculine, head in proportion to his size, correct eye and expression, nice neck, good shoulders and forequarters, correct ribcage and body, level top line, good feet, well angulated hindquarters, moved soundly. Possibly the most masculine Standard I have ever judged, very “alpha-male”, and whilst deserving of his wins, really just a little too strong for me as he lost that Poodle characteristic of “elegant looking dog”.

MINIATURES
BABY PUPPY DOG
1st-#1-Jenuin Major Tom : A nicely constructed boy, developing well in all the right places, nice tail set; a little longer cast than I would like; with age and experience I am sure he will mature nicely.
2nd-#2-Zazzin Night Moves : A stylish puppy with a pleasing head and nicely balanced outline, good tail set; needs to settle in front and rear.
PUPPY DOG
1st-#5-Jenuin Southern Midnight Son : A handsome puppy dog, nice head and underjaw, and with time should continue to develop nicely. Good angles gave correct movement and nice carriage in profile. I hope he has finished growing.
2nd-#3-Tannah Gold N Delicious : Not as refined in the head as the first, but is nicely constructed with good bone, nice feet and correct tail set.
INTERMEDIATE DOG
1st-Res CC-#6-Ch Showcase All Guns Ablazin (ImpNZ) : A pleasing head and expression, very nicely balanced in outline with good reach of neck, good depth of chest, good tailset and carriage and well angled rear with a very nice side action, moving freely.
OPEN DOG
1st & CC & RUBOB-#7-NZ Ch Showcase Major Edition (ImpNZ) : A nicely moulded head and expression with a dark expressive eye; nicely balanced, and sound both coming and going with correct tailset and nice carriage.
2nd-#8-Sup Ch Azflex Sign of the Times : A well put together boy with a well constructed front end, good ribcage, short back and well angulated hindquarters; could be a little more refined in backskull; moved effortlessly.
3rd-#9-Ch Jenuin Major Constellation : Another well put togther dog, moved effortlessly, well balanced and with a nicely refined head piece and correct eye and expression; today, for some reason, he did not ‘catch my eye’ as I would expect from an Open class dog.
MINOR PUPPY BITCH
1st & Minor In Show-#11-Azflex Precious Times : Nice feminine head, good eye and expression, good reach of neck due to the correct forequarters, well-made body for her age, compact tight feet, good hindquarters, moved soundly; I’m sure she will have a bright future.

STANDARDS
BABY PUPPY DOG
1st-#15-Giday Captain Thunderbolt : A promising puppy, well bodied with moderate angulation at both ends; good outline. Parallel action coming and going and free mover in profile, holding a level topline. I would prefer a finer back skull and darker eye but he is short backed with a correct tail set. Moved well on tight feet. Interested to watch him develop.
2nd-#16-Shantar a Denzil (ImpNZ) : Much younger than the first with a lot of development yet to happen. Moved out confidently and with a spring in his step.
MINOR PUPPY DOG
1st-#17-Zarzou I Want It All : Pleasing head and expression, short backed with a good tail set and neat feet. A little narrow behind and needs to tighten in front. Moved better once settled. A promising puppy, nice size, good front, lovely temperament.
JUNIOR DOG
1st-#19-Ch Blaquemayl King Of Cool : Plenty of neck set on well laid shoulders. Scores on his front assembly and rear angulation. Short backed and is very together on the stack. He is lovely to go over and as such when he concentrates moves with reach in front and super drive behind on well knuckled feet.
INTERMEDIATE DOG
1st & CC & BOB & Inter In Show-#21-Ch Morlae Change Of Habit : (Critique above)
2nd-#22-Am Ch Zhemchuzhina Sibiri Romario (ImpUSA) : A smaller, refined Standard, balanced throughout and moved covering the ground in a lovely light action. Clean refined backskull with dark expressive eyes, well rounded ribcage, nicely constructed forequarters and hindquarters, nice pigmentation.
AUSTRALIAN BRED DOG
1st & Res CC-#24-Sup Ch Poodelle The Boy From Oz : He has a lovely outline stacked which he keeps on the move. He has a refined head, a dark almond shaped eye and lovely expression. He is short, has good reach of neck, tailset and carriage. He was sound moving away, very steady.
2nd-#23-Giday Positivly Bourke St : He moves around the ring with ease, covering the ground with good reach and drive. He is sound coming and with correct angles fore and aft, he has good spring of rib and depth of chest, good feet, reach of neck and tailset.
OPEN DOG
1st-#26-Am Ch Bar-None Riding Shotgun(ImpUSA) : Square just edged ahead here as he held his outline together better on the move and was more positive away and back. Good reach of neck set on well laid shoulders, short cobby body and well angulated rear. I would like to have seen him in a more traditional trim.
2nd-#25-Poshnoir Reilly Ace of Spades : Pleasing head and expression. Good body and short backed with a good front and well angulated rear. Correct tail set. Moved well on tight feet just not so collected as 1st, a masculine head with decent chin.
BABY PUPPY BITCH
1st- #28-Kateisha Walking On A Dream : Moves out nicely with good reach and drive; maturity will help her keep it all together. Short in body, sweet face and expression.
2nd- #27-Malleestyle Mayflower : Promising youngster with a most attractive head and expression. Good reach of neck and well laid shoulders. Decent body for age with good tailset and carriage.
MINOR PUPPY BITCH
1st-#29-Grandsprit Audrey Hepburn : An attractive head of good length and sweet expression, sturdy, well ribbed body with well set tail. Moved out very soundly and I am sure with maturity she will have a bright future.
JUNIOR BITCH
1st & Junior In Show-#31-Poshnoir Eye Spy Avatar(AI) : Such a pretty bitch this is, with a beautifully refined backskull and a lovely small dark eye facilitating that true Poodle expression. A lovely reach of neck, and while nicely balanced in outline I would like to have seen her “hold herself together” more when moving. I am sure she will excel in the future as she matures.
2nd-#30-Kysan Green Wiv Envy : Elegant and stylish with good reach of neck and a short back. Attractive head with dark intelligent eyes, good length of muzzle and some chin. Excellent forequarters, good ribbing. Strong hindquarters gave her plenty of drive on the move. Excellent coat and presentation.
INTERMEDIATE BITCH
1st-#33-Aglaia More Than A Dream : Pleasing head and expression with a nicely constructed front, could do with more drive in the hind quarters. Nice outline stacked which she held on the move. The tail carriage spoils the overall appearance of balance.
2nd-#32-Ch Starus Dancing With The Devil : Sweet bitch with a pretty head, refined with a lovely eye. She is mature enough in body for her age and has excellent feet. A little unsure on the move today but she is sound and keeps her outline.

1st & Res CC & AustBred In Show-#34-Blaquemayl Dark Trixter : Nicely moulded head and lovely expression, clean refined backskull and small expressive eyes; nice reach of neck set into good shoulders, correct rib and good turn of stifle with excellent tail set. Lovely on the move.

OPEN BITCH
1st & CC & RUBOB-#37-Ch Capanash Mistress Of The Dark : Nice head with a good foreface and chin, good reach of neck and short backed.

TOYS
BABY PUPPY DOG
1st & Baby in Show-#44-Hoku Winters Tale : Very nicely balanced silver, nice angulation and correct tail set, lovely confident temperament, moving well both coming and going. Really did not put a foot wrong.
2nd-#43-Hoku Winter Is Coming : Very nicely balanced white, nice angulation and correct tail set, lovely confident temperament, moving well both coming and going. Possibly a little more refinement in the backskull would be nice. Could change place with #1 on another day as it was a matter of splitting hairs today.
MINOR PUPPY DOG
1st -#45-Proclaim Enchanted Secret : Tail set is correct but he’s carrying the tail nearly flat on the back, spoiling the balance. Lovely dark eye on a masculine head with decent chin, really great extension on the move, strong well conditioned body, not keen on his tail carriage, but the overall picture is a sound dog
INTERMEDIATE DOG
1st -#48-Namaste Forever Yaae (ImpESP) : Very satisfying to handle with his lovely head and expression. Well laid shoulders, excellent body and rib with some breadth over the loins and well muscled and nicely angulated hind quarters. Nice tailset and good carriage, not the reach and drive I would like to see
2nd-#46-Ch Garwey Mister Sandman : The only brown Poodle today, could easily swap places with first on another day. Lovely head and expression with correct eye shape giving a lovely expression. Nice hindquarters and moved well in profile.
3rd-#47-Toylyn Valentino Noir : Well built male of substance with a well laid shoulder and matching rear end giving a good topline, moved well. Not all that happy today, slightly reluctant on the move.
AUSTRALIAN BRED DOG
1st-#49-Ch Dootwa Gangster Of Love : Nicely constructed dog, nice reach of neck and lovely head carriage, short back and loin, nice hind angulation and moves well coming and going. Tailset is correct, a pity he carries it flat on the back as it spoils the overall balance.
OPEN DOG
A class of three pleasing dogs – for different reasons I liked each of them.
1st & CC & BOB & RUBIS-#50-Chezjolie Kiss N Tell : Critique above
2nd & Res CC-#53-Aeden Happy Go Lucky (ImpUK) : Nicely balanced little dog with good length of neck set on well laid shoulders, short cobby body and well angulated rear. A lovely head and expression, correct tailset and carriage.
3rd-#52-Gd Ch Garwey Tin Soldier : Attractive head, eye and expression, lovely thick coat. Balanced dog with good depth of chest and rib. held his shape in profile, Moved soundly with good reach and drive, lovely tailset and carriage
BABY PUPPY BITCH
1st-#55-Fleurlee Lady Lilliana : She was unsettled on the table and on the move today so was difficult to access.
MINOR PUPPY BITCH
1st-#56-Toniri In Dreams : A pretty bitch, balanced head with chiselling and correct eye shape, well laid shoulders giving correct front extension on the move with matching drive from well angled rear quarters. Tail carriage spoils the overall picture of balance.
PUPPY BITCH
1st & Puppy In Show-#60-Sintee Ny State Of Mind : Smart looking girl with little to dislike when handling, feminine head with nice expression, moved well in all directions; correct tailset but not a pleasing tail carriage angle.
2nd-#58-Chezjolie Hugs N Kisses : A sweet square little bitch with a pleasing head and expression. Short backed with a good front and well angulated rear. Her tail carriage spoils her balance in outline.
JUNIOR BITCH
1st-#65-Zazzin Pocket Promise : She has a nice head, eye and expression, long neck into well laid shoulders, good depth of chest, spring of rib, short backed, good rear and front angulation and feet. She is a sound and stylish mover and covers the ground well but needs to settle on the move. Nice tailset and carriage.
2nd-#62-Garwey Comedy Capers : I apologise to this owner, I am unable to comprehend my recorded, mumbled, comments.
3rd-#64-Ch JojoeTime And Secrets : Lovely face, and very balanced both in front and rear, with plenty of drive and extension.
INTERMEDIATE BITCH
1st & Res CC-#68-Dootwa Don’t Go Brakn My Heart : A black with lovely outline; pleasing head and expression with good boning, short backed and well constructed fore and aft, moving freely. So stylish stacked and on the move.
2nd-#66-Silkyelk Diamond Of Destiny : Reachy neck, set on well placed shoulders. Straight front and short backed with well angulated rear. Beautifully presented coat.
3rd-#67-Moncoeur Magic Happens : Pleasing for both type and balance. Good length of head, well shaped eye, good forequarters which she used well on the move. Not quite the gassy confidence of the winner.
AUSTRALIAN BRED BITCH
1st & CC & RUBOB-#70-Ch Sintee Saucy Abby : Beautifully balanced, lovely head and expression; good reach of neck set into well laid shoulders, correct rib and nice depth of chest; good turn of stifle with excellent tail set. Lovely on the move, holding in profile and with excellent reach and drive.

Lovely head refined with defined stop, good almond eye, dark and full of expression, good neck, good angulated quarters fore and aft, and good body, compact, level top line, moved soundly, I would prefer a better tail carriage.
2nd-#72-Gd Ch Garwey Social Butterfly : She has a lovely head and eye, some refinement. Excellent forequarters with good shoulders and nice feet. Well ribbed with some breadth over the loins. Moved with a light easy action with satisfactory drive; possibly a little longer than I would prefer.
