2006 MAJOR TROPHY SHOW JUDGES REPORT -
Mrs ELA Oosthuizen
  

Dogs Under 2 Years - Ormandy Vase Trophy
It was a pleasure to be one of the three judges judging our top dogs & bitches of 2006.  My first opportunity came when our young males under 2 were in the ring.

There were a number of really good dog but PANOMAR KLAAS OXEN stole the show.  It was his day!  

A muscular, strong red and white, beautifully made dog.  Very shapely with the touch of quality lacking in many top dogs today.  A well filled head, but without the spectacular profile of some of the other dogs.  He used his ears well, has a perfect mouth, straight front and on his toes.  Strong neck and length of back in proportion to his body.  Good bend of stifle and his good movement - front and back - made him a difficult dog to beat.  He won the Ormandy Vase as well as Supreme Bull Terrier.  My co-judge, Deon Schoeman & I were unanimous in our decision.

      
Dogs Over 2 Years - Ormandy Jug Trophy
I thought the quality of the senior dogs was not as good as the juniors.  BONWITT DOUBLE TROUBLE OF IZIGHALO was my choice.  He is fully matured, full of confidence and really come to his own.  Has a good well filled head with good turn, straight front, short back, good bend of stifle and moves very well.  He showed himself beautifully.

My co-judge, Dave Harrison, preferred BUKAVI TITAN.  He is a big [perhaps too fat] white dog with a beautiful, strong well filled head, good eye and expression, straight front and good round bone.  His handler had difficulty in getting him to show.  With the help of a ball the referee - Deon Schoeman - got him to show and lift his ears.  He then was placed first and won the Ormandy Jug.

    
Imported Bitches
A pretty little black & white bitch named HIGH TIDE TONIGHT OF LORDERON.  She was frightened & shy and one could not see her properly.  She has a beautiful head.  When she matures and gains more confidence, [maybe next year] we will be able to see more of her.
    
Bitches Under 2 Years - Ormandy Vase
My co-judge, Dave Harrison and I were in agreement with the winner - CH RHINESTONE ROUGH GEMBABY.  A very lovely white bitch with a glorious long filled head, very good eye and expression, perfect mouth, big shapely quarters and really powerful throughout.  She moved well and won her class with ease.
    
Bitches Over 2 Years - Ormandy Jug
Because of a split decision between the judges, I was called in to judge:  CH DAJAMANI DILLARY and CH DELVINO C'EST SI BON.  Two completely different type of bitches.

CH DAJAMANI DILLARY, a white upstanding, showy, short coupled, medium sized bitch with good overall balanced feminine qualities  Nicely turned and finished head with a wicked eye, neat ears giving correct expression.  Good mouth, good length of neck and moved well.

CH DELVINO C'EST SI BON OF LUBJAN.  A striking white of good size and substance and very feminine all through.  Has a perfect well filled muzzle, small dark eye, long neck into good shoulders, straight front, deep chest, angled stifles and covered the ground well both ways.  Making this decision was very hard!

"DILLARY", shorter coupled, was showing all the time and "C'EST SI BON", the ideal big brood bitch-type that one craves for, just would not show herself!

I chose CH DAJAMANI DILLARY.

   
SABTC - DOG OF THE YEAR
This was an unanimous decision.  PANOMAR KLAAS OXEN was an easy winner with his strength, class & presence.
    
SABTC - BITCH OF THE YEAR
Also an unanimous decision that fell on CH RHINESTONE ROUGH GEMBABY.  Her overall quality beat CH DAJAMANI DILLARY.
     
SA SUPREME BULL TERRIER OF 2006
KLAAS OXEN'S won this with ease.  CH RHINESTONE GEMBABY'S front let her down.
