JuDGES-rEporTS – W i n d h u n d F e s t i va l D o n au e S C H i n g e n 2 0 1 6 Ausstellungen | UW 10 | 2014 | 51 INGRID KraH- HEIERMann | DE (HIGH ON EMOTION WHIPPETS) - t R A n S L At E D b y O L A F K n au B E R - Since more than 20 years the German Sighthound Association (DWZRV) is inviting Sighthound fanciers, be it breeders or owners to the internationally renowned Sighthound Festival at <strong>Donaue</strong>schingen. Once again a big number of enthusiasts followed the call knowing that it’s a pretty nice show, if not the most beautiful of all on the continent. As I lived this outstanding event as an exhibitor for several years it was a special honour and great joy to be one of the whippet judges this year together with Hendrik Härling from Sweden. To make a long story short: It was a fantastic experience to judge so many high quality Whippets. Feeling the coat and the body of so many outstanding specimens and looking at high typical heads with a highly desired Whippet expression still is unforgettable. I only can say that it felt so good to plunge into a unique experience with Whippets. I enjoyed every moment. Thank you so much to all the exhibitors who showed under me to get my opinion. Basically I had the impression that almost all of the entered dogs were shown in good condition and were well cared for. The muscle tone of most of the dogs was according to the standard. I wished that some of them could have been in a bit dryer condition. Some overweight effects the outlines as well as the moving abilities. The rear angulation was impeccable at almost all of them. But I saw some close movements behind, especially in bitches. Not only in Whippets the length of the shoulder and the upper arm gets me worried. I’ve found several straight upper arms causing the effect, that the front is not standing well under the body. The lay back of shoulders may be improved in some cases as well. While I am writing this lines reminds me to complain about first world problems. As I mentioned before I was more than pleasantly surprised by the general high quality of the shown dogs. More than a few have the potential to be placed on top at every dog show wherever it may be. That’s why for me it wasn’t always easy to make a decision about the winner. In almost every class I had several aspirants for the top position. That’s why small details had to make the difference. At the first day I had the honour to judge the females while awarding the winners <strong>Donaue</strong>schingen. It was more than a delight… Only two females were entered in veteran class. But both of them have been a feast to the eyes. My decision for the first prize was “Druantia’s Ellinora Bright Star”, a nine years old correct specimen of the breed making a very fresh appearance. Her teeth have been in perfect condition, her nails were perfectly well clipped and it was obvious that this veteran enjoyed her day off at the show. My second prize was “Cariad’s Karadhras Silver Mist” who suffered a bit under the hot temperatures. Even if showing lots of qualities she had to be content herself as second that day. My winner of the baby class was the six months old Italian bred “Satelite of Love”, a fawn coloured bitch with very nice outlines, great angulations and showing a remarkable movement. From my point of view a young female with a very promising future. The winner at the puppy class was an already superb developed and very well balanced female “Crème Anglaise’s Eat my Dust”. She impressed with a high typical Whippet movement showing a very nice low reach close over the ground with lots of propulsion while keeping the topline to the best. I liked her wide thighs as well: This female combined perfectly well power and elegance everyone is wishing for in the breed. In a strong junior class the first prize went to a just the one year old “Celebrien Sa Majeste Miriel”. She is a strongly built, but yet elegant brindle bitch of good lengths with very nice angulations and a paramount movement. First in intermediate class was “Ukulele Paranoia”, a red with black brindle female who is correct in every part. She has nice outlines, is nicely angulated and is showing a clean and effective movement. I liked her lovely head with a beautiful expression. The entry in champion class was phenomenal. The winner was the pretty successful red-fawn coloured “La Belle Hélène da Roseira Brava”, bred in Portugal. She is of excellent size showing a great balance in outlines combined with a superb movement. I have to admit that it was one of the highlights of my judges career to have the opportunity to evaluate this class. Several outstanding specimens of the breed were entered. Believe me: It wasn’t easy at all to decide who to place. I still remember “Rivarco Impala”, “Adria Donna Gains” and “Rivarco Be the Queen” – just to mention the ones placed: They all belong to the top of the European Whippet scene! The winner of the working class was “Druantia’s Headly”, a strongly built brindle representative of the breed of good size, well angulated showing the typical expression. The entry of the open class female was fantastic not only by quantity and quality: Tremendous in type, outlines and movements. The still young “Esedra Me Gusta Menear” was finally my winner. A female without any exaggeration. At the same time in every aspect beyond reproach. At the competition for best female I’ve choose the winner of the champion class. Even after a long day she still impressed with her outstanding presence in the ring and a really convincing movement. The second day of the show I was supposed to judge the males. Their entry wasn’t as big as the one of the females. In veteran class however I had five very typical breed specimens entered. All were well cared off and have been showed in excellent condition. The winner was “Druantia’s Even a Faithfull Friend”, an impressive 9 years old male with correct outlines and angulations. He obviously enjoyed himself on the move and showed a good reach and drive. Let me congratulate all exhibitors in this class for showing dogs in outstanding condition. In baby class 4 males were entered, all of them of very promising quality. My winner was “Milou en Mai de Caramaries”. This male impressed with a beautiful head, well balanced angulations, flowing outlines and showed a classic Whippet movement. My winner of the puppy class was “Elton John Sonnenfee”, a well balanced male with nice outlines, excellent pigmentation and correct angulations. The winner of a very strong junior class with 17 entries was the one year old impressive male “Red Cardinal Boogi Shoes”. He was very well developed for age and was handled to perfection – so he could play all his cards when showing his qualities on the move. The intermediate class was not easy to evaluate, even if high quality dogs were entered. Unfortunately not all of this mostly outstanding dogs have been shown in the best show condition. “Southpoint Wild ‘n Brave” convinced me with his nice head and expression, great outlines and a correct movement. The winner of a strong champion class was the well known male “Jesrae Games of Thrones” who showed an exceptional movement while being professionally handled. My choice at the working class males was the impressive male “Poppyhills Baffle the Nation”, a very typical breed specimen who covered lots of ground on the move. It was a great joy to go over the high entry in open class. A big number of magnificent males competed for top honour. The final decision was full of suspense. My winner was the Norwegian bred “Linrow’s Hall of Fame to Play’ Mac”. He finally was my best male and Best of Breed at the end. He represents a typical Whippet male combining all qualities you wish for a top winning dog. Although it was a long weekend for everyone with high midsummer temperatures I wouldn’t like to miss one single second. It was a highlight of my judges career to have the opportunity to be part of the judges team of this prestigious show. I want to thank especially all exhibitors, my ring stewards for their excellent support and the team who is organizing this event. The members of this committee deserve our acknowledgement for putting lots of time and effort during a whole year to create this magnificent show weekend. Once again they created a true festival for Sighthound fanciers. Surely many will discuss about it for long time. I am looking forward to take part again as an exhibitor next time. Best regards to my judges colleagues, to all exhibitors and all who made out of this memorable event a true highlight. hsb-blendivet.de Das Tierarztteam für Ihre Veranstaltung Co-Sponsoring Kooperationspartner Mediapartner 51
