ФОРУМ ЛЮБИТЕЛЕЙ КОЛЛИ И ШЕЛТИ

Товарищи не пугайте меня . В каталогах всех первое что написано это выставочное положение ркф. Спецом взяла каталожек 2010 года. Неужели не читали.
В каталоге этой моно его разве нет?

zhenechkaСпасибо спасибо

В совладении и есть, но по докам она числится не за мной. И Зидан в совладении.

Последний, завершающий штрих - впечатления эксперта об увиденном

I was thrilled when I received the invitation to judge The Shetland Sheepdog Special Show in December in St Petersburg. 10 years ago in 2006 I judged a show in Moscow and I have always looked upon this event as one of my highlights.
With an entry of 109 Shelties this St Peterburg Show , and the one in Moscow 2006, these are the biggest shows I’ve ever judged.
In the shopping center where the Show was held I met a crowd of enthusiastic exhibitors along with their beautiful dogs. Everybody very exited by the wellknown show atmosphere.
The show was organized with several more classes than we usual have in Europe. To my luck I had one of the very best stewards ever, Ivan, to help me through the day. I couldn’t have done it without him.
In the Sheltie world there has been a lot of discussion of the correct type. I found that the Russian Shellties differ a lot as they do in many other countries. Some with very sweet and correct expression, others a little collie-like in head. Some had their eyes pointing direct ahead and they were not obliquely set.
Body wise I found some rather long and narrow in body, some with the correct 9:10 body proportions. Most of the dogs were well angulated, which you do not see to the same degree in European countries. I was amazed when I learnt that.
In general the temperaments were good. But some dogs had only had a little training and they were scared when they were examined on the table. What a pity that the handlers hadn’t trained them to relaxe and be comfortable on the table and in the ring when moving.
Some dogs had dirty teeth with a lot of calcium coating. Such things should be removed before a show, and a coating is not healthy to the dogs teeth at all. Some dogs were brushed and prepared to perfection, others could have done better with a bath before the show.
But I must not forget to mention the many well handled dogs in the ring. Many handlers had trained for days and hours to show their dog in the very best way and it’s always nice to see a dog shown to it’s advantage. Congratulations, you did it.
The advanced handler knows how to hide the not so good points for the judge, and he also knows to highlight its virtues. That’s a part of the game. That’s the sport!
The most amazing class of the day was the Veteran Bitches. Here was a lot of quality dogs gathered. All very beautiful and well presented. A very impressive sight. The other classes were in general not so homogeny, but included quality dogs. Here it was more a mix of types and virtues.
I think that younger classes were not as strong in quality as the adult ones. But to me it is a natural thing as a new Sheltie owner wants to show her/his Sheltie. Some are ‘only’ pet dogs and they will probably only be shown at few shows in a short period. The owner of a nice show dog will show the dog again and again over several years. The successful ones will go on showing.
I was very pleased with my little blue winner bitch. She was amazing, nice all over. Beautiful colour, lean head with the sweetest expression, and very soundly constructed. Nothing was overdone and she was as feminine as an angel. I would gladly be her owner.
In the very end I will thank the show organizers very much for a well planned and well organized show. A special ‘thank you’ to my ‘caretaker’ and steward Ivan. The best helper who I will never forget.

Thank you.

Кстати, весьма было бы НЕ плохо, если бы после каждой монопородки можно было бы прочитать отзыв эксперта.

Вера, спасибо за отзыв от эксперта.



Совершенно согласна, именно поэтому мы после НВШ 2012 года с экспертом плотно общались, высылали фото, чтобы она могла освежить память и написать наиболее полно свои впечатления. И это было ОЧЕНЬ интересно !
Вот бы сделать это хорошей традицией ( А хороших и интересных традиций вокруг моно можно создать очень много )
