BRITISH CHIHUAHUA CLUB
SUB-GROUP OPEN SHOW 12th May 2024 - Smoothcoat Critique
Many thanks to the BCC for inviting me to judge the Smooth Coats at this open show.
I thoroughly enjoyed the day going over some super dogs which made some decisions
quite difficult. I have to say dentition was very pleasing on the whole. Much
appreciation goes to my stewards who kept the ring flowing very well. Thank you ladies.
BABY PUPPY (3,1)
1 B Sutton’s NIKITOS Nevaendinstory NAF. Cream. At 5 months was a very confident mover
if indeed a bit cheeky!. Very nicely put together and should mature beautifully with a
little more age. One to follow.
2 Ginger & Parkinson’s Legado De Lagos Don Juan Jodeschi NAF. Black Tri colour. 5
months with a good body. With experience careful handling will gain confidence and thrive.
MPD (3,1)
1 L Stading’s TOLTECHI’S Dante Le Poete, 6mths black tri-colour. This attractive little
guy moves really well side, front and rear. Has a beautiful apple dome head. Exceptional
confidence for such a young dog at only his second show. He is mature in attitude and
appearance. BPIB. RBPIS.
2 A Burrow’s ANADEIA Eowyn. This 8 month old red boy is almost too pretty to be male. A
lovely head piece. He is of slight build will mature. He held his topline on the move very well.
PUPPY DOG (2,1)
1 S Slavinec’s CHARONCHI Sultan of Swing. Fawn. 10 months. Another pretty boy with super
eyes, ears and apple head. Very level topline. A good front. Seems very alert and confident.
JUNIOR DOG (4,2)
1 S Rooney’s Yarone Make My Day. 12 months. Fawn . A very alert young dog with a super
front, great reach of neck. Maintained his topline at all times. Threw a lovely outline
standing and on the move. Handsome. RBOB. RBD.
2 L Taylor’s ARKOSCHI Little White Bull. 10 months. White and cream. A little bit shy,
but still quite young. Very good rear movement. Very, very good dentition.
NOVICE DOG (0,0)
POST GRADUATE (3,1)
1B Sutton’s ULTIMA ‘Tom De L’Isle Au Vert Coteau Nikitos (IMP FRA). At just 12 months this
little cream fellow was slightly distracted on the move, but moved well and maintained his
topline. A very handsome fellow with lovely dark eyes and well set ears. A great front and rear.
2 D Poyner’s ANADEIA Ovation for Mikichi JW. 23 months. Another very pretty dog. Had a great
topline standing and on the move which was super straight putting his tail in just the right
place. Hardly anything to choose between these two dogs. I just preferred the front on the first
place.
LIMIT DOG(6,4)
1 L Stading’s STADMEYER Dashing Dexter JW. 2 years. I remember judging this dog as a pup
at which time I recall that I considered him a little long in the body. However this dark
blue fawn boy has matured beautifully. His movement is very sound and he is very well balanced,
straight both front and rear. A lovely outline on the move with a very stable topline.
BD BOB.
2 S Rooney’s YORONE Two Can Play That Game. 12 months. Fawn. A beautiful front. Topline is
good and maintained on the move. An accurately placed tail which is held very well. No mistaking
that he is related to another dog as their fronts and faces are pretty much identical with
everything in the right place. I think he may be slightly longer than his brother, but will
mature into a very appealing Chihuahua indeed.
OPEN DOG (2,1)
1 B Sutton’s TERRIBLE TERRY De L’Isle au Vert Coteau Nikitos (IMP FRA). 2yo. Very nice short
coupled and compact cream boy, a little short on neck, but made up for it overall. What a great
cigar tail and topline. Nice front reach on the move.
VETERAN (1)
1 S Stangoe’s STANGHURST Antonio. 10 Years of age. What a boy and was so very nicely balanced
on the move and very happy to be in the ring. What an amazing outline for a veteran of this
age. What a shame we all have to get old.
BABY PUPPY BITCH (0)
MPB (3,1)
1D Poyner’s MIKICHI Mini Moon NAF. 6 months. Cream girl with a temperament we all look for in
a puppy of such age. Very level topline maintained on the move. Super potential.
PB (1)
1 V Moggridge & H Senior’s JAHNEEMAHS Fancy That With Recuerdo. 9 months. Very nice and balanced
on the move. Straight both front and rear. Apple head, well set ears and a lovely eye. A nice
dual purpose female. Super cigar tail.
JB (5,1)
1 D Fothergill’s DIAMONCHI Miss Beautiful. 16 months. Very pretty girl with the correct proportions
of a Chihuahua. Petite, nicely coupled, table topline and accurate tail set. A very straight
(front and rear) mover.
2 B Sutton’s ULTRA Violette De Isle Au Vert Coteau Nikitos (IMP FRA). A very compact body. Stocky
type with straight topline and well set tail. Big dark eyes and good ear set. Moved soundly.

a lovely silhouette on the move.

and very happy. RBB

and balanced. A clean mover and responsive to owner.
OB (3,2)
1 D Fothergill’s DIAMONCHI Miss Sparkel. 16months. Cream. A very pretty girl with beautiful eyes,
head and ear set. Good pigment. Again a nice compact girl but has retained a good length of neck
accentuating her front. Nice movement. BB
