I would like to sincerely thank The Dobermann Club Land Fund Committee for inviting me to judge The Dobermann Classic Show 2008. I would like also to thank all the people who have been so helpful and friendly, especially Vivienne Lucas, Barbara Prestwich and Alma Page. The Show was well organized. I thoroughly enjoyed the night, the food was excellent and meeting with a lot of my dobermann friends.

The day before I left for England, I received an email that there would be 5 runners up instead of 4. I had only ordered 1 trophy for the winner and 4 for runners up, so I had to call the company that afternoon to urgently request another runner up trophy. Luckily they could deliver the last one just before I left for the airport. I was wondering what would have happened if they could not have delivered it on time. I hope you all like the trophies and wish to thank the organizer for the nice crystal present .

It was an honour to judge the top dobermanns in the U.K. The overall quality is excellent, the bitches are a little bit better than the dogs.

CH/ IR CH Aritaur Hipnotique My winner was a 4 year old black bitch. She has all the quality of an excellent Dobermann and would be a good representative for the breed in the group judging. She has very clean outline, very showy and never lost her attention throughout the show. Excellent feminine head and expression with dark eyes. Excellent front and hind quarters, correct markings, tight cat feet, strong top line which she holds when on the move. Excellent mover and very sound. I understand later she was the top winning Dobermann in 2007.

Amazon Talk of The Devil JW 17 month old young brown male. Very outstanding, excellent outline. He is excellent all over. Very nice head and male expression. Excellent front and hindquarters, positive attitude. Strong topline, excellent mover. This young dog, has a very bright future and I think he would be one of the top dobermanns in the future.

Ch Amazon Cheek To Cheek for Lynfryds JW 5 year old black bitch. Another classy bitch with excellent condition. Excellent head with dark eyes and sweet expression. Very nice outline, excellent front and hindquarters, firm top line. Moved well.

Ch Amazon Black Sabbath for Purroma JW 3.5 year old black male. Another excellent mature male. Excellent head and male expression, very nice outline, excellent front and hindquarters, firm topline, very sound and excellent mover. I understand he is from the same breeding as the young brown male and the top male dobermann 2007.

Aritaur Kalina 3.5 year old black bitch. Very similar to the winner, very nice outline. Very nice head and feminine expression. Excellent front and hind quarters. Strong topline which she held on the move. Move well. Apparently she was similarly bred to the winner.

Jojavik Wurlitzer JW 3.5 year old brown bitch. Feminine and very nice head and expression. Short and excellent body. Excellent front and hindquarters, very tight cat feet, nice firm top line. Moved very nicely.
