Mina wins the Special Junior Bitch class at CRUFTS 2009!
Judge Mr A Ford.
On Sunday 21st September 2008 what a day we had !
At Stoke On Trent Gundog Open Show Mina won both the Puppy and Junior Classes and was awarded Best Puppy In Breed.
She then went on to win Best Puppy In Show 3
These wins gave her enough points for her JUNIOR WARRANT (J.W), which
gives her entry into the Kennel Club Stud Book and qualifies her for Crufts for life.
As she was only 8 months and 2 weeks old at the time of gaining her last points, she is the
YOUNGEST WEIMARANER BITCH ON RECORD to have achieved this !
Below is the critique from Border Union Championship Show 20th June 2009. The judge is breed specialist Gil Simpson (Sireva).
Adams' Katelands Christmas Spirit, glorious silver/gr feminine bitch, liked her head, neck, good shoulder & deep well sprung ribcage, strong loin & moderately angulated hindquarters, low hocks, moved easily with sound stride.
Below is the critique from East Of England Championship Show 11th July 2009. The judge is Mr R James.
1 Adams' Katelands Christmas Spirit, gorgeous colour, excellent type & quality, pretty feminine head of good length with moderate stop, correct eye & expression, well put together forehand with complimentary rear assembly, ideal length to height ratio, well sprung ribcage which extends well back, correct topline, good length of loin & a gently sloping croup with well set & carried tail, well balanced front & rear assemblies. Quite accurate on the move.
Below is the critique from South Wales Championship Show October 2009. The judge is Miss B Stamp.
1 Adam's Katelends Christmas Spirit, beautifully balanced bitch of pale silver, have admired her since she was a puppy & did not disappoint when I went over her, feminine head, melting expression, moderate length of neck, excellent lay of shoulder, correct angulation throughout with ribs extending well back & moderate tuck-up, well muscled, correct tailset which showed when she moved keeping her tail in the correct position. Pushed hard for the CC but lost on maturity, her turn will come. RCC;
Below is the critique from Midland Counties Championship Show October 2009. The judge is Mr C Atkinson.
1 Adams' Katelands Christmas Spirit, won well, very good balanced profile in stance & movement, so positive in action, long ribcage, substance in body & quarters, head pleased, handles well.
