Dutch Greyhound Club Show 2022 🇳🇱

Supporting the Dutch Greyhound Club 🇳🇱 is for us very important for two reasons!
Firstly and most logical, it is the only breed club for Greyhounds between the Benelux counties, Germany and Denmark. Secondly in memory of two very special people who are no longer with us, but dedicated all their adult life to Greyhounds and are the founders of ‘De Greyhound Club’, Frans & Wil Gerritsen of Velocity Greyhounds. ❤️
The show this year took place at the very relaxing and friendly Lelystad Sighthound non professional racing track. A really great show ground with amazing potential. Sadly an extremely low entry of nine Greyhounds makes you wonder.
I do hope for better days for the club 🍀 and that Greyhound people of at least the above mentioned counties, “wake up” and support their breed club! 💪🏼

Without doubt being given the honour and privilege to judge the Hound group at Crufts will remain with me for the rest of my life and I loved every minute of the whole day. Standing in the centre of the famous green carpeted ring watching a beautiful collection of this years BOB winners enter individually I knew I was going to have fun selecting the top 4.

The BOB PBGV (Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen) did a lovely lap of honour for his proud owner as I was the breeder but then I had a full compliment of hounds to assess.

My shortlist was the very nicely made, compact beagle, the std wire dach (standard wire dachshund) with a super outline and type all through, a stunning Ibizan with such presence and dignity „Ch Kalo Skilo’s Bow Bells Guns N Roses“, owned by Mrs M L Knudsen), the commanding powerful Irish Wolfhound („Ch Sade Paris“, owned by Chris Amoo) and very balanced Rhodesian Ridgeback.

My group 4 winner was a 4yr old GBGV (Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen), Ch FORGET ME NOT V TUM TUMS VRIENJES with the correct proportions and substance the breed calls for. A noble head with strength, nicely chiselled under the eye, ears well folded with good length, his body is deep and firm with a lovely level topline, his coat is harsh. On the move he holds his shape and his tail carriage is exactly how it should be in a sabre like fashion. A very nice example of the breed.

Group 3, (Pharaoh Hound) Swe Ch/Ch VASKURS MONI MAKER QIWIDOTTER, this bitch really caught my eye as she entered the ring and on closer examination she is very typical all through, her skull is long and lean with high set ears which she uses at all times. Her front is nicely under her body with such a lovely lean arched neck, moderate and balanced front and back with straight topline she holds at all times, in tip top condition, free flowing on the move. She paints a super picture on the stack.

Group 2, (Whippet) CRÈME ANGLAISE’S IRISH CREAM, just 2 years old with the most beautiful clean graceful outline, feminine all through, she stands over good ground without any exaggeration, her head has good length with a flat skull and rose like ears set well back, straight forelegs and oval feet, deep chest with ribs extending well back. She has a neat waist and defined tuck up. I loved her long easy stride where she holds her outline. Full of breed type in fantastic condition, she has a real connection with her handler which is evident and she wants to give her all.
