Chichester and District Canine Society

Chichester and District Canine Society Ringcraft is the training of both handler and dog ready for the show ring. Our teams include both men and women.

On Monday evenings (excluding the last Monday in the month which is our monthly Match meeting) we hold ringcraft training sessions at The Selsey Centre, commencing at 730 pm. The training aims to replicate what you should expect if you decide to enter a dog show in an informal manner. In particular, training will involve the handler presenting their dog ready for the trainer to check his/her confo

rmation and then moving the dog, just as you would at a show. Ringcraft is the best way to simulate show experience and will help both handler and dog to gain confidence and skill. Ringcraft sessions are also a most useful way of socialising puppies with other well mannered dogs. An important part of the training is for your dog to feel at ease with people going over it who are likely to be complete strangers to the dog. This is important for all dogs, whether intending to show or not, as it is good preparation for that Judge's assessment or equally for a veterinary inspection. To help with this aspect of training, you will find that we have a number of ringcraft training teams, thus increasing your dog's exposure to those new people. So it will not be the same person examining your dog each session, week in and week out. You are welcome to come and join us free of charge as our guest for your first week.

Chichester & District Canine Society Open show
Judge Jane Charleton
(JANEYJIMJAMS)

My thanks to the very attentive Officers and Committee for the invitation to judge the Terrier Group at this extremely well organised and thoroughly enjoyable show, with many very lovely exhibits to enjoy. Hall facilities were excellent in terms of space adding an airy lightness to the day. My stewards, Louise and Keith were first class and kept the ring flowing smoothly.

1 Samson, Samson & Crawleys’ Norwich Terr
Ragus Monday Morning
Loved her driving, purposeful movement, coupled with a big, engaging personality. Balanced and well proportioned throughout, she maintained a firm, level topline both standing and on the move. Good foreface with a flat skull, and she used her ears well to complete a typical expression. Presented in a correct, harsh coat and well handled. BP TPG2

Eye catching puppy with excellent ring presence and a real ‘look at me’ attitude. Beautifully handled and presented, she worked well with her handler, showing a no nonsense, workmanlike approach. Lovely head and good lay of shoulder. Moved purposefully, maintaining a pleasing outline with a level topline and good tail set on. In lovely, glossy coat and correctly angulated throughout. Just a tad loose in front today. A very close decision
3 Hughes JRT Ruffntuff Topgear Tommi

1 Ruffles Irish Terr
Holman Midsummer Knight at Ruffmar (Ai) JW BOB ShCEx OSW

A quality, typical dog I have judged before. Super racy balanced outline with a lovely head and expression, well-set ears and good shoulders. Presented in a crisp textured jacket, although just a tad soft in leg furnishings, he moved out with purpose to secure BOB AVNSC. TG2
2 Bareve & Hassell Aust Terr
Bareve Absolutely Fabulous
An eye-catching exhibit full of personality and true Australian Terrier attitude, enjoying every moment in the ring. Pleasing head and expression with neat, well-carried ears, strong scissor bite. Good neck and shoulder placement, compact and well-balanced throughout with correct length to height ratio, level topline and correct set-on. Shown in a harsh, rugged yet well-presented jacket.

Puppy (4/1)
1 Onziemehurst The Navigator
A pleasing, spannable 9 month old grizzle dog puppy with good shoulders and a thick, weather-resistant pelt. Mature for his age with excellent pigmentation and a good set-on. His head is still developing and needs to grow into his ears, but he shows promise.
2 Arunmere Worth The Wait
Still immature in head at this stage, needing to develop, but a pretty mover who covers the ground well. Spannable, with well-laid shoulders, racy quarters and good overall balance. Carries a thick, weather-resistant pelt and is well b***d. A promising youngster.
3 Lady Star Of The Hill

Junior (4/0)
1 Hugh’s Arunmere Rhapsody in Red JW A typical, workmanlike exhibit with small, neat ears, a moderate broad skull and strong muzzle. The moderate neck flowing into well-balanced proportions.

2 Affleck’s Otterock Trick Or Treat
16-month-old dog of pleasing size and good bone. Particularly good for ears, the best of the day, on a flat skull with a typical otter head. A little naughty on the table, but showing character. Rather wide in front, though he moved out well. Strong through the loin with a good set-on.
3 Onzienehurst Mrs Pankhurst

PG (4/0)

Heavier in type than 1. Pleasing head with neat ears and a good set-on. Dipped behind the shoulders, which caused him to lose his topline on the move. Rather full in rib.

3 Mills’ Lairdship Larger Than Life
OPEN (3/0)
1 Mills’ Lairdship Licketty Split BOB TG1
What a character! This show girl’s tail didn’t stop wagging throughout as she was clearly enjoying her day. Both the handler and myself fully expected her to be really naughty but, like a true diva, she put on such a commanding performance especially in the Group, where she was rewarded with top honours today. Up to size, quality domed head and strong fore-face. She’s balanced throughout, lovely weaselled body and corresponding topline pleasing coat pencilling completed her appeal. BOB TG1
2 Bainbridge’s Ceilsmear’s White Star Beauty
Feminine bitch carrying too much weight today which affected her overall condition and outline. Correctly constructed topline was retained on the move, and she moved out well. Rather gay tail carriage.

3 Kenyons’ Ceilmear Close Encounter
JACK RUSSELL TERRIER
JUNIOR (1/0)
1 Gray’s Laserna Valentino
Balanced, spannable dog of pleasing size and personality. Smartly presented with a flat skull, although his ears were rather large. Pleasing neck and shoulder placement, neat front and good depth of brisket. Unfortunately he dropped away and long in croup and was over-arched over the loin, causing him to roach his topline on the move. Would also prefer more bend of stifle.

Balanced, well-proportioned happy dog with a correct head, enhanced by small neat ears with good set and carriage. Strong scissor bite. Excellent spring of rib and strong loin leading into a good set-on and well-carried tail. Moved out with drive, completing the picture.

STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER
PUPPY (5/1) This was, for me, the strongest class of the day with a super line up of puppies. All decisions were very close, often splitting hairs. However after awarding my class winner BP, BOB, PTG, I was absolutely delighted to see her go on to take BPIS. Congratulations
1 Stillmans’ Vadeliza Devils Got Me At Maidendale
Balanced, feminine, bitch in pristine condition, with “fit for function” written all through her. She ticked every box for me. Lovely balanced head with clean cheeks, strong muzzle and super rose ears. Well sprung ribs and muscled throughout, presented glowing in health with a fit, well developed conditioned for her age. Moved so well with a quiet “don’t even think about it” no-nonsense air about her. Worked beautifully with her handler throughout. A thoroughly deserving BP BOB TPG1 RBPIS.
2 MacCaffertys’ Wonderstaff This Boy
Ultra masculine dog displaying great strength of head, evident in his strong cheeks and powerful muzzle. Strong muscular neck, standing four-square with width of chest in keeping with his deep brisket and full rib. Already fully up to size, I would not want him to grow on, but on the day he was rewarded for his type, condition and clear “fit for function” qualities. Was pressed hard by the two pretty girls behind him. A close decision.

3 Turner’s Matrixstaff Moon Dancer At Tidestaff
OPEN(3/1)
1 Turner’s On The Hill Two At Tidestaff
Outgoing bitch, fit for purpose and full of character. She scored in skull, correct head proportions, ear set and carriage, and possessed a strong neck flowing into well-developed chest and forequarters. Moved out well.
2 Mitchell’s Chedanstaff Devil Star ShCEx
Masculine dog presented in excellent condition. Strong, flat skull with correct eye and expression. Wide front and well muscled throughout. Good spring of rib, strong through the loin, and finished with a very good tail set. There was much to like about this dog; however, I would prefer a lower set hock to improve drive on the move.

Chichester & District Canine Society Open Show – 22 March 2026
Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers – Judge: Joanne Grimes-Watson
Best of Breed & Best Puppy– Clover Supernova Over Rouxboos (IMP USA)
Reserve Best of Breed – Crofftysofty Hay Jude
Puppy (1/0)
1. Johnstone’s Clover Supernova Over Rouxboos (IMP USA) 7 month bitch with happy
Terrier attitude, enjoying her time in the ring. Great head proportions with flat skull,
scissor bite and dark hazel eye. Moderate neck. Level topline, with short coupling but
would prefer a little more length to back. Profuse coat with wave developing. Well set,
docked tail. Loved her front reach with plenty of drive behind. A little close behind and
would like more bend to stifle. Promising puppy. BOB & BP
Open (1/3)
1. Amel-Azizpour’s Crofftysofty Hay Jude 2yr old dog of good size and proportions.
Correct laid back shoulder so would have expected more reach in front, but
unfortunately he was unsettled on the move today resulting in choppy front movement.
Stifles had good bend and flowed nicely into well laid down hocks. Big black nose, good
depth of chest and well sprung ribs. Lovely soft waved coat of clear wheaten colour. Tail
set and carried well. RBO
