"Storm"

Storm is our latest addition and half sister to Poppy (Kwekwe K'hani), Our Solo being the dam to them both. She certainly keeps us on our toes and lives spectacularly up to her name. Perhaps "Storm Force 12" would be more apt!!

Storm will be making her show debut in late spring or early summer of 2006.

Storm's Critiques 

29th March 2009 - Midlands & Northern Rhodesian Ridgeback Club Open Show
- Judge Mrs E Storey

Bigger bitch all through than 1st but certainly without coarseness. Lovely head type, good round dark eye, beautiful soft expression. Nice front and with good feet. Loved her rear quarters but she did tend to stand bum high. Moved out well and with grace

 

22nd March 2009 - Bootle, Crosby & South Liverpool - Judge Ms C Young

Bitch of lovely proportions, well laid back shoulder, good reach of neck, lovely head, good rear angulation, moved soundly

 

9th February 2008 - Leigh Canine Society Open Show - Group Judge Mr F Wardle

G1- Really nice bitch, very feminine & dignified, super angles & proportions, correct head qualities, nice clean length to neck, strong forequarters, clearly defined ridge, well arched compact feet, well off for bone, super condition, moved straight and true, however a little hesitant.

 

17th August 2007 - Welsh Kennel Club Championship Show - Judge Dr S L Hemstock

A quality feminine bitch in good fettle. Preferred head and expression of 1st. Good front, forelegs straight & well boned, deep brisket, well tucked up, correct spring of rib, good hindquarters, thighs muscular & well defined, correct turn of stifle, fits well within the standard with nothing overstated, a sound mover.

 

16th June 2007 - Border Union Championship Show - Judge Ms J Blandford

Attractive head with nice ears and eyes. Well ribbed with strong topline. Well balanced hound. Good muscular condition.

 

10th June 2007 - Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Great Britain Open Show

1st September 2006 City of Birmingham Championship Show - Judge Mr C Ashmore

Nice youngster with promise, good type, has quality, sweet feminine head & expression, well balanced shape and outline, sound mover, presented & shown well.

 

11th June 2006 Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Great Britain Open Show - Judge Mrs L Hewson

Although alone this puppy appealed, nice balanced head & dark eye, well constructed front with plenty of width, well angulated quarters, neat feet, strong bone. A little bit shallow in chest which I would expect at 7 months. Liked her a lot & hope that with age & experience she gains more confidence.

Lovely type, feminine head ,sweet expression and lovely dark eye, has good development and nicely balanced for age, good angulation, nice outline, moves soundly keeping her shape just needing more confidence, has the quality and potential

 

23rd July 2006 Leeds Championship Show - Judge Mr Brian Firth

Little shy, however, lovely expression. Forequarters as they should be, strong straight legs, good head, neck and shoulders, moved well. Soft front feet.

 

15th July 2006 at the Midland & Northern Championship Show - Judge, Ms Zola Rawson 

What a mature baby just 8 months old and behaving and enjoying it all like a veteran, good body with correct substance and good bone, nice overall shape and balance, true movement and lovely temperament.

 

18th June 2006 at Border Union Championship Show - Judge, Mrs Anna Ringer

7 months red wheaten, very feminine baby, pretty well proportioned  hound head, nice soft dark eyes, pleasing earset, nice clean outline throughout, good reach of neck, correctly angulated shoulders, chest well down for a youngster, good rear angulation, tailset and feet, nice straight movement
