G3: Cargo's Illuminated Manuscript
G4: Tähti Friendly Fire

Comments: G1 goes to the bouvier, i think this pose is really, really special and it stands out to me because it's such a gorgeous example of a low-headed dane pose. the dutch shepherd is G2, another gorgeous, clean pose, and the heavy striped brindle is a great example of the breed standard. G3 goes to the OES, i love this pose - it is so even and sturdy looking, and it's a stunning example of the PFM edit file in a perfect pose. finally, G4 goes to the finnish lapphund - i love this little guy's high, proud head - it really makes him stand out!

G3 goes to the jagdterrier - i really love the nice clean lines of this pose, everything about it is so smart and tidy looking, finally, G4 goes to the american staffie - once again, an incredibly clean looking and striking pose that really makes the dog look sturdy, like a dog of the breed should be!

GROUP
G1: Cargo's Common Garden Detective
G2: Czeko's Uptown Girl
G3: Heirloom's Under a Funeral Moon
G4: Cansas' Ten Million Fireflies

Comments: G1 goes to the pug, such a stunning pose, i think the high head helps the dog look chunky and proud like pugs often are! G2 goes to the lowchen, really lovely clean & elegant pose on a very elegant and fancy looking breed! G3 goes to the klee kai, this ring was tough but this little guy really stood out with his lower head carriage and nice curved back-of-the-neck. finally G4 goes to the cavalier king charles spaniel, i love how serene this pose looks and the head is really solid and rounded, which makes the overall dog look really tidy and compant

Alaskan Klee Kai (12)
BOB: Heirloom's Under a Funeral Moon
BOS: Heirloom's Blaze in the Northern Sky
AOM: Heirloom's Soulside Journey

Comments: now this is what i call a strong start wow. lots of gorgeous poses here. the kismet file has the tiniest lil toes ever but i see that both files are susceptible to toe ball rolls. really like the head on the BOB dog, the low head here really creates a nice curve where the back of the neck meets the head. i like seeing the white extend back onto the cheeks in this breed

Bichon Frise (7)
BOB: Novablue Bronze Bear
BOS: Novablue Diamond Diva

Comments: seems to be a couple of workable alignments on the Nimh file! the placed dogz have the alignment that i like best

Chihuahua (17)
BOB: Cargo's Remember and Be Remembered
BOS: Cargo's Two Turtle Doves
AOM: KGMK Better Than Lime

Comments: some nice entries from both the PFM file and the SN file here; the PFM file in particular has some stunning entries. looking for a nice clean head in the dane poses of the PFM file, and as clean-as-possible legs in the PFM file in general. the alignment of the head on the BOB dog is really nice!

Chinese Crested (7)
BOB: Blizzard Mafiozoo
BOS: Blizzard Judeui Liliang

Griffon (8)
BOB: Crowned Room with No Doors
BOS: Silkwitch Why Are You Like This

Italian Greyhound (3)
HM: Incurro Driven By Instinct

Comments: cuties. this breed has quite strict preferences surrounding white markings, i don't think this has always been the case though as i have definitely hexed some high-white iggies (and i steer away from hexing patterns that may be less preferred). it's a shame!

King Charles Spaniel (1)
PICK: Cansas' Hammer To The Heart

Lowchen (5)
BOB: Czeko's Uptown Girl
BOS: Rivendell's ALIEN

BOB: Trinkets SMOLL AND MIGHTY

AOM: Trinkets SHE'S GOT IT

DQ: Rosestone's Awakening Storm - fur textured nose

BOB: Cargo's Common Garden Detective
BOS: SIDAI Best in Snow

Comments: gorgeous pose on the BOB dog! wow

Shih Tzu
BOB: Silkwitch Gossamer
BOS: Silkwitch Taffeta

Comments: another breed/file with a long cape of fur that makes aligning the legs difficult! i think i like the alignment of the BOB dog the best, although i'd like to see what they look like just one more pixel turned further towards the camera

Volpino Italiano (3)
HM: Czeko's Snowy Day

Comments: i like this leg alignment! head is also nice

Yorkshire Terrier (8)
BOB: Silkwitch Amethyst
BOS: Mirror Blue's Chuffed to Bits

G3: Mirabeau Grand Battement
G4: Crowned Jewelz

Comments: G1 goes to the lagotto - i think this is such a gorgeous dog and the pose is perfection, with a nice balance over the entire dog. G2 goes to the kai, i love how stocky and sturdy this dog looks in this pose, once again it gives the dog a lovely balanced look. G3 goes to the miniature poodle, this is such a lovely pose with a proudly-held muzzle and a nice bright expression. finally, G4 goes to the shar pei - i love the overall smooth-ness of this pose - good smooth liplines and the soft eyelids really flow with the wrinkles on the dog's face

American Akita (6)
BOB: Filigree's Don't Cry for Me
BOS: Rubix Fear Inoculum

Comments: some really nice proud poses here. i chose the ones with the most even ears!

Boston Terrier (2)
HM: Cansas' Labubu

Comments: nice, strict irish spotting pattern on this dog, which takes precedence over the coat being brindled! also love the nice straight ears

Chow Chow (7)
BOB: Cansas' Crimson Amora
BOS: Filigree's Best In Everything

Comments: BOB dog has the ideal leg alignment; the other best alignment was from another male dog that i couldn't award BOS to

Dalmatian (23)
BOB: Static Let It Blaze
BOS: Cargo’s Identity Theft Is Not a Joke
AOM: Dotty By Nature's Star Keeper of Oakley
AOM: Alohomora/Cargo's Mint Chocolate

Comments: oooh scary ring. SO many gorgeous PFM dogz. the spot pattern on the BOB dog is really striking, and ofc, the pose is pixel perfect (as is every pose in the ring). i also like the even-ness of the spot sizes across the body on this dog. there was a really lovely pose from a dog from the dragonstone file, however sadly the claws didn't match the pigment of the dog (liver). i love rich dark brown eyes in black dogz.

English Bulldog (PFM Bulldog) (4)
HM: Monocle's Overboard in Madness

French Bulldog (1)
PICK: Imagination Bilbo Baggins

Mutt
BOB: MMK's Share a Slice
BOS: Cargo's Grave Robbing
AOM: The Candiest Cane of Tontorino
AOM: MMK's Fresh Like Velvet

Comments: tough as expected! there are some pigment faults in the ring which helps thin the herd of perfect poses a little bit... still not easy though. ear even-ness, eye even-ness, and tidiness of the jowl & nose ball overlap were big deciding factors here.

Peruvian Hairless Dog (4)
HM: Converse COMFORTABLY NUMB

Schipperke (4)
HM: Aura's Fresh Blueberry Pie

Shar Pei (10)
BOB: Crowned Jewelz
BOS: Crowned Brain Addiction
AOM: Monkshood Black Tortoise

Standard Poodle (18)
BOB: Extra Special of Kezia

Tibetan Spaniel (2)

Tibetan Terrier (5)
BOB: BORN IN DECEMBER of Explosion
BOS: withheld

Comments: nice head carriage and okay alignment on the BOB dog - would love to see how this file poses when the legs are turned just a tiny tiny bit closer towards the camera. BOS withheld due to both female dogz in the ring being quite far off a passable alignment

Toy Poodle (PFM Poodle) (10)
BOB: Cargo's Lord Fallon
BOS: Cargo's In the Highest Keeping
AOM: Cargo's Singular Vision

Comments: some very nice poses here! these PFM poodle ears have me zooming in with my magnifying glass. i like an as-even-as-possible on the two big head poofs on the pfm and pfm-edited files! and an even or 1px forward back toe alignment for the cleanest legs.

Xoloitzquintle (5)
BOB: Dragosani PIĘKNY DRAŃ
BOS: Morphee`s STRACH SIE BAC

Comments: lovely poses on both placed dogz here - i'd say that they're both perfect examples of the correct leg alignments from their respective files!

AOM: Oathkeeper Bring Back the Rain

Comments: 20 danes, wowza. lovely poses from both the PFM file and abno file. absolutely perfect head on the BOB dog - it looks so imposing and noble, which i love. lovely even nose, eyes and ears on the BOS dog from the PFM file too. very very tough ring

Komondor (3)
HM: Lastryko LIKE A VILLAIN

Kuvasz (4)
HM: Aura's Death or Glory

Comments: some lovely poses here. i really love how even and balanced the winning dog's head looks

Newfoundland (15)
BOB: Geriatrix Canadian Bruv
BOS:: Cargo's Winding Trail at BFK
AOM: Cargo's Chocolate Snowball

Comments: another strong ring - the entries from petzy files are of a really high quality. love the pose on the BOB and how the front of the muzzle is perfectly flat - it's very striking and clean. could've done with one more placement as choosing just one AOM was difficult!

BOB: Crowned Necromancer
BOS: Specific Gravity Penny Lane
AOM: Crowned Red-Marked

Comments: another competitive ring with some lovely poses! perfect alignments on all three dogz, and the head carriage is stunning on the BOB - really nice and high, yet still with clear & smooth nose and liplines

St. Bernard (5)
BOB: Cargo's Immortal Beloved
BOS: Cargo's Piano Trios

Comments: all very nice entries, my pick for BOB was the dog with the head carriage i liked the most! very clean and even

Standard Schnauzer (6)
BOB: Cargo's Grasping at Infinity
BOS: withheld

Comments: sadly, there is only one dog in the correct alignment

Tatra Shepherd Dog (7)
BOB: Polka Prosto z gór
BOS: Polka Dłużniczka czasu

Comments: gorgeous head on the BOB dog! wish i could have another male pick for BOS too. seems to be a couple of workable leg alignments with this file; i like the one that the BOB dog has the most

Tosa Inu (5)
BOB: Rix Last Dance
BOS: Rix Swan Song

Yakutian Laika (12)
BOB: Dragosani Tokyo Sunrise
BOS: Dragosani CZERWONE JAK KREW
AOM: Dragosani MILCZENIE JEST ZŁOTEM

Comments: some really lovely entries in this ring. all placements have my slightly preferred alignment (though there are two that work for this file!) and i was really looking for a nice even head & perfectly smooth liplines. the BOB dog is a really gorgeous example of both of these, in a really nice high-headed pose

AIRSHIP #1 - WINNER'S CIRCLE

BIS: Mirror Blue's Memory Has Won (Ibizan Hound, Hound)
BW: Shadowfox The Soldier on the Grave (Great Dane, Working)
RW: Frogbowl Falling Fast (Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Gundog)
W1: Hadrian's Wisdom of the Owl (Border Terrier, Terrier)
W2: Geriatrix Waffle Jam (Bouvier Des Flandres, Pastoral)
W3: Dragosani MŁODY GNIEWNY (Lagotto Romagnolo, Utility)
W4: Cargo's Common Garden Detective (Pug, Toy)

Comments: another gorgeous WC to judge. starting from the top, both the dogz in BIS and BW had me in awe at how stunning they looked in their respective poses and i really loved both dogz; the ibizan won me over in the end with that elegant low head, and it wasn't a pose i could get out of my head since i judged the hound group yesterday. i love the pose on the chessie in RW, petzy files often have a harder time looking super smooth in pose, but every part of this dog does perfectly in this regard. W1 goes to the border terrier, with a pose that really stood out to me in both a very competitive breed and group ring - once again, lots of clean lines and a blunt yet well-defined muzzle. W2 is the bouvier with the gorgeous low headed-dane pose, once again an absolutely lovely clean pose for a petzy file. finally, in W3 and W4 are the lagotto and the pug respectively - two stunning poses that really stood out in both of their breed rings!

SHOW SUMMARY

AIRSHIP #2

this is going to be brief; i'm not live-judging/posting placements here for the breed rings (i'll still post the group rings and wc + comments on those as i judge them!) but i also need a place to keep track if i come across any DQ'ed petz or if i withhold placement for any reason from a ring.

WINNER'S CIRCLE
BIS: Outtumbll Juicy Fruit (Tabby, Semi-Cobby)
BW: Bespoke's Quality Sheen (Siamese, Oriental)
RW: Mirror Blue's Spine Jolt (Savannah, Foreign)
W1: Frogbowl Choc-crossed Bun (American Havana Brown, Semi-Foreign)
W2: Monarch's Nine Day Rule (British Shorthair, Cobby)
W3: Mirror Blue's Last Word Said (Turkish Van, Substantial)

Comments:: another tough WC to judge as i genuinely adored every cat here - i could not get either the BIS or BW cat out of my mind. silver i think sometimes can be very difficult to make look nice in petz, and these two catz really nailed it. both the RW and W1 catz really stood out in two very competitive groups that were not easy to judge! cobby & substantial groups i did find easier to judge, however, both group winning catz were still both gorgeous - both stellar examples of the typical colours & patterns seen in their respective breeds.

GROUPS
ORIENTAL
G1: Bespoke's Quality Sheen
G2: Rumpleteazer Operatic Retelling

Comments: i absolutely adore how clearly defined the colourpoint pattern is in the G1 siamese - not always easy with a silver tabby! really lovely brush smoke peterbald in G2 - not an easy pattern to represent, and it's done really nicely here. both poses are perfect!

FOREIGN
G1: Mirror Blue's Spine Jolt
G2: Frogbowl Die Another Day

Comments: the G1 savannah has such an imposing expression and pose - it's so sleek and smart. the G2 russian blue has such gorgeous clear green eyes, and i really like the choice of colour of the nose to match the grey coat. once again, perfect poses (tbh this will be the case with everything in the group rings LMAO so i will stop repeating this)

SEMI-FOREIGN
G1: Frogbowl Choc-crossed Bun
G2: SECHE Członek watahy

Comments: this ring is so tough, lots of breeds i love here and a lot of really strong entries here in this show. G1 goes to the havana brown - i love how rich the colour is in this cat, how neat the pose is and how alert the cat looks. the texture used really gives the look of soft fur. G2 goes to the la perm, this pose is so sturdy and even and i love the cat's dark colouring

SEMI-COBBY
G1: Outtumbll Juicy Fruit
G2: Nightwish Dead To The World

Comments: G1 goes to the gorgeous silver torbie - i'm in love with how this colour and pattern looks on this cat, and this breed ring was so, so strong. G2 goes to the american wirehair, a lovely soft looking silver tabby, very clean looking!

COBBY
G1: Monarch's Nine Day Rule
G2: Taremu Mingled Mistress

Comments: G1 goes to the british shorthair (it also went to a BSH in airship #1!) as there's just something about an all grey bsh that hits the right spot for me, very sleek and refined. G2 goes to the gorgeous tortie selkirk! i love the expression/face on this cat - i know that this file even in the correct alignment can give a few different looking faces!

SUBSTANTIAL
G1: Mirror Blue's Last Word Said
G2: Taremu Shaken Snowglobe

Comments: G1 goes to the turkish van - i love the even face on this cat, this file looks to be quite tricky to get a nice face on even in good leg alignments. G2 goes to the honey bear - a very clean and elegant looking cat and pose, solid white can be so pretty!

OLFACTION #2

another brief one; i'm not live-judging/posting placements here for the breed rings (i'll still post the group rings and wc + comments on those as i judge them!) but i also need a place to keep track if i come across any DQ'ed petz or if i withhold placement for any reason from a ring.

WINNER'S CIRCLE
BIS: Nosewise South of the Border (American Leopard Hound, Hound)
BW: Uplands Burden of Loyalty (Braque Du Bourbonnais, Gundog)
RW: PD's Floating on Hopes (Shetland Sheepdog, Pastoral)
W1: Filthy's Keeper of the Red Plateau (Anatolian Shepherd Dog, Working)
W2: Frogbowl Windermere (Lakeland Terrier, Terrier)
W3: Cargo's Chia Pet (Mutt, Utility)
W4: Frogbowl Rich Dog (Shih Tzu, Toy)

Comments: damn i did not realise how many petzy files ended up in this WC until it was in front of me! BIS' pose really blew me away - i show this file myself and have taken MANY poses for my dogz yet not one of them looks this good lmao. perfectly even with a very proud looking head! the braque in BW also has another perfect pose - so many clean lines on this dog - and i really love how his pigment and coat match perfectly. the RW sheltie has another lovely, even headed pose - the low head looks really pretty on this file, i feel like it emphasises their fluffiness! W1 through to W4 was close but the anatolian stood out the most, really a pixel perfect pose that makes the dog look elegant and noble. the last three dogz are all petzy files and all have lovely even heads with none of the ball-roll funniess that sometimes comes with the heads on petzy files - i love the bright eyes of the lakeland, the fun colouration of the mutt and the beautifully represented sable of the shih tzu!

GROUPS
GUNDOG
G1: Uplands Burden of Loyalty
G2: Mirror Blue's Hold Her Close
G3: Uplands False Gods
G4: Wodnik Szuwarek z Szuwarów

Comments: holy moly everyone has been working so hard at the breed boost, this was pretty much impossible to judge. would love to see multiple of these dogz in the winner's circle! every dog that has placed in group has a beautiful pose - all of them are so clean and striking. G1 goes to the braque, a gorgeous dog and i love the shade of pink used on the nose and how it looks with the cream and white. G2 goes to the GLP, there is something so serene looking about this dog and pose, it looks effortless. G3 goes to the irish water spaniel - what a proud looking dog with such a rich colouration!! and finally G4 goes to the weim - a lovely pose, another really proud looking dog.

HOUND
G1: Nosewise South of the Border
G2: TrailHawk's The Star Room
G3: Mirror Blue's Memory Has Won
G4: Pemberley Lucky Ones

Comments: another tough one. G1 goes to the american leopard hound, this is an absolutely stunning pose (and i've posed this file a fair bit!). i also love the sable merle on this dog - it looks so natural, even for petz. G2 goes to the plott, a lovely tidy pose and very soft and calm expression. G3 goes to the ibizan - my last show's BIS winner, still really making an impact on me in the ring - this dog and pose are simply gorgeous. and finally G4 goes to the beagle, a very tidy looking dog and pose, and i know that this file does not make getting such a nice pose easy hehe

PASTORAL
G1: PD's Floating on Hopes
G2: Cargo's Illuminated Manuscript
G3: Blizzard BAGNISKO
G4: Wulver Smooth Masculinity

Comments: G1 goes to the sheltie - such a gorgeous pose and rich coloration on the tiny lil fluffy dog! love the look of the low head here. G2 goes to the OES - a really balanced and sturdy looking dog, with the typical and clean markings of an irl OES. G3 goes to the mudi - a lovely representation of an isabella pigmented dog, and the low headed pose is really graceful and pretty. finally, G4 goes to the smoothie - a very proud looking pose, once again with a really clean and balanced overall look

TERRIER
G1: Frogbowl Windermere
G2: Flashburn Drinks On Us
G3: Savage Love of Kezia
G4: Hadrian's Court Poisoner

Comments: G1 goes to the lakeland terrier - this is such a gorgeous, neat looking pose on a petzy file, and i love how bright and clear the eyecolour is. G2 goes to the mini bull terrier, this little dog is stunning and the low-headed pose really makes him look sharp yet docile - i think this low head really suits this file. G3 goes to the jagdterrier - a super clean and elegant pose and rich liver colours on the dog! finally, G4 goes to the border terrier - a very noble looking pose, with a perfectly even head

TOY
G1: Frogbowl Rich Dog
G2: Czeko's Uptown Girl
G3: Incurro Driven By Instinct
G4: Monkshood Denali Sojourn

Comments: G1 goes to the shih tzu - love the colouration of this dog and the pose is really even and compact, despite him being such a lil fuzzball! G2 goes to the lowchen - lots of smooth, elegant lines in this pose, perfect for a smooth and elegant dog. G3 goes to the iggy - a super tidy pose and i love the mischievous look that is captured on his face (since they're terrors irl too). and finally G4 goes to the AKK - a lovely tidy pose, this dog really stood out in the ring because of how smooth the pose looked, particularly the liplines!

UTILITY
G1: Cargo's Chia Pet
G2: Morphee`s STRACH SIE BAC
G3: Dragosani MŁODY GNIEWNY
G4: Pendragon's Back Off Boogaloo

Comments: G1 goes to the mutt - this pose really struck me in the very competitive breed ring, the head is absolutely spot-on, and i love how bright and rich the colours are on this dog (since mutts don't exist in real life and pretty much accept any colour and pattern, i love to see a bit of fun in their colours/patterns in the mutt ring). G2 goes to the xolo - a lovely, tidy pose, lots of very sharp lines which perfectly suits a sharp and hairless dog irl. G3 goes to the lagotto - such a pretty and refined looking dog, this pose really looks elegant yet effortless. and finally G4 goes to the english bulldog - another perfect head on a petzy file, this dog looks so sturdy and clean!

WORKING
G1: Filthy's Keeper of the Red Plateau
G2: Shadowfox The Soldier on the Grave
G3: Crowned Necromancer
G4: Geriatrix Canadian Bruv

Comments: G1 goes to the anatolian, i loved this dog in my last show and when it came down to judging the group today i could not get this dog out of my mind, such a gorgeous pose on a lovely dark brindle dog. G2 goes to the great dane, another dog i absolutely adore and who placed very well in my last show, it really was a battle between G1 and G2 that just favoured the anatolian! gorgeous pose on a stunning dog - very noble. G3 goes to the spanish mastiff, a stunning pose, i really love it in this breed where the wrinkles roughly cover about 50/50 of the eyes in pose, it looks clean yet still typical of the breed. finally, G4 goes to the newfoundland - i love the refined and kind expression on this dog!
