Post Graduate Bitch (15/1)

1.Mowatt & Smith’s TabanyaRuu Peppi.  20 month old brown tri bitch that headed a large class and pulled out all the stops to show herself to advantage.  So well trained to stand correctly and fore square.  Lovely feminine head, broad and slightly domed.  Defined stop and well placed ears, which are the right size and not too heavy.  Stood well with strong front and back legs.  Moderate angle of shoulder with elbows pointing backwards and in line with body which accounts for her excellent front movement.  Hindquarters strong and moderately low set hock joints.  Good tail carriage.  Moved with drive and ease.  Graded Very Good. RBB. Heather Head.


Peppi has enjoyed considerable success in the show ring in a very short space of time.

Kent County

Judge: Sue Bird

PG: 1. (4) Four very nice young bitches all at roughly the same age and I think on another day they could all change places.

Mowatt's TabanyaRuu Peppi, super head, good strong features, dark oval eyes, correct bite, strong neck and shoulders, well laid back, good depth of chest, strong back, moderate tuck-up, hindquarters strong and well muscled, coat rich brown and harsh.  There was not a lot to split between 1 & 2, in the end just came down to the ease at which the winner covered the ground and showed herself off at all times.  BOB. G3.


FLCGB 3rd Annual Breed Show
Judge: Mr. Matti Tuominen - juuran - Finland

3rd from 13 in Novice Bitch

'Excellent type and excellent proportions. Lovely temperament. Good neck and top line. Good tail set. Good bones. Out of coat today. Turning out her front feet on standing and needs to improve her front movement a lot. Moves well to side. Excellent presentation'.


Her other wins include:

Best Puppy and RBB at Three Counties under Stuart Mallard

‘Mowatt & Smith’s TabanyaRuu Peppi, feminine brown, balanced head coming, good chest and depth on sound limbs, ribs well sprung, topline tailset carriage and hindquarters to suit, moved well, good deportment, quality coat coming RBB & BP’


Best Puppy at Working & Pastoral Breeds Association of Wales under Sue Pollack


Best Puppy at Southern Counties under Finnish Judge Gunnel Holm.

‘Mowatt & Smith’s TabanyaRuu Peppi, charming puppy with good proportions, very feminine, well set tail BP’

This I feel was her best achievement at a Championship Show as the class consisted of ten quality bitch puppies (the largest Finnish Lapphund Puppy Bitch Championship Class of the year).


The only show Peppi attended where she was not awarded Best Puppy (her last show as a puppy although sadly no puppy class) was at Windsor where she came second in Junior (a strong class of eight) under Rodney Oldham.

‘Mowatt & Smith’s TabanyaRuu Peppi, brown of substance, feminine with neat head, eye of good shape, colour to follow coat, defined stop, straight front, well ribbed up and back, good topline and tailset, definition to quarters, steady mover.’


1st Post Graduate at Bournemouth under Jeff Horswell.

Peppi has also turned heads at Open Shows.  Her wins include:

Best Puppy & PG2 at Horsham & DCS March 08

‘Mowatt & Smith’s TabanyaRuu Peppi, lovely chocolate brown baby bitch, lovely eye colour to compliment coat colour, well put together, covered in a very dense jacket of quality.  Tailset and carriage correct, moved well for a baby and pleased to see her go BP and Group 2 later on under Elizabeth Smith’  Allyson King (Allyking)

Best Puppy & PG3 at Kenty County Canine Association February 08 (strong AVNSC class of seven)

‘Mowatt & Smith’s TabanyaRuu Peppi, Finnish Lapphund.  Very smart brown tri bitch in good coat and condition, happy, confident mover, pleasing head and expression, strongly made but feminine, nicely put together and showed well.  BP and PG3.’  Frances Richards (Elemore).
