Beagles 

Many thanks to the Officers and Committee for inviting me to judge the breed. Thanks to my excellent stewards but especially the exhibitors for their sportsmanship in accepting my placements. 

For me, the beagle should be just as in the breed standard, "A merry hound"  and this is  exactly what the Beagle should convey in his demeaner, his attitude, the way he looks at you and goes about his business. Confident and well mannered, he should never be aggressive or rowdy but alert and interested in his surroundings, essentially full of life and happy.  All coupled with a soft expression and correct construction. 

Minor Puppy – Dog (2) 

1st  DEACONFIELD KINGCRAFT (MISS D G TAYLOR) 

Lovely boy. Good head and eye, good reach of neck into correct shoulder. Standing and on the move, he kept the correct topline. Very much a baby but sound throughout and showy. 

2nd  FALLOWFIELD TREMENDOUS (MRS C LEWIS) 

Compact and very close up to winner. On the day, not quite the topline of #1 but this will change as he is very young. Nice head good firm front and nicely angulated. 

Puppy – Dog (6) 

Very strong class  

1st  EARDLEY ALEC TRICITY (MESSRS T N & S A JONES & JEPSON) 

A stunning puppy, lovely head and soft expression with a kind eye onto a lovely arched neck. Short coupled good firm straight front. Sound throughout and moved with drive and gusto. 

2nd  EVALUX BEATLE GEORGE FOR ROSSUT (MISS P A SUTTON) 

Another excellent example of the breed. Lovely head free from frown, superb outline and so well made. Tight feet and in good condition. Scored in body shape and movement. #1 just had the very slight edge with his outlook.

Junior – Dog (3,1) 

1st  DIALYNNE PITCH PERFECT (MISS M SPAVIN) 

Upstanding male, liked his head and expression. Well made on good legs and feet. Excelled in body and good topline which he retained on the move. Moved well in profile and fore and aft. 

2nd  VIRACOCHA HOT DIGGITY DAWG (MRS C AYRES-COUSINS) 

Nice boy of merit, well boned and decent head shape , good angulation but not quite the strength of front or tail carriage of winner 

Yearling – Dog (3)

1st  EARDLEY LES CANOODLE (MESSRS T N & S A JONES & JEPSON).  

For me he stood out as soon as he came into the ring. Classic outline, well constructed and strongly made male with a fantastic nature and disposition.
