A really lovely show in one of best settings, thank you to my very efficient stewards in both my rings.

.Welsh Cardigan Corgi 

I had some lovely dogs entered today, a few where either out of coat, loosing coat or just returning into coat, but I think this is more to do with the heat we've had, but coat will return. A few exhibits where lacking muscle-tone which did in my opinion affect movement & therefore placings.

Vet D/B

1st Froggatt's; Am Ch Rhydown Rhinestone Cowboy for Gerefa (Imp ): 11 yr male, broad head with good ear placement, muscular neck & chest of good depth, firm topline & ample bone, defiantly didn't look his age & covered the ground on the move. BVD & BVIB

2nd Lovell's; Liebehund Thyme Please: 7 yr male, not quiet as heavily built as 1st, foxy shaped head with large erect ears well placed. Strong neck firm topline with good tail carriage, moved out well.

Puppy Dog

1st Khenkina's; Mal Bagushy Chester: 8 months old, very well schooled. Good width to skull with large well placed ears, moderate stop, and muscular neck well angulated shoulders; good breadth of chest & fairly long in body, with enough bone for his age, good tail set carried low on move. Moved with good reach & drive. BPD & BPIB

Junior Dog

1st McIntosh's; Hova Bonde's Knatterton (Imp): 14 mth, masculine head, with large well placed erect ears, dark eye & good pigmentation, muscular neck well placed shoulders, firm topline held on move, plenty of bone, well padded feet.

Post Grad Dog

Three lovely males all had good attributes & I was splitting hairs between them.

1st Lovell's; Liebehund Forest Moon; smaller in frame than 2 & 3 but so balanced, masculine foxy shaped head with good width between large erect ears, moderate stop & dark widely set eyes with clearly defined corners, muscular neck & shoulders well laid back, firm in back & good rear angulations, strong vertical hocks allowing forward reach & drive.

2nd Burgoyne's; Waterdeep Ranger One JW: similar attributes to 1st but just preferred 1st movement

3rd McIntosh's; Hova Bonde's Knatterton (Imp):

Limit Dog

1st Robert's; Gowerston Grand Joins Kogarahs: liked this boy as he entered the ring, masculine foxy shaped head, with correct ratio of muzzle an skull, eyes toning with coat, large erect well placed ears, good under jaw, muscular neck with good fore chest & depth allowing front legs to mould round his body, shoulders well laid back with well sprung ribs, strong firm topline & well muscled hindquarters, with plenty of bone throughout, thick brush like tail carried well. Well padded feet all combined allowed positive forward reach & good drive from behind & both sound going & coming. BD & BOB in challenge he was much more focused on job in hand & looked like he could go all day.

2nd Froggart's; Gerefa Ghost Rider; broad head of correct proportions, well placed ears & nice eye, good length of neck & well placed shoulder, firm topline with good rear angulations, steady on move but just preferred 1st overall proportions for type.

Neck well muscled with good fore chest, good lay back of shoulder & depth of chest, front legs moulded in around body, well sprung rib with strong loin, well angulated hind quarters with strong hocks & plenty of padding to feet. Won this class on his steady, effortless & powerful movement, RBD in challenge just thought limit winner had slight edge over him on movement.

2nd Froggart's; Wildcard Queen Of Clubs For Gerefa: 10month bitch, lovely proportions, but needs time to fill out slightly, but feminine foxy shaped head with well placed large ears, good length of neck going into well placed shoulders, just needs to drop into herself, good length of back with good tail set, just needs to tighten up all through. But sound both going away & returning.

Puppy Bitch

1st Taylor's; Tamlin Voodoo Cream: balanced puppy for her age. Lovely feminine head with good ear placement, dark eyes & medium length of neck & front developing with shoulders well placed, topline firm with good rear angulations, steady on move. BPB in puppy challenge she was slightly more bouncy

Feminine in head with large well placed ears, dark eye & moderate amount of stop, muscular neck on well set shoulders with a good fore chest & depth of chest, legs moulding round body with ample bone on well padded feet. Ribs well sprung with good length of back, well muscled hindquarters & firm hocks allowing plenty of reach & drive. Pushed hard for RB

2nd Keeble's; Keebleway Blue Minks: feminine head with sweet expression, but wasn't happy today & didn't use her ears, neck of medium length on well placed shoulders, good length of back, with good rear angulations, wasn't really happy on move. Think heat got to her.
