Puppy - Dog

2 good quality dogs. 

1st AVICE AIRBORNE WITH BOUVPILOT (MESDAMES F & M MR M LAMBERT, EASTHAM & CRAIG). Just had the edge today in maturity of body and spring of rib.  Good head proportions with flat skull and breadth of muzzle.  Strong neck.  Good forehand with depth of chest and good strong bone.  Compactly built.  Moved well.    

2nd MON CHER KARMA MAN FOR WISPAFETE (IKC) (MISSES H M & S JONES & GIBBONS).  Giving away a bit in age but he too is a good moving youngster with some power from the rear. Very good head, dark eye and correct expression.  Strong, slightly crested neck.  Strong, short back.  Moderate angulation.      

Post Graduate - Dog

1st MON CHER ARTFUL DODGER (MISS C BURNETT). Compactly built and masculine with good depth of brisket and breadth of chest.  Flat skull, neat well set ears. Well boned with compact, well padded feet.  Dense harsh jacket. Moved well with some drive. 

2nd ATREYDES ARRAKIS (MISS J & MR S HAMILTON & METCALFE).   Good skull with strong jaws and imposing expression.  Moderate strong neck, good shoulders.  Well ribbed ut a fraction longer in loin than the winner.  Good croup.  Typical dense unkempt coat. Once settled moved soundly.

1st CH/DUTCH CH LISKPORT LORD OF THE RINGS (AI) W'16 (MRS F LAMBERT).  Most impressive with compact outline and forbidding expression.  Flat masculine skull, good ears, strong jaw.  Good neck which is well muscled and nicely arched.  Well ribbed compact body with excellent tailset and carriage.  Well coated and presented to best advantage.  Really shines on the move with his very easy powerful stride.  CC & BOB over a very good quality bitch.   

2nd NL/IR CH OPUS MON CHER KLEMENTYNA Z FLANDRYJSKIEGO GNIAZDA CJW'14 (MISS C BURNETT).  Reserve CC.  Pushed the winner hard and he too is a grand dog of great type and balance.  Excellent forehand with good bone and decent feet.  Deep well ribbed body with strong short loin and good croup.  Dry harsh coat. Moved well with some drive from the rear.   

3rd CH MON CHER JOSHUA TREE (IKC) (MR R & MRS R LOWRY)  

Puppy - Bitch 

Entries: 1 Absentees: 0  

1st AVICE REACH FOR THE SKY WITH BOUVPILOT (MESDAMES F & M MR M LAMBERT, EASTHAM & CRAIG).  Reserve CC and Best Puppy.  I thought she was most exciting and, in my notes, I wrote CC quality! Pleasing head with typical expression, strong moderate neck, excellent shoulders and good bone.  Short, deep well ribbed body.  Broad, nicely rounder rump.  A very good moving bitch.

1st CH/IR CH MON CHER MUSTANG SALLY (MISS C BURNETT).  A lovely quality bitch of really good type and style.  Excellent head with forbidding expression.  Good forehand with strong bone and good feet.  Deep, well ribbed, compact body with broad, curvy rump.  Her movement is exemplary with plenty of drive and freedom.  Good quality coat.  CC.  

2nd BOUVPILOT MEMPHIS BELLE (AI) (MESDAMES F & M MR M LAMBERT, EASTHAM & CRAIG).  Excellent head and expression; strong slightly arched neck and good breadth and depth of chest.  Powerful, well ribbed compact body.  Free moving and impressed in profile but not quite the drive of the winner or her younger kennel mate.
