Hound Puppy D/B (1. 0abs)

1. Mrs PA & Dr MA Ulyatts’ Saluki Fernlark Legend of Cornhaze. 9 month old puppy dog. Soundly constructed with a good length of loin. Good lay of shoulder and although immature, developing good muscling on the hindquarters. Well proportioned head with pleasing eye. Moved soundly. BP

Junior D/B (4. 0abs)

1. Mr CS & Mrs JK Nicholls’ Basenji Bahaticca’s Inferno for Shyllar (Imp Pol). Well balanced and alert 15 moth old dog. Nicely shaped head that tapered well towards the nose. Good strength in the neck setting beck into well placed shoulders. Short and level back. Moved soundly, striding out well and parallel viewed end on. RBoB 2. Miss SP Badman’s Min Wire Haired Dachshund bitch Tecklebridge Ashinee.Pleasing head and graceful neck. Well set shoulders and good topline and developing a good rump. Moved freely enough and parallel. Close up to the winner. 3. Mrs PA & Dr MA Ulyatts’ Saluki Fernlark Legend of Cornhaze.

Post Grad D/B (5. 2abs)

1. Mr B & Mrs A Buckley’s Saluki dog Hisilome’s Lamorak (Imp Swe).Structurally sound. Long narrow head, ears well set and covered. Graceful neck. Well set shoulders. Nicely bent behind and hock low to the ground. Moved well with effortless stride. Felt he was lacking in substance and showing too much rib. 2. Miss SP Badman’s Min Wire Haired Dachshund Tecklebridge Anneliese. Litter sister to the 2nd in Junior. A little unsettled and making life tricky for her handler. She too has well placed shoulders and a good topline. She strides out well and moves with purpose. Perhaps a little cow-hocked when seen going away. 3. Miss KS Moulding’s PBGV Nykarth Perfect Moment.

Open D/B (5. 2abs)

1. Mr CS & Mrs JK Nicholls’ Basenji dog Natures Masterpiece Fantastic Toyboy (Imp Fin). Handsome mature dog with typical head. Well balanced and an overall picture of a soundness. Well arched neck and a good lay of shoulder and level topline Hindquarters nicely bent. Moved soundly but tended to get over excited (especially in the Group). BOB 2. Mr B & Mrs A Buckley’s Saluki dog Hisilome’s Kareef ShCM (Imp Swe). Another with an elegant head and well covered ears. Long elegant neck, good depth of chest. Straight forelegs and bent behind. Moved soundly enough but rather lacking in effort. Again I would have preferred a little more substance. 3. Mrs C Allchin’s Norwegian Elkhound bitch Laakso Kia’s Cracker of Carolon.
