A S/W with sweet expression, flat skull, good eye, and neat under jaw with well used ears, in good coat, showed well and moved well for age. BPD  2. Noble- Gemshells Silver Eclipse-What a lovely temperament this boy had absolutely loving his day in the ring. B/M a bigger type than 1. all over, but balanced over all. Moved ok once got going.  Puppy Dog (1,0)  1. Noble- Gemshells Silver Eclipse- 2nd in previous class  Junior Dog (3,0)  1. Smith- Orean On The Nightrain-Handsome S/S/W.

Sangster- Amethrickeh Stormi Wizard- This Handsome B/M I could just take home, I have done him well before and not a lot has changed other than he has matured, still a young man but boy is this lad super to go over. Not a showman as such but you must see past this as his construction and movement are sensational. His head, is so balanced, well rounded muzzle, good underjaw, beautiful almond eye, flat skull, and well placed ears, well arched neck, front angulations are text book, good lay of shoulder and a super upperarm. Level topline, enough length of loin, sweeping turn on stifle and short neat hocks, tail past the hock. All of this and of course his movement is second to none.
